January 10^th, 2005 (12:44pm) - Nintendo has announced that The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap has finally shipped to retailers in North America.

Developed by Capcom’s Flagship Studios, The Minish Cap once again puts players into the shoes of our hero Link as he embarks on a huge quest of a tiny scale. In the game, Link will use the power of a mystical hat called the Minish Cap to shrink to the size of the tiny Minish people of ancient Hyrule lore in order to rescue the Princess Zelda from a spell the sorcerer Vaati had cast upon her; a spell that had turned her to stone. It is up to Link to once again save the Princess and restore Hyrule to times of peace by exterminating the threat Vaati presents.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is rated "E" and will retail for a suggested price of $29.99.
