The Minish Cap is probably one of the best 2-D Zeldas ever made. It got lost a bit in the shuffle because it came out after the launch of the DS.
Not quite the worst, but certainly a shallow experience. Very linear at times (especially the dungeons) and the easiest game I've played in recent memory. I kept waiting for the game to take the training wheels off and really get serious and then... it was over.With all due respect to other members opinions, Minish Cap is easily the worst 2-D Zelda game ever made.

Just like in Wind Waker, Link is now childish and annoying (to look at and listen to), combat is way too easy, there’s too much dumb dialogue, too many silly side quests (that don’t properly reward your effort), rupees are too easy to accumulate, dungeons have become totally linear… In fact the whole game is linear, there’s no sense of exploration and never a doubt about what to do next. It’s a sad thing to admit but the Zelda franchise may have lost its mojo somewhere around ’02.
But hey, if chasing down chickens and collecting retarded figurines is your thing, then go grab Minish Cap.

Guardia Quest in Retro Game Challenge caused me to go out and get Final Fantasy: Dawn of Souls so I could go back to playing FF1. Oh man, its awesome. They made a few tweaks from the NES that make all the difference, and this FF1 port also has more dungeons.
Unfortunately, I did not really enjoy The Minish Cap as much as I would have liked to. I never died in the game, and the only time I had a threat of losing my life was against the final boss of the game.

It was an interesting game to play, but lacked polish and challenge compared to A Link to the Past.
Another one that is a must have is Sigma Star Saga. It's a mix between gradius and zelda. VERY interesting
