One of those games was The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, a main series Zelda game (and if you’re into timelining, the second earliest of all). From what I remember of the original launch, it was pretty popular. It also gave us Vaati’s backstory, showing us that the nasty monster first seen in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords used to be human. Now, one of the perks of the ambassador program was that
