They also reminded me a lot of Gelflings from the Dark Crystal universe, whom are also split up in tribes that live in different natural settings. In general the Picori remind me of the Koroks, both in personality but in way of life. They were all really sweet and overly cheery, sort of like the Koroks in Breath of the Wild. My favorite aspect of the book was definitely the Picori themselves and getting to explore their villages. But I still really liked him and his background and story. When it comes to LOZ villains, Vaati in this story was not nearly as dangerous or evil as someone like Ganondorf, or Vaati in other games, or Zant, or literally anyone else (except for maybe Lady Maude). I really liked how cartoonish and whimsical the art style was, and I also like how lighthearted everything managed to be even though the conflict itself was pretty serious.
We got to follow Link along as he visited different groups of Picori across Hyrule so he can fix the Sacred Blade to save Zelda and defeat Vaati. We have the usual "Link gets shoved into the position of a hero and he has to save Princess Zelda," but then we have a story that focuses so much about these mysterious creatures, the Picori. I liked how the story was both so similar and also so different from every other Zelda game. This was such a sweet book, and I know that I've said that for every single Legend of Zelda manga so far, but I don't care, it applies to this as well. Though the lack of a serious tone and feeling of gravity to the events unfolding does feel like a slight betrayal of the story actually being told.
This book shines in its total embrace of comedy and character interplay. Perhaps the least serious entry of the entire set. Though they are just glimpses of what is left unsaid and under shown. The art style is wonderful and there are a few moments that really give the reader a feeling of a great epic journey.
Travel time is also low and the journey feels rushed into a fast forward pace. Often he simply is shown finishing or receiving whatever is needed. Temple progression is barely even depicted. This interpretation of Link is rarely serious and often a bit of a bumbling goofball.īattles are at an all time low and most of what Link does is simply show up in time to receive a prize or talisman. Ezlo is a constant source of snarky humor. The tone and attitude never even remotely veers towards dark and gloomy. The tone of Minish Cap is much in line with the Oracle of Seasons/Ages set.
