5. The Minish Cap

We didn't know we needed a story about how Link got his iconic green hat until this point, not that that was a question we were asking in the first place, but we were happy to learn about it all the same.

The only Link to literally grown and shrink throughout his adventure, but this only proves that size doesn't matter.

And here Link's adventure again shows homage to ancient myths again with the titular Minish race, which behave like Brownies, a creature from folklore that, just like the minish, are a small race of creatures that love to help people, but hate to be noticed. Ironic, since it helped the small handheld Nintendo DS it was released on very well noticed indeed.

Utilizing the art style of Wind Waker, while taking place in another continuty, it showed that amazing ability to walk the line between tradition and progress the series is so well known for. This was also the Link that made us feel a pang of lonliness when the hat wouldn't join his adventure in Breath of the Wild.
