Mini-Games,(BotW)[1] also known as Minigames,(OoS | TWWHD | TP)[2][3][4][name reference needed] are a recurring element in The Legend of Zelda series. Mini-Games go unnamed in The Minish Cap.
Overview[]
In most of their appearances, Mini-Games are independent elements of the main game. They have a much smaller scale and the mechanics and rules might differ from the main game. Mini-Games can range from short and easy to long and tedious, and usually result in being awarded prizes such as Pieces of Heart or upgrades.
