From Mark Brown on The Minish Cap
What was said about The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords
Four Swords' Link-splitting idea was reused and grown in The Minish Cap. The Minish Cap's mechanic of splitting Link into several forms comes from Four Swords, which Capcom also made. Four Swords is the origin of the idea that several Links work together to solve puzzles.
The Minish Cap builds on it across the game: two Links in Fortress of Winds, three in Palace of Winds and four in Dark Hyrule Castle. Each dungeon extends the same idea instead of starting fresh. Mark Brown: "It's interesting to see a puzzle motif build throughout the entire game."
