The Minish Cap is one of my favorite games of all time and definitely my favorite Zelda game. Everything from the dungeon puzzling, to the story, to the music is perfection, and the synergy between Capcom and Nintendo was like no other.
Do you guys have any reccomendations for similar games? Specifically in relation to the gameplay e.g. 2d puzzle dungeons, adventure fantasy, creative items, etc.
I don't know if you've played Oracle of Ages/Seasons, but those are two more great Capcom Zelda games.
I saw someone else say CrossCode, and I can second that. CrossCode is the only game I have ever played to perfectly capture the way games felt on the Nintendo DS. Control, aesthetic, everything. It made me immediately nostalgic the first time I played it.
I'd say LoZ: Echoes of Wisdom tried to be like this, unfortunately it's a bit bland. Might be worth checking if you haven't yet though.
For something I enjoyed more, CrossCode is a fun top-down action RPG, but it's more of a sci-fi/fantasy thing and a bit more on the action side. It does have extensive dungeons with lots of puzzles though (often relying on switches, timing, movable blocks and clever ways to use your ball-shooting weapon).
Moonlighter is a roguelike with similar gameplay. The art style also borrowed a lot from Minish Cap.
Obviously, it is not a straight-up Zelda game, but I enjoyed it, and you can tell the developer was a fan of Zelda too.
Pretty much any of the 2d Zeldas fit this bill. Link to the Past/between Worlds... Link's Awakening...etc. There's also a game called Oceanhorn from several years ago that tried to be a Zelda clone, but I didn't get very far in it.

Just finished my first playthrough and I'm in love. Play Tunic.
Also check out the Blossom Tales games. I have not played yet, but I got Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King because of how Zelda-like it looks.
Man this pots brought back some memories. The minis cup was my first "real" game on my Gameboy.
