Legend of zelda Minish cap

The minish, also referred to as the Picori by the Hyruleans, are a race of tiny creatures that bestowed a young boy with a green garment, a sword,

and a shining golden light to drive back the darkness many years before the game is set. There are three types of minish: Town, Forest, and Mountain.

As a prequel to Four Swords, the plot of Legend of zelda Minish cap revolves around the backstory of Vaati and the birth of the Four Sword,

which were important elements of Four Swords and Four Swords Adventures.

The quest begins when Link is chosen by the king of Hyrule to seek the help of the Picori after Vaati had destroyed the Picori Blade and petrified Princess Zelda.

With the blade shattered, evil monsters were released into Hyrule and Vaati was able to create chaos in his search for the Light Force.

Link was chosen because only children can see the Picori. On the voyage he rescues Ezlo, a strange being resembling a green cap with a bird-like head,

who joins him and can make Link shrink to the size of the minish.

Although it is not revealed at first, he and Vaati are minish (picori)—ezlo a renowned sage and craftsman and Vaati his apprentice.

Vaati became corrupted by the madness and hatred of men and took a magic hat Ezlo had made for the people in Hyrule.

The hat grants any wish made by the bearer, and Vaati wished to become a powerful sorcerer.

Vaati then turned his old master, who had tried to stop them, into a hat.

With the help of Ezlo, Link retrieves the four elemental artifacts and uses them to restore the Picori Blade to the Four Sword, capable of defeating Vaati.

After Link restores the Four Sword, Vaati turns Hyrule Castle into Dark hyrule Castle—the final dungeon in the game.

Link fights Vaati just before he can drain Zelda of all of the Light Force hidden within her.

Link defeats Vaati after engaging in a fight that consists of Vaati changing forms.

When Link and Zelda flee from the collapsing castle, they meet Vaati as he again changes form for the final battle of the game.

After the battle, Ezlo returns to his original form. He finds the cap of wishes he created and gives it to Zelda, granting her a wish.

The people cursed by Vaati are cured and the castle is turned back to normal. The hat overflows with the power of life and disappears.

Ezlo gives Link a new hat and tells him that he enjoyed traveling with him, then leaves just as the door to the Legend of zelda Minish cap world closes.
