Minish Cap - Summary

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish CapÕs story is very similar to past Zelda games. The game starts with Link and Princess Zelda as children, and both heading together to celebrate Hyrule's annual festival. But during the festival, Vaati, a powerful swordsman, appears and takes away the sacred Picori Blade while turning Zelda along with other folks into stone statues. The one and only source to restore the sword as well as princess and to defeat Vaati is through the legendary Picori, also known as the Minish people, who according to legends are a magical tiny race and which appear only to kind-hearted children. This makes Link Ð the main character Ð once again the only hope to regain peace and prosperity of Hyrule. As the game develops, Link encounters with a tiny creature known as Ezlo, who later joins Link throughout the adventure to become his hat, and hence the name ÔMinish Cap.Õ Ezlo, with his magical power to shrink Link to Minish size, helps Link to enter the tiny Minish village, apart from entering holes in the ground and cracked walls. Additionally, Minish cap gives young Link advice, and enables him to talk with animals. Many of the items and abilities displayed by Minish hat are unique as well as clever.
