------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Minish Cap Items Smith's Sword-The is the first sword you get, and you get it right after the game has started. It is meant for the winner of the annual fighting competition at the Picori Festival, but since it seems that he has no use for it, you get permission to use it once you set out on your quest. It is a solid sword forged by your grandfather, and although not the strongest sword you will lay your hands on, he is afterall the finest smithy Hyrule has ever known, and that says something about the quality of the sword. Broken Picori Blade A magical and very reputable sword, which was used by the Legendary Picori when he restored peace to Hyrule, as told of in the Legends. It is your task to get the blade reforged, and have its powers restored so that you can free Zelda of the spell cast upon her. You get it after your meeting with the King. White Sword Once you get the Broken Picori Blade reforged at Mount Crenel, it will turn into the White Sword, and you can start using it! This blade is almost twice as strong as the sword your grandfather made, so it is quite an improvement. White Sword (Two Elements) As soon as you infuse the White Sword with the power of the two first elements, Earth and Fire, it will be filled with magic powers for you to use. Not only is it stronger than the regular White Sword, but now you can also duplicate yourself. White Sword (Three Elements) With the power of the Water Element added into the White Sword, it will become even stronger, both in physical and magical powers. Now you can make two copies of yourself, instead of just one. Four Sword Infused with the power of all four of the elements, the re-forged Picori Blade will become none other than the legendary Four Sword! It has immense magic powers, and can fire beams that will break curses of evil, as well as let Link turn into four Links! Shields Small Shield Your basic shield, and the one that will aid you through most of your quest. It is given to you by Princess Zelda in Hyrule Town in the very beginning of your adventure, and you must immediately use it to protect her from one of those dangerous Business Scrubs. Mirror Shield A shield almost as legendary as your final blade, it can protect you from as good as any enemy attack. You get it from Big Goron after he accidently turns your Small Shield into this one, when he is eating your Small Shield. Other Items Gust Jar The dungeon item of the very first dungeon, and a very useful one as well. It can be particulary handy against airborne enemies, as you can suck them into the jar, and then fire them at other enemies, thus taking two enemies out at once! Also good to have when you need to clean up the ground. Bombs What would a Zelda game be without the good old bombs? Not a Zelda game, that is for sure. As always, you use the bombs to blow up weak/cracked walls, floors and dangerous enemies. Once you've talked to the Minish Elder after completing the first dungeon, and leave the Minish Village through his house, you get the bombs in the first Minish house to the south when you are out of the village. Remote Bombs In some occacions these bombs are even more useful than the classic ones, as you can decide yourself when to set them off. Fuse a Kinstone with the Minish Elder in the village in the Minish Forest, and go back to where you first got your bombs to get these new and improved ones. Cane of Pacci Cane of Pacci is a very useful staff to say the least. With it you can defeat enemies from a distance, turn over pots and more importantly, save energy in holes, and make you jump higher when you launch out of them! It is the second dungeon's main item. Boomerang The Boomerang is a traditional weapon which you can actually go without in this game. Doesn't have much special abilities, except you can grab things from a distance, and stun certain enemies. Purchase it at the shop in Hyrule Town. Magical Boomerang You can get this upgraded boomerang by fusing Kinstones with Tingle and his four brothers(?). It has the same abilities as the regular one, only it goes farther and faster. Quite useful in certain circumstances. Pegasus Boots With these boots Link will be both fast and furious, as he will be lighter on his feet than ever before. A mere swamp won't cause any trouble with these equipped. You get them from the shoemaker in Hyrule Town. Bow Link's first choice of all the long-range weapons, or at least it should be, when he isn't out of arrows at least. It can take out many enemies very fast, without the danger of having to go up close, so it is extremely valuable. Found in Castor Wilds. Mole Mitts These powerful gloves add a new dimension to our hero's adventure. Now he can dig himself like a mole through the fluffy grounds of Hyrule, and discover new secrets. You acquire the Mole Mitts in the third dungeon. Ocarina of Wind The Ocarina of Wind was created by the Wind People, and will let you use the birds to take you quickly from one point to another. You can only be carried to the special points, which are where you find those statues that blow up. Once you've finished the third dungeon, this item will be yours. Flame Lantern By utlizing the Flame Lantern you can finally light those dead torches, and see in the rooms which were previously pitch black. Also especially useful against Gibdos, as you can just set their "toilet-paper" on fire. This item is hidden in the fourth dungeon. Roc's Cape Another very exciting item, this cape will let you jump and almost fly through the air, like Superman, eh, SuperLink! You get it in the fifth dungeon, which is nothing but natural since it is way up in the sky afterall. Bottles There are four empty bottles to be found in the game, and you use them to store fairies, potions, food, water and everything else that can be stored in a bottle. - The first bottle can be bought from the BBusiness Deku at the foot of Mount Crenel. - As mini-Link, go down through the chimneyy of the Rupee store, and take that bottle. Feed the food to his dog, and you have another empty bottle. - Fuse a kinstone with your grandfather, annd open the chest that appears, inside is the third empty bottle. - Fuse the Kinstones with the mysterious waalls throughout Hyrule to make the Gorons break through the cave. At the very end of it, you will find a chest containing the last empty bottle. Equipment Grip Ring Found in Mount Crenel, this ring will give Link the ability to climb those walls, an ability he will need in order to get to the top of the mountain (and down again, of course), and proceed in his adventure. Flippers With these handy swimfeet, link is waterborne and can swim over the deepest, longest and widest lakes and rivers of Hyrule, both as big and mini Link. To get the Flippers, you need to get return all the missing books in the Hyrule Town Library, and then go see the old Minish living there, who will guide you to them. Power Bracelets The Power Bracelets will increase Link's strength as a Minish, and he'll be able to lift and push things he hardly could move normal sized before. You will get the bracelets in your search for the three missing books in Hyrule Town's Library. Mysterious Shells Use the Mysterious Shells to pay for the figurines at the south-western corner of Hyrule Town. You will need quite a few to get all the figurines, but thankfully the shells can be found almost anywhere. Tiger Scrolls Tiger Scrolls are used for taking down all the different fighting techniques you learn from the trainers around in Hyrule. Should you ever forget how to do a technique, just look it up in the Tiger Scroll. Maps You will come across two different types of maps during your adventure, the World Map which is a large, yet detailed map of Hyrule. This map will be given to you on the start of your quest, and you will need to visit a certain area to get it on the map. The other map is the Dungeon Map, which shows you details of a specific dungeon, and these are found in their dungeons. Keys Obviously enough, you use the keys to open locked doors. The small keys are used for "normal" doors in the dungeon they were found, whereas the big key is the only key which leads to the final boss of a dungeon. The graveyard key is given to you by Dampé the Gravekeeper, and is needed to gain access to the graveyard. Hearts & Heartpieces These are crucial in your quest, as you need them to replenish your life gauge. Hearts can be found all over Hyrule by cutting grass and breaking stones, while the Heartpieces, which will add an extra heart to your life gauge when you collect four of them, are hidden in special places. Kinstone Bag Once you have completed the first dungeon, and go back to Hyrule Town, you will get this bag in which you keep all of your Kinstones. The Kinstones you find are only halves, so you must find people who have another matching half and fuse it with. This means good luck, and something good will surely happen when you do this! The Kinstones come in four different colors, and of each colour you will find three different shaped halves, except for the Gold pieces which come in even more different shapes! Green Blue Red Gold Four Elements Only with the Four Elements can Link restore the Picori blade to its full power, and hope to break the curse thrown on Princess Zelda and rescue the Land of Hyrule from the evil that threatens its very existence as the people know it!
