Minish Cap Item Info

Bombs: These explosives are great for causing damage to groups of enemies, and even blowing open hollow walls. When you plant one, it will blow up after a few seconds, so get out of the way!

Boomerang: Another staple in the Zelda games, this item can be thrown to stun/damage enemies, and it comes back to you! There are two versions: the regular one, and the Magical Boomerang. The difference is that the magical one can be thrown farther.

Bottle: Use these to store items, such as fairies, water, potions, etc.

1: In the Trilby Highlands, go down a ladder into a cave, where you'll find a Business Scrub. Pay 20 Rupees for your first Bottle.

2: Complete a Kinstone fusion with the Smith in your house, then retrieve this one at Eastern Hills.

3: After getting the Power Bracelets, shrink down to Picori size in the cafe at Hyrule Town. Push the bookshelf to the left, then climb up to the rafters. Walk across the bridge above outside to the shop, and go down into the shop itself. Revert to normal and check the bottle on the shelf. The shopkeeper will let you have it if you feed his dog. Go to Lake Hylia and into the house on the north end. Give the dog food and the bottle is yours.

4: Complete the Kinstone fusions to fully excavate the Goron cave in Lon Lon Ranch to find this at the end (see the Secrets section for more details).

Bow: Another staple to the Zelda series, you can use the traditional bow and arrows to shoot down your enemies. Just make sure you don't run out of ammo, and you'll be fine.

Cane of Pacci: This cane is rather odd in that it makes you jump higher. To use it though, you must shoot its beam at a hole in the ground, then jump into it to bounce higher than you'd otherwise be able to. Very useful for reaching high ledges and such.

Flame Lantern: As you would expect from a lantern, it can light the unlit lamps you find around the game. Press the button once to start the flame, and it will last as long as you want, until you press it a second time.

Flippers: Like you would imagine, these will allow you to swim in deeper water! When swimming, you can press B to dive for a brief moment.

Grip Ring: Found on Mount Crenel, this allows you to climb certain rocky walls with your bare hands. Very useful for reaching those mountain summits throughout the game.

Gust Jar: An interesting jar used to blow wind at the enemies. It can be used to clean off dirty areas and even propel yourself while riding certain platforms.

Mirror Shield: The upgrade to your regular shield. It's much larger and can deflect more attacks than your smaller shield ever could have.

Mole Mitts: Use these to dig through the dirt walls found in many caves throughout the game. They are extremely useful in finding hidden treasures and progressing in certain dungeons.

Ocarina of Wind: Like the Flute in the SNES Zelda, when used you will be given the option to warp to various points on the overworld. Throughout the game you can uncover certain markings on the ground; those are the spots you can warp to with the Ocarina. It's essential for travelling the world in a short period of time.

Pegasus Boots: Your speed-up boots, basically. Use them to dash around quickly than your normal walking speed.

Power Bracelets: Their use in this game is rather unconventional, but does the job nonetheless. When you are small sized, it gives you the power of your regular size, enabling you to pick up/push objects that would otherwise be too big for you in that state.

Roc's Cape: Use this to jump high in the air. If you hold down the button after pressing it, you'll peak in the air and hover for a brief moment. This item is very useful in crossing gaps and such; too bad you get it so late in the game!

Small Shield: Your initial shield, it's good for basic defense against enemies. You cannot block stronger projectiles, such as fireballs, so be careful when protecting yourself.

Sword: Your primary blade/weapon as you would expect. You can hold down the button to charge it up for a spinning blade attack. Also, if you have full health, you can shoot beams from its tip. As you progress in the game you'll get better, more powerful swords.
