Then he decides to sit on top of Links head and follow him on your journey. Now head down all the way back to the tree stump we saw earliar. |
 | Ezlo will stop you and talk to you about the Minish, which are the same thing as the Picori. He will tell you that the Minish are actually extremely tiny. The tree stump is actually a way to make Link tiny enough to see the Minish. Jump on top of the Tree Stump and press R. After a small scene, Link will now be Tiny. Ezlo will tell you that these tree stumps are all over the land. There are a lot more dangers of being tiny now. Simple things such as high grass and small puddles now are hazards towards Link. Once you can control Link head left and now you can go through the little tunnel that was to small to go through before. |
 | There is a area of water here and in order to get by Link needs to get on the lily pad and ride it across. Just head passed this area here and head up to enter Minish Village. A bunch of Minish will gather around you say a couple things and then they will all spread out amongst the village. The Minish have their own language and Link doesn't understand what they are saying. |
 | You cannot go into any of the houses in the village, so for now just head all the way up and enter the huge building with a blue rook on it. Talk to Festari here and he will tell you you need a Jabber Nut. Exit the house and cross the bridge then head directly to the top-right of the screen and head right here. Grab the Piece of Heart that is waiting for you. |
 | Now head back left a screen. Once you get back to the blue house, head down from the passage on the right. You will get to a brown bridge, where you should head right and go down the stairs here. Head to the top of this room and you will see a typical Zelda puzzle here. Simply just push the block in the middle to either the left or right so you can get by. |
 | The little thing at the top-left of the room is the Jabber Nut. The Jabber Nut will now allow Link to be able to understand the language of the Minish. Afterwords heed back outside. All the Minish around will now speak to you so if you would like you could take some time and see what the have to say. Afterwords, simply head all the way to the top-left of the Village. There are some stairs here which lead to a Yellow-roofed house. |
 | Talk to the guy in here and he will tell you that you need to collect four elemental stones in order to forge your blade. He marks on your map where all four of them are located. He tells you that the first one is located in Deepwood Shrine, which is being guarded by Festari. Simply exit the building now, head back to the right and enter the blue-roofed building and talk to Festari here and he will let you pass.
