Ezlo is a companion met in The Minish Cap.
Background
He is first met when Link is sent to the Minish Woods to find the Minish to assist in repairing the Picori Blade. After traveling a ways into the woods, Link hears Ezlo's cries for help, as he being attacked by Octoroks. After defeating them, and discovering he kind of needs someone to carry him, Ezlo volunteers to travel with Link... by being his hat.
Ezlo was originally a Minish Sage himself, but when his apprentice, Vaati, stole from the wizard a magic hat that could grant wishes, he was transformed into a cap. At the end of The Minish Cap, once Vaati was defeated, Ezlo changed into his true form once again.
Powers
Ezlo has the power to change Link's size into the size of the Minish in order for him to explore their world, using Minish Portals.
Trivia
- Despite common belief, the title of The Minish Cap is not a reference to Ezlo. It is actually a magical creation of Ezlo's to grant the wearer a single wish, which Vaati used to turn himself into a powerful wizard, and turn Ezlo into the form he takes for most of the game.
- Ezlo only shows his face when he is talking to Link. All other times, his sprite on Link's head looks just like Link's regular sprite in Four Swords.
- Features of Ezlo in his Minish form can also be seen in his hat form (i.e. the swirl of hair on his head and the appearance of his eyes).
