This game introduced a new race to the series which hasn't been seen in any other games since, the [[Minish|Picori]] (or Minish). These small creatures can only be seen by children, meaning that Link can interact with them throughout the adventure. Early on in the game, Link meets up with [[Ezlo]], a transfigured Minish who joins Link as his iconic cap and giving tips along the way. Using Ezlo's mystical powers, Link is able to shrink down at various portals throughout [[Hyrule]] and enter the small world of the Minish, solving puzzles and entering dungeons that were previously inaccessible.

One of the game's primary goals is to gather the four [[Elements (The Minish Cap)|Elements]] in order to restore power to the [[Four Sword]], allowing Link to progressively split into mirror images of himself in order to battle enemies and solve puzzles. That, along with the final boss, reveals that this game is the prequel to the Four Swords games, setting the stage for those adventures.

Many of the sounds, including Link's voice, were taken from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', though the game resembles ''The Wind Waker'' more.

While being only released for the Game Boy Advance for nearly seven years, ''The Minish Cap'' was released on the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS Virtual Console]] as a part of the exclusive ten Game Boy Advance games for the Ambassador program. Three years after the re-release, ''The Minish Cap'' was released on the [[Nintendo Wii U|Wii U]] [[Virtual Console]], being the first time non-Ambassadors can play it other than its initial release.

This game follows the young Link who sets out on a quest to save [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] from the evil Wind Mage [[Vaati]], who also causes trouble for the rest of Hyrule. To Link's aid comes the small Picori and a strange talking cap named Ezlo, who grants Link the ability to turn into the size of a Picori and hopped on his head like a hat.

*In the European version of The Minish Cap, the Mineral Water found on [[Mt. Crenel]] is called the Hot Spring Water.
