Story

At the start of the game - Link is tasked with delivering a sword to Hyrule Castle to be given to Vaati who won a sword-fighting tournament. Vaati is the antagonist and turns Princess Zelda into stone during the sword presentation ceremony. Vaati - a Minish - is the same race as Ezlo, who created the magical cap that allowed Vaati to gain his powers. Link finds Ezlo who is being attacked by Octoroks. After defeating the Octoroks, Ezlo teams up with Link in order to defeat Vaati. Ezlo gives Link the ability to shrink down to Minish-size using certain pots and tree stumps.

Gameplay

The Minish Cap plays similiar to the other handheld-games. The player is given a sword and shield very early in the game.
