Legend Of Zelda, The: The Minish Cap - Strategy Guide (Page 08)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Legend Of Zelda, The: The Minish Cap - Strategy Guide (Page 08).

First, you need to fuse with the farmer Eenie. He is located in the 
Eastern Hills, just under Lon Lon Ranch. One you fuse with him, the 
first Goron will become magically strong and break through the first 
door in the cave.

From there, you must fuse with the five Mysterious Walls. For each 
mysterious wall you fuse with, a new Goron will appear in the cave at 
Lon Lon Ranch. Their locations are as follows:

-> Eenie's Farm. (It will be right near you! Fuse with the wall in the 
cave. The Mysterious Walls as you will find often are hiding behind 
some stone, so you'll have to dig them out.)

-> Lake Hylia. (I believe you will need the Roc's Cape for this. I'm 
not entirely sure. Jump from island to island, going north, until you 
reach the strange door that you can dig open.)

-> Minish Woods. (Located just near Syrup's Hut. You will find a 
strange looking door just near the stairs that lead to the path to her 
house.)

-> Trilby Highlands. (Located on the far west side of the Highlands 
across a bridge that leads north. This bridge is a bit hard to miss, as 
it is in an intersection between the bridge west to Crenel.)

-> Mount Crenel. (On Crenel Wall, next to the Hermit's house.)

Once all the Gorons have come to aid the original Goron (Making six 
Gorons total), you will be able to fuse with the sixth goron (all the 
way to the rightmost side) to wake up Biggoron, who lives up on Veil 
Springs. There is no possible way you can miss Biggoron, because he is 
so huge! Anyways, if you go and talk to him (After beating Vaati, of 
course!) he will ask to eat your sheild.

Give him your Shield. Now, you have to be extrememly patient and 
willing to be Shieldless for quite a while. Warp around to a few 
places, sped some time killing enemies, and then go back to Biggoron. 
He will give you back your Sheild, but it will be slightly mutilated. 
Of course, this is exactly what you want... your old Shield is now the 
Mirror Shield!

Q: What about the sword trainers? I can't find them, or I need x number 
of Tiger Scrolls!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A: Thanks to Talontwelve, I can now tell you all where the trainers are 
located! I'm not to keep about the names just yet, but I am off to find 
them myself and confirm all of this information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The trainers can be found in the following locations:

Swiftblade - Required to meet him. He is located in the southwest 
corner of Hyrule Town, near the southern entrance. He lives in a log 
cabin, which is hard to miss among all the other houses.

Greyblade - On the Eastern side of the mountain, go up four of the rock 
walls that need the Grip ring. There should be a door reminiscient of a 
mine shaft there. Enter the cave, use the White Sword (Two Elements) to 
press the switches, then go into the north room and talk to the 
instructor.

Waveblade - In Lake Hylia, swim to the west of Mayor Hagen's cabin 
until you reach a dock that goes north. There will be a tree with an 
open door to its inside. Enter the tree and talk to Waveblade.

Grimblade - In Hyrule Castle Garden, move towards the far right corner 
of the area to find, in the bottom right corner, a patch of bushes. Cut 
the bushes to reveal a ladder that leads underground. This ladder leads 
to Grimblade.

Swiftblade the First - In the Castor Wilds, there is a large tombstone 
located just above the statues you fused with to enter the Wind Ruins. 
Push the tombstone to the north to reveal a staircase that leads to 
Swiftblade the First's dojo.

Scarblade - Fuse kinstones with Greyblade in Mount Crenel to open a 
waterfall in the northeast corner of the Castor Wilds. Enter the 
waterfall to find Scarblade.

Greatblade - Fuse kinstones with Waveblade in Lake Hylia to open a  
waterfall in North Hyrule Feild. Enter the waterfall to find 
Greatblade.

Splitblade - Fuse kinstones with Grimblade in Hyrule Castle Garden to 
open a waterfall in the southern area of Veil Falls. Enter the 
waterfall to find Scarblade.

Q: How do I get the Light Arrows?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A: I've got just the answer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: THIS MUST BE DONE BEFORE GETTING TO THE WIND TRIBE'S TOWER. If 
you have passed that point in the game, don't even try to get the light 
arrows.

Early in the game, go to northwest Hyrule Town, just near the entrance 
to the Trilby Highlands, to find a yellow house. Inside this house will 
reside a man... fuse with him. He is Stranger. Upon fusing with him, a 
warp will open in South Hyrule Field, just above Link's house.

This warp will lead you to a house. You'll come back here later in the 
game. In the house, you will find a man in bed, with a ghost haunting 
him. Get out your Gust jar and power it up, and rid the man of the 
ghost.

When you reach the house later on in the game, the man will give you 
Light Arrows as a reqard for relieving him.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Are there any other bottles? Some of my slots are still empty...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A: There are four empty bottles total in The Minish Cap, one of which 
is mandatory to recieve. The other three you must get yourself.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no specific order to getting these bottles, save Bottle 1. 
They can be gotten in any order you like.

Bottle 1: You'll buy this from a Deku Scrub in a cave in Trilby 
Highlands. You MUST buy this bottle to move forward in the game.

Bottle 2: Fuse with Link's grandfather, Smith, who resides in Link's 
house in South Hyrule Field. A chest will appear in Eastern Hills just 
below Eenie and Meenie's farm that contains the second bottle.

Bottle 3: Shrink Link down to Minish size and enter Stockwell's shop in 
southern Hyrule Town from the back. Use the vase in his shop to return 
to normal size, and he'll wonder who is there. When he notices you, you 
will automatically be assumed to want the bottle just behind you. 
However, the bottle is filled with dog food.

Deliver the dog food to Stockwell's dog in his house at Lake Hylia, and 
the empty bottle that remains shall be yours.

Bottle 4: Complete the Goron Quest, which is described above. After 
fusing with all the walls and Eenie, enter the Goron's cave, and 
continue going further back into the cave until you pass the six gorons 
and find a large chest. Inside the chest will be the final bottle.



If other questions arrise that are commonly asked, they will be added 
to this FAQ. Thank you, and happy playing!
