History Characters / TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap

* StrongFamilyResemblance: His ancestor Ki ng Gustaf looks a lot like him.

The grandson of the local blacksmith, and a close friend of Princess Zelda. After Zelda was [[TakenForGranite turned to stone]] and the Picori Blade broken, Link is sent to find the Minish, tiny inhabitants of Hyrule, to have the blade reforged and turn Zelda back to normal. This is because only children can even see the Minish.

* {{Sizeshifter}}: He becomes this thanks to Ezlo.

!!!'''AKA: Ezelo (Japanese, German), Exelo (French), Egeyo (Italian), Ezero (Spanish)'''

A talking green hat who serves as Link's companion, guiding him in his quest and helping him access the [[MouseWorld world of the Minish.]] [[spoiler:Eventually reveals himself to be a Minish and Vaati's former teacher.]]

!!!'''AKA:''' Gufuu ("The Tornado") (Japanese)

%%* {{Bishonen}}: His human form.

* {{Foil}}: To Link. Both are young adventurers with a connection to Ezlo, but the similarities end there. Link is selfless and compassionate, while Vaati is narcissistic and self-serving. Link relies on his sword and other weapons, while Vaati gained his magic from the Minish Cap. Link forms an equal partnership with Ezlo, [[spoiler:while Vaati was willing to backstab and curse him as soon as he got the Minish Cap]]. Moreover, while Link is a human who can shrink to the size of a Minish thanks to Ezlo, [[spoiler:Vaati is a Minish who gained a human body out a twisted admiration for humanity]]. In the manga, Link concludes that while he earned all of his power, Vaati did nothing but steal it from others.

* IntriguedByHumanity: [[spoiler:Like all Minish, he was [[HumansAreSpecial fascinated by humans]], but was more interested in the evil in men's hearts.]]

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Every one of his forms has blood red eye(s).

* YouWillNotEvadeMe: [[spoiler:Prevents Link from escaping him with Zelda to the Elemental Sanctuary in a last-ditch attempt to kill the boy.]]

* GenderBender: Implied by the Spanish version's DubNameChange. This would make Potho the first and only version of [[LegacyCharacter Impa]] to be male.

A Forest Minish guarding the path to the Deepwood shrine. Is the only Forest Minish to speak Hylian.

* PunnyName: Named Librari and lives in a library

* FrictionlessIce: It can briefly freeze the damp floor solid.

* InNameOnly: Despite the name, the Gyorg Pair bears little resemblance to Gyorg from ''Majora's Mask''. The latter is a spiky fish with big, sharp teeth and horns that lives on water, while the latter are depicted as flying manta-like rays.

!!!'''AKA: Piccor (Japanese), Gnomi (Italian, variant)'''

[[folder:Melari]]
!!Melari
Melari is the elder of the Mountain Minish who live on Mount Crenel and is a revered Minish blacksmith.

* UltimateBlacksmith: He reforges the Broken Picori blade into the White Sword, allowing it to be restored to full power.

* DegradedBoss: Subverted. A Big Blue Chu Chu serves as the MiniBoss of the Temple of Droplets, but that one is actually significantly tougher than Green.

[[folder:Gleerok]]
!!Gleerok
!!!'''Other names:''' Gleerock (Japanese), Gleeok (French, Italian, Spanish), Glirock (German)

* PivotalBoss: Link can circle around the LavaPit where Gleerok resides, and Gleerok will follow him with its head in any direction.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the manga version, Link manages to purify it, revealing its true form to resemble that of [[{{Franchise/Pokemon}} Lapras]].
* TacticalSuicideBoss: Even if Link upturns its shell to briefly knock it out, there's no way for him to actually hit Gleerok's weakspot, until the unconcscious creature extends its long neck as a bridge to be crossed. Also, it can actually submerge the arena in lava, yet there's still room at the sides wide enough for Link to stay safe before the lava recedes.

* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Defeating Mazaal doesn't actually reward the Wind Element. The Wind Tribe took the element with them.

* LogicalWeakness: Big Octorok's weak spot is a plant growing out of its back. Lighting it on fire is the way.

!!The Minish/ Picori
!!!'''AKA: Piccor (Japanese), Gnomi (Italian, variant)'''
[[quoteright:245:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/forest_minish.png]]
[[caption-width-right:245:A Forest Minish.]]

A race of tiny elf-like creatures that can only be seen by children. Known to the human world as the Picori, they delight in helping out humans in sneaky ways, such as hiding money and items under bushes and giving them help with their chores whilst they're not looking.

* BigDamnHeroes: The world was suddenly overrun and virtually consumed by demonic monsters. They intervened and saved mankind by bestowing gifts and weapons upon the 'Hero of Men' to drive them back [[SealedEvilInACan and seal them away in a chest]].
* {{Expy}}: In addition to the obvious ShoutOut to fairy tales such as the ''Literature/TheElvesAndTheCobbler'', the Town Minish, their roles and how they dress-up and get about from house-to-house undetected is uncannily similar to the "Tailor of Gloucester" story from ''WesternAnimation/TheWorldOfPeterRabbitAndFriends'', it comes full-circle as said story is ''paying homage'' to the classic tale as well.
* FriendToAllChildren: Its said they only reveal themselves to well behaved children, though in truth, humans barely register their existences, yet they adore Hylians of all ages.
* ForHappiness: The Minish '''love''' humans. They first started sending gifts from across time-and-space. Then many of them traveled from their native parallel dimension and settled in Hyrule. And some of them decided that wasn't enough, and moved right in with people in their homes.
* GodWasMyCopilot: According to the game, ''they are the reason'' why the incarnations of Link in all the games find random pick-ups and money in grass and under stones.
* HiddenInPlainSight: The little invisible mouse-elves are everywhere. Ezlo tells Link to watch what he says and does whenever he thinks he's alone as a Minish could be watching. Their mystical nature can work against them however, such as in the case of one who wants to become Mutoh the carpenter's apprentice, but the man fails to notice them.
* HouseFey: The Town Minish. They live in cozy mouse holes inside people's homes, and secretly help them with their chores.
* JackOfAllTrades: Minish engage in all trades, from treasure collecting to shopkeeping.
* {{Lilliputians}}: They're mouse-sized sentient beings.
* MouseWorld: Some even make their homes in hollowed-out books in libraries.
* OurAncestorsAreSuperheroes: In addition to aiding The Hero of Men, the ancestors of the Minish were far more [[StrongAndSkilled well versed]] in ways of magic and crafting than their peace-time descendants. They built various portals to allow humans to visit them ([[{{Muggles}} most people can't use them]]) and constructed the mechanical Armos to protect people. Much of it is [[LostTechnology rusting around forgotten]] nowadays.
* PokemonSpeak: Their normal language is made up of parts of the word "Picori". Averted in the Japanese, German, Italian and French version, where they instead talk backwards.
* ThePowerOfLove: The Minish reveal they delight in secretly [[ForHappiness making humans happy]], as it gives them energy needed to do more acts of kindness, and so on.
* WeHelpTheHelpless: An altruistic race that devotes every waking moment to watching and studying humans so they can make their lives better, though it [[UnwantedAssistance sometimes backfires]].

** For villains, on the other hand, he's one to the series's most iconic villain, and his chronological successor as a threat to Hyrule, Ganondorf — Vaati is a slim {{Bishonen}} that works alone, whereas Ganondorf is a muscular BlackKnight who uses a variety of monsters at his disposal. Vaati used brute force and in his EstablishingCharacterMoment made it clear to everyone that he was evil, [[spoiler:and relied on mind control to make others do his bidding]]; Ganondorf, on the other hand, presented himself as an ambassador of the Gerudo, worming his way into the King's confidence until he was in the most optimal position to act. Vaati admires humans and even took on the form of one, whereas Ganondorf envies them for their land. Lastly, Vaati [[spoiler:started as a lowly apprentice of a Minish sorceror who lived in a green forest located closest to the first dungeon]], whereas Ganondorf started off as the king of the desert-dwelling Gerudo, who are located closest to the second-to-last dungeon[[note]]assuming the player tackles the Shadow Temple first, given that they need the Hover Boots to complete the Spirit Temple[[/note]].

* DegradedBoss: Subverted. Another Big Chu Chu serves as the MiniBoss of the Temple of Droplets, but that one is actually significantly tougher than Green.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the manga version, Link manages to purify it, revealing its true form to resemble that of [[Franchise/Pokemon Lapras]].

* RasputinianDeath: One of the most awesome boss battles in Game Boy history. After gaining possession of Zelda and draining the light force from her body, Vaati grows several hands taller, gains a darker wardrobe, and you have to fight this NightmareFuel boss not once, but ''three'' times before he's finally over. Of course, it's not a ''death,'' per se, given that two games with him in them occur [[[[SavedByCanon later in the timeline.]]

* GadgeteerGenius: [[spoiler:Even amongst Minish craftsman, his works were renowned for being the greatest.]]

!!!'''AKA: Gufuu ("The Tornado") (Japanese)

* BadassBookworm: He gained all of his knowledge about the legendary Picori Blade and Princess Zelda's Light Force from reading. In addition, he studied sorcery (though a lot of help came from that hat perched atop his head) and the psychology of evil inside of the hearts of men. He is a ''very'' physical villain too -- when there is something to be done, he often does it himself.

* DeceptiveDisciple: He [[spoiler:studied the darker side of human nature behind Ezlo's back, became corrupted by all that he learned, and then betrayed Ezlo for his own goals.]]

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: A terrific introductory scene for Vaati; in less than two minutes he utterly owns four armed guards and shatters the Picori Blade. From thence, he sets the evil monsters inside the Bound Chest free, leading to a direct confrontation with Princess Zelda. [[TakenForGranite Vaati turns her to stone, managing to incapacitate Link as well.]] He does all this while gloating about his success.

* {{Foil}}: To Link. Both are young adventurers with a connection to Ezlo, but the similarities end there. Link is selfless and compassionate, while Vaati is narcissistic and self-serving. Link relies on his sword and other weapons, while Vaati gained his magic from the Minish Cap. Link forms an equal partnership with Ezlo, [[spoiler: while Vaati was willing to backstab and curse him as soon as he got the Minish Cap]].

Vaati admires humans and even took on the form of one, whereas Ganondorf envies them for their land.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: An oddly realistic version. In-universe, he becomes a threat [[spoiler:the minute he curses Ezlo and steals Ezlo's wish-granting cap.]]
* GodhoodSeeker: His goal, by obtaining the Light Force. [[spoiler:He partially succeeds no matter what you do, and fully succeeds if you take too long in the final dungeon]].
* HumansAreBastards: His twisted beliefs on humanity drives him, since he believes in this and also that [[spoiler: HumansAreSpecial. He was fascinated by the evil humans were able to commit in the name of pursuing their goals, to the point of abandoning his Minish form. The manga specifically shows him observing one man bullying another as he decides that only the strong ever get what they want.]]

* OneWingedAngel: Has ''[[http://zeldawiki.org/Vaati#Vaati.27s_Five_Forms four]]'', not including [[spoiler:his initial minish form]], although only his three demonic forms are fought.
* RasputinianDeath: One of the most awesome boss battles in Gameboy history. After gaining possession of Zelda and draining the light force from her body, Vaati grows several hands taller, gains a darker wardrobe, and you have to fight this NightmareFuel boss not once, but ''three'' times before he's finally over.
