Don't miss out on collecting all the figurines in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap! You'll need them for a special reward. Learn where to find them and how to get them all.

Alright, so we're back to those pesky figurines and shells. You absolutely *need* to collect them all if you want that final Piece of Heart, so don't skip this part! We'll circle back to it properly later, but for now, let's focus on continuing our main quest.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, make your way back to Hyrule Castle Garden. Just go through it like you did before, heading straight for the castle entrance.
  2. 2
    Once inside, proceed through to the Elemental Sanctuary. This is where the magic happens!
  3. 3
    Place the sword into the pedestal to forge the final element. This is a HUGE moment – your White Sword will transform into the legendary Four Sword! This means you can now create three clones of yourself, giving you a total of four Links to command.
  4. 4
    When you charge and swing the Four Sword, it unleashes a powerful beam that will shatter the tablet in front of you. This causes a dark doorway to appear on the wall. Now, if you charge and perform a Spin Attack, you can shoot a beam that breaks people's curses – super handy!
  5. 5
    You'll need to exit the sanctuary through the top; the bottom path is blocked for now. Head up and inspect the stained glass window. You'll get a recap of the game's opening sequences.
  6. 6
    Suddenly, you'll hear Vaati's voice. It turns out he was disguised as the king the whole time, and he's been waiting for you to reforge the sword. He gloats about how you kindly brought him his magic cap and delivered him here, but he doesn't need you anymore. The king-disguise then explodes or disappears, revealing the real Vaati.
  7. 7
    Vaati blasts Link with a magic ball, knocking him out. He then makes his escape to go after the Light Force (which you might remember is inside Princess Zelda), leaving an unconscious Link behind.
  8. 8
    Ezlo will eventually wake Link up. He explains that Vaati tricked you, posing as the king and waiting for you to reforge the sword.
  9. 9
    Now, with the immediate threat revealed, it's time to find Vaati.
  10. 10
    Exit the Elemental Sanctuary. You'll find that Hyrule Castle has completely changed – welcome to Dark Hyrule Castle! Looks like we've got one more dungeon to tackle.
  11. 11
    Head down into the castle and start freeing the people who have been turned to stone. You'll learn that Vaati has taken the Princess to the roof. Just great, right?
  12. 12
    After freeing the townsfolk, head back into the castle proper. Your map will show 5 floors. It's a lot, but we can handle it!
Tips
  • Don't forget to keep an eye out for those remaining shells and figurines. The sooner you get them all, the sooner you can snag that Piece of Heart!
  • The Four Sword's beam attack is incredibly useful for clearing out groups of enemies or hitting distant switches. Experiment with it!
  • The Four Sword (enables the Four-Link technique)
  • Access to Dark Hyrule Castle (the final dungeon)
  • A recap of the story so far
