Skill Upgrade #3 - Faster Cloning

Learn how to unlock the Faster Cloning skill in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap by fusing with Grimblade and finding Splitblade. Details on location and timing.

Hey there! Ready to unlock a super cool ability that lets you duplicate yourself? This is Skill Upgrade #3, all about Faster Cloning. It's a neat trick that can really help you out in certain situations.

How to Learn:

• First, make sure you've collected all 8 of the game's scrolls.
• Next, you'll need to perform a fusion with Grimblade.
• After that, you'll need to find Splitblade.
• The actual learning happens in either the Hyrule Castle Garden or Veil Falls.

What it Does:

This skill is tied to your sword. Specifically, it's an upgrade to the White Sword. When your sword is infused with Earth and Fire elements, you can start cloning yourself. The more elements you infuse into your sword, the more clones you can create! Here's the breakdown:

• White Sword (Infused w/ Earth + Fire): Allows you to create one clone.
• White Sword (Infused w/ Earth + Fire + Water): Allows you to create two clones.
• Four Sword (Infused w/ ALL elements: Earth, Fire, Water, Wind): Allows you to create three clones.

How to Clone:

To actually use the cloning ability, you'll need to be on a special flashing tile. Here’s how it works:

1. Equip your infused sword.
2. Perform a Charge Spin Attack.
3. While holding the charge, step onto a flashing tile.
4. Without releasing the charge, move to another flashing tile.
5. A clone will appear!

It's a pretty neat trick that can open up new possibilities for puzzles or combat. Keep practicing that charge attack and you'll be cloning like a pro in no time!
