Gather ’round, fellow adventurers! Today, we embark on a grand quest within the mystical realm of “The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap.” But first, we must prepare ourselves for the challenges ahead. To reach the Fortress of Winds, we’ll need the powerful Pegasus Boots, which can be found in the bustling Hyrule Castle Town. These boots will allow us to navigate the treacherous Castor Wilds and uncover the secrets that lie within.
Ah, the Fortress of Winds. A daunting structure that holds the key to obtaining the third element. But fear not, my intrepid gamers, for I shall guide you through its perilous depths. This walkthrough will be your steadfast companion as we conquer the challenges that await us.
First, let’s talk about obtaining the Compass. As you enter the dungeon, you’ll encounter four enticing doorways. Choose the leftmost one and ascend the stairs cautiously. Mind the gap in the floor, as it leads to a swift descent. Venture north and eliminate the pesky flying skulls that stand in your path. Equip your trusty bow and shoot the eye pattern on the wall to reveal a hidden door. Enter, and be ready to face the onslaught of jumping skeletons. Once they’ve been dispatched, continue through the door leading down. Beware the Like Like disguised as a Rupee. Dispatch it and claim your spoils. Ascend the ladder to a new area, where you must solve a clever puzzle involving glowing squares and animated statues. Defeat the statues and claim your well-deserved reward—the compass!
Now, let’s move on to acquiring the Dungeon Map. Return to the room with moving platforms and eyes on the walls. Unlock the door to the right by expertly shooting arrows into the eyes. In this next room, you’ll encounter a set of glowing squares. Use them to create a clone and maneuver a large block to access the other side of the room. Push another block to the left and summon yet another clone to continue pushing the first block upward. Pull the lever, and a key will descend to the bottom floor. Plunge into the depths to retrieve it. Return to the first room, where the four doorways beckon. Choose the door to the right of the leftmost one and ascend the stairs, clearing the path of any statues that dare impede your progress. Open the grand chest that awaits you, and lo and behold—the dungeon map shall be yours. Two locked doors stand at the northmost edge of this room, but alas, you only possess one small key. Choose the right door, my adventurous comrades.
Now, let’s delve into the art of acquiring more small keys. Prepare yourself for a perplexing puzzle that will test your intellect. Move two statues onto specific switches, charge your sword attack on the glowing platform, and release it when standing on the bottom glowing panel. With utmost care, navigate downward while preserving your clone’s existence. Step on both switches, and witness the magic—a second small key shall materialize before your eyes. Utilize this key to unlock the door on the south side of the room. Dispatch the formidable hand enemies that await you and take a leap of faith to return to the area where you initially unlocked the right door. Other paths may tempt you, but alas, rock walls stand in your way. Descend to the starting area once more, and this time, choose the doorway to the left of the rightmost one. Ascend the stairs, beware of skeletons and sparking balls, and pull the lever on the left side of the room. An entrance shall be revealed. Ascend, destroy the statue on the glowing platform, and charge a spin attack while standing on the rightmost glowing square. Through the door you go! Utilize the shrinking pedestal and navigate through obstacles to reach a room adorned with both rolling spike pins and glowing pedestals. Marvel at your own dexterity as you skillfully maneuver toward the switches. Puzzle solved! A second small key shall be bestowed upon you.

But wait! There’s more! Enter the room with the two locked doors once more, and employ your small key to open the left door this time. Step onto the moving platform, deftly dodging the blocks that threaten to impede your progress. Onward we go!
Ah, the time has come to acquire the fabled Mole Mitts. In the next room, dispatch the eyes on the wall, all while staying vigilant for any suspicious shadows on the ground. Another hand enemy shall descend, attempting to grasp you in its clutches. Fear not, for you are mighty! In the subsequent room, prepare for an intense battle with a Darknut. Stun him with bombs and unleash your sword upon him. Repeat this dance thrice to claim victory. A teleportation pad shall appear, beckoning you with promises of an easy return, but resist its allure for now. Venture south into the next room and cautiously make your way to the switch on the right side. Engage the switch and proceed through the southern door. Between two skulls lies a secret room. Uncover its treasures, and the coveted Mole Mitts shall be yours! With these wondrous gloves, you can now tunnel through even the most stubborn rock walls. Equip them, press the assigned button, and watch as the barriers crumble before your might. Oh, and don’t forget to seize the small chest in this room—it holds a treasure trove of 100 Rupees!
Onward we march, for the grand prize awaits us—the Big Key! With the Mole Mitts in hand, countless secrets shall be unveiled. Return to the room with the once-inaccessible doors and venture south. Ascend the ladder and put your newfound abilities to use—dig a tunnel toward the doorway. Push the block in the upper right corner to the right, and witness the appearance of yet another teleportation pad. Ah, the door to the boss beckons, but alas, the Big Key eludes us. However, fear not, for we can now teleport back to this very spot from the entrance.
Now, my valiant warriors, it’s time to visit the room with the shrinking pedestal that appeared after our triumph over the hand enemies. Shrink down and proceed south, toward the door guarded by menacing rolling pins. Seek out a small hole and venture inside to discover yet another shrinking pedestal. Return to normal size and step on the switch—behold! A key falls into one of the holes. Dig your way to it, but beware the electrified enemies that lurk. Depart this room and take a leap of faith to find yet another shrinking pedestal.
Journey south into a room seemingly encased in rock walls, preventing further exploration. Fear not, for with your trusty Mole Mitts, you shall prevail. Tunnel southward, toward a ladder that leads to a locked door. Unleash the power of a small key to unlock this door. With triumph in your heart, leap into the hole on the right to discover a chest holding the illustrious Big Key. Return to the entrance and utilize the red portal to teleport directly to the door that leads to the boss.
Prepare yourselves, brave adventurers, for the final challenge! Mazaal awaits, a fearsome foe with eyes on his very hands. Shoot these eyes to stun and disable his powerful appendages. While attacking one hand, beware the other as it attempts to slam you and snatch you away. Once both hands have been vanquished, shrink down and venture into the boss’s head. Seek out a pillar adorned with eyes and strike it with all your might. As you exit the head, return to your normal size and disable the hands once more. Inside the boss’s head, rock walls obstruct your path to the pillars. Fear not, for you are resourceful. Dig a hole and discover the pillar with eyes. Disable the hands once more, taking care to dodge the boss’s laser beam. Destroy the third pillar, and victory shall be yours! Claim the Heart Container as your reward and proceed to the next room. Examine the pillar, for it hides a precious treasure—the Ocarina of Wind.
But wait, dear adventurers, for our journey is not yet over. Part 7 of this thrilling walkthrough shall soon be unveiled, so stay tuned for more excitement. “The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap” beckons you to embark on this grand adventure, available now on Game Boy Advance, Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, and the Wii U Virtual Console.
