The Legend of the Picori Long, long ago, evil spirits descended on the land of Hyrule. Just when it seemed that the world was to be cast into the darkest of shadows, the tiny Picori appeared from the skies and bestowed on a courageous human a shining golden light and a single sword. This bravest of men used his wisdom and courage, his golden light, and his sword to fight off the demons and restore peace to the world. The people were so grateful for the s Picoris help that they held an annual celebration in their honor. The tradition of the Picori Festival continued, but over the generations, the Picori themselves passed into legend.

The legend of the Picori tells of a mystic doorway that opens just once every hundred years. When the door is open, the Picori can cross from their world into Hyrule. This year is that year in one hundred, and the festival is unusually grand. Hyrule Castle is hosting a tournament of sword-fighting skill, recalling the great battles of legend. This years champion is a man by the of year s name of Vaati. He has won the tournament with an almost magical ease, and all of Hyrule is abuzz with rumors about this shadowy figure. Who is this Who Vaati? they ask. What has brought him to Hyrule? What Hyrule?

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap Cheats and Unlockables (GameBoy Advance)
The green tunic hero returns!
After playing many months of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, it's time to return to the classics and play the previous installments of the seemingly never-ending Zelda saga. Our feathered-cap hero, Link, will have to save Princess Zelda for the zillionth time. This time she's been turned to stone by the evil Vaati and the only one that can cure her is the King of Hyrule, provided that he hands over the Golden Power to the villain. This is not just another 2D game, as our blond hero will be accompanied by a very sidekick, called Ezlo and he'll have to learn tons of abilities that will be used sadly through a lot of button mashing. It's still a GameBoy so you'd better take advantage of a Legend of Zelda game that reminds me of the original installments (oh, the youth). For the true Zelda fans, it would be a real pity to get stuck in such a gorgeous game so we provide you out best tips and tricks: UnlockablesBomb Bag UpgradesThere are three Bomb Bag upgrades (two in the European version), and here are their locations:Bomb Bag 1 - On Crenel Wall, bomb the cracked wall, then throw a bomb in the fountain. Answer "neither" to the fairy's question. Bomb Bag 2 (Not in European Version) - After buying the boomerang, buy the bomb bag for 600 rupees at Stockwell's. Bottle LocationsThese are the locations and ways to get the bottles.1.Trilby Highlands - Buy it from the Deku in the cave in Trilby Highlands. 2.Hyrule Town - Shrink and enter the shop from Mama's Cafe. Grow, take the bottle, and the guy will tell you to feed his dog. Go to Lake Hylia, and feed the dog in house 3. Eastern Hills - Finish the Goron sidequest. Extended Great Spin AttackYou need all 8 Tiger Scrolls and the flippers. When you fuse kinstone with the swordsman trainer in Mt. Crenel it will open a waterfall passage in Castor Wilds. And when you fuse kinstones with the trainer in Lake Hylia it will open another waterfall passage in North Hyrule field. In both passages talk to the swordsman trainers there.Great Spin Attack Upgrade #1 - Fuse kinstones with Swordsman Trainer in Mt. Crenel. Great Spin Attack Upgrade #2 - Fuse kinstones with Swordsman Trainer in Lake Hylia. Extra GoodiesHere is how to unlock some extra goodies.Golden Tingle Statue - Complete all Kinfusions, then talk to Tingle. Sound Test After Getting all 130 Original Figurines, talk to the guy sitting outside at the table. Get Remote BombsTo get the remote bombs, go back to Minish Village. Talk to the elder, then Kinfuse with him. Then, exit town via the northwest exit. Enter the house with the Picori that gave you the bombs. He should give you the remote bombs. Lay a bomb down, then press that button again to detonate it whenever you'd like.Note: Talking to the Picori again while cause you to get the normal bombs again.Get the Mirror Shield.This shield upgrade can deflect more types of projectiles than the regular shield, and it's a lot larger. To get it, you must have beaten the game and saved, and completed the Goron sidequest (the one that gets you the bottle). Fuse with the Goron all the way on the right in the cave where you got the bottle; this will make Biggoron appear on top of Veil Falls, near the whirlwind which takes you to the Cloud Tops. Make sure you have a shield with you, and go talk to him. He will ask if he can eat your shield. Let him. Don't buy another shield, but come back a while later, talk to him, and he will give you the Mirror Shield. Here's how to beat the boss from the Cavern of Fire level:Magic BoomerangIn order to get the Magic Boomerang, first fuse with the Tingle Siblings, which reside in South Hyrule Field, Lake Hylia, Royal Valley and Lon Lon Ranch. They will each open up a tree in North Hyrule Field. There, you may find various things and a switch. Hit all four switches to open up the middle ladder. Inside is the Magic Boomerang.Quiver UpgradesThere are a total of 3 quiver upgrades, and here are their locations:Quiver 1 - Buy for 600 rupees at Stockwell's, after beating the Fortress of

Winds. Quiver 2 - In Royal Valley, answer the Great Dragonfly Fairy's questions correctly. Quiver 3 - Kinfuse with a Minish near the beginning of Wind Ruins then find the quiver. Special Sword TechniquesDuring certain points in the game, you will come across hidden Sword Dojos who will teach you a Special Sword Technique. But they will only teach you the Technique after you have a certain Item or have completed a certain task. Below is the location of the Sword Dojo and the Requirement to learn the Technique.The Dash Attack Visit Swiftblade in Hyrule Town after getting the Pegasus Boots The Down Thrust - Visit Swiftblade in Hyrule Town after getting Roc's Cape The Great Spin Attack - Visit the Ghost of Swiftblade in Castor Wilds after collecting all of the Seven Tiger Scrolls The Peril Beam Visit Waveblade in Lake Hylia after getting the Flippers The Rock Breaker - Visit Swiftblade in Hyrule Town after you have received the White Sword The Roll Attack - Visit Greyblade on Mount Crenel after fusing the Earth and Fire Elements with your Sword The Spin Attack Visit Swiftblade in Hyrule Town after completing the Deepwood Shrine The Sword Beam Visit Grimblade in Hyrule Castle after getting the Flame Lantern Swordsman newsletter When you fuse kinstones with the postman running everywhere in Hyrule Town, a girl will go into the post office next to the stamping guy. You can buy the swordsman newsletter for a huge price. Each issue contains tips to get around the secret areas of Hyrule.The Three Goddess' charmsGo to the Inn and go where the three girls are. Go up to Farore and fuse kinstones with her. It should show the guy named "Gorman" going up to the locked house, saying he wants to rent it out. Go talk to him, and decide witch Goddess you want to give you a charm. Whatever one, go talk to her, and she goes to live in the house. Go talk to her in there, and she gives you a charm for your empty bottle.UnlockablesCarlov Medal Collect all 136 figurines Open Locked Hyrule House - Collect 130 original figurines Wallet UpgradesThere are three wallet upgrades, and here are their locations:Wallet 1 - Buy at Stockwell's for 80 rupees. Wallet 2 - Kinfuse with Mayor Hagen then go and find the Wallet in Lon Lon Ranch. Wallet 3 - After infusing your blade with two elements, jump up a ledge in Eastern Hills with the cane of Pacci to find a fairy that gives you the Wallet. GlitchesBook falls earlyWhen returning the library books and you go to the scholar's house, talk to him then leave. Go back in and talk to him. He will say a book had fallen, but you have not made it fall yet.SecretsDark Nut KillingAn easy way to kill a dark nut is to use the Dash Attack. If you use it, you will run right "through" him, and he will be confused for a while. Then, do it the other way to deal 2 hits on him!Get FairiesIf you see a normal solitary tree, run into it and a fairy will come out.Sound testTo get the sound test, get all 136 figurines.
