The Legend Of Zelda: The Minish Cap Cheat Codes for Game Boy Advance (GBA)

The Legend of Zelda is one of those special franchises that not only stands the test of time but also produces great home console and handheld entries. The Minish Cap is the twelfth release in the franchise and it fits comfortably amongst the many great games that came before and after it. This title is a prequel to another great Zelda entry, Four Swords, and the game did well both critically and commercially.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap Premise

Similar to the other handheld Zelda titles, The Minish Cap requires the player to use a top-down view to explore the overworld. Every Zelda game usually has a gimmick of some kind, and Minish Cap gives players a new way to explore by allowing Link to shrink down to see the world from a new perspective. Mechanics from other games in the franchise return with this title while also introducing new things to the formula. Items such as the Mole Mitts allow you to dig through walls and the Cane of Pacci flips objects upside-down. Many fans will have fun using these items to help progress through the game as The Minish Cap is a treat for fans and newcomers alike.

• Business Scrubs: Recurring characters found in many titles in this series.
• Ezlo: Link’s main companion in The Minish Cap.
• Forest Picori: A character who lives in the Minish Woods.

• Princess Zelda: The secondary protagonist and recurring character of the franchise.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap Cheats

Unlockables

Bomb Bag Upgrades

There are three Bomb Bag upgrades (two in the European version), and here are their locations:

 Bottle Locations

These are the locations and ways to get the bottles.

Extended Great Spin Attack

For this, you 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. When you fuse kinstones with the trainer in Lake Hylia it will open another waterfall passage in the North Hyrule field. In both passages talk to the swordsman trainers there.

Extra Goodies

Here is how to unlock some extra goodies.

Get Remote Bombs

To 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 will 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.

Magic Boomerang

In 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 Upgrades

There are a total of 3 quiver upgrades, and here are their locations:

Special Sword Techniques

During 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

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.

More Unlockables

Wallet Upgrades

There are three wallet upgrades, and here are their locations:

Secrets

The Three Goddess’ charms

Go 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 which 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.

Extra defense and/or offense

When you get to a certain part in the game after the Wind Ruins, a man named Gustaf will enter Hyrule Town. At the bottom of the map, there is a house with a blue roof. This is where Gustaf will be found. He will be standing in front of the door and will say something about renting his house. After talking to him, go to the Inn on the right that just opened after the Wind Ruins. In the back will be three girls, Farore, Din, and Naryu. Talk to one of them and they will say “Do you have a house you want me to rent?” or something similar. After you talk to one of them, they will live in that house for the rest of the game.

After this is done, go to the top left part of Hyrule Town. Directly below the post office will be Gustaf again. He will say “Maybe I’ll build a house here…”. Go to the right of the post office (on the very top left of the map). There will be a carpenter standing there. He will say “Geez, I wish the boss would feel better”. Give him a Kinstone and a short intermission sequence will start, featuring the carpenter saying “Wow I feel so good. I could build a house”. After a few minutes, the house will be built. To the right of the post office is a bridge. Once again, Gustaf can be found sitting there. He will say ” I could build a house here if only I could get rid of these cats…”.

Easy Rupees

Dig right to the left of the door to Link’s house to discover 20 Rupees. Enter Link’s house, then go back out. The 20 Rupees will be there again. Do this as many times as desired.

Red Potion

Go to South Hyrule Field on the bottom left side. Equip your sword and the Pegasus Boots. Run into the sparkling bush and it will turn into a stump. You must have learned the dash attack from Swiftblade to do this. Become small and go into the Minish house. Fuse Kinstones with the Minish there. Visit Syrup the Witch in the Minish Woods. She will now stock Red Potions for 150 rupees. This will replenish all of your hearts.

Mysterious Shells

When trying to collect the figurines, you need Mysterious Shells. The easiest way to get these is to go to Trilby Highlands. Chop down all the grass and smash all the rocks. This is also a good way to find rupees. You can usually find ten shells at a time. Note: Before you can do this trick, you must have given the Minish in the top-right corner of the barrel in the Minish village doing experiments everything that he asks for. You must also know the Great Spin attack and have lengthened it, and have 600 Rupees. Go to Beedle (the person selling things in bottles) and buy both the Yellow and Green Picolyte.

Go to the shop and buy 30 shells for 200 Rupees. Then, go out at the top-right town exit. In Trilby Highlands, go to the grassiest area, directly above the tree hut. Drink the Green Picolyte and spin all over, getting as many shells as possible. When it wears out, exit the screen, then return to the same area. Next, drink the Yellow Picolyte. If you are fast enough, you can get more Rupees than you started with. Do this as many times as desired.

Anju’s Cucoo game

If you are struggling when playing the Cucoo game with Anju, pick up a Cucoo and look at the direction that it is facing. Throw in the direction of Anju then use your Pegasus Boots and chase the Cucoo. Then, throw it in the pen. This earns you the heart piece easily.

Roll through enemies

You can roll right through enemies. This is useful when one is coming at you and you have nowhere to run.

Book falls early

When returning the library books 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.

Triforce reference

The three girls Farore, Din, and Naryu have the same names as the goddesses who created the Triforce.

Defeating Red Knuts

Once you have the Remote Bombs, place one in front of you and move away once the Red Knut moves near to it detonate it. The Red Knut will be stunned for a few moments. You can hit them with your sword. Continue this until they are defeated.

Get Fairies

If you see a normal solitary tree, run into it and a fairy will come out.

Sound test

To get the sound test, get 130+ figurines. Show the guy outside the cafe. He’ll unlock Treasure Hut. (House with the robot on top).

Game Shark Codes

The codes below require a third-party device like Game Shark to work. Game Shark and other cheat machines like it work by injecting code into a game to alter its gameplay. This can cause unintended glitches in a game or its saved files. If used improperly, you can wipe your saved file or even completely break your game. BE SURE TO USE THE FOLLOWING CODES WITH CAUTION. If you are emulating this title then these codes should work still as long as your emulator supports Game Shark Codes.
