Minish Cap (Hat)

The Minish Cap is the original source of power of Vaati in The Minish Cap. It has the power to grant the wishes of the one who wears it. Its creator is Ezlo, who had intended it to be a gift for the humans.

The Minish Cap
Prior to the events in The Minish Cap, Ezlo, a Minish, had created a hat that was able to make the wishes of its wearer come true. It was supposed to be a gift for the humans, but Vaati, his apprentice, took it for himself. The first things Vaati did was changing himself into a Hylian and his master in a hat. After that, he planned to use his new powers to obtain the Light Force. He did manage to steal most of it, and as such considered himself powerful enough to take on Link. However, he was defeated, leaving only the Minish Cap behind. Ezlo told Zelda to combine her power (the part of the Light Force Vaati did not obtain) with the Minish Cap in order to undo all the damage done by Vaati. After that, the cap lost its power.
