Minish Woods

The Minish Woods is an area in The Minish Cap. Its name is notable because it appears to be the only place in which Hyruleans still use the word "Minish" rather than "Picori" to refer to the diminutive creatures. As would be expected, a large number of Forest Minish live here in the Minish Village, just north of which lies the Deepwood Shrine. Notable Minish include Festari, who speaks human language, and the Minish elder Gentari. Just outside of the village is Belari's house, where he will sell bombs, and later Remote Bombs, to Link.

A few non-Minish can be found here too. Syrup the Witch has her potion shop here, and Mayor Hagen's lakeside cabin can be accessed from here, but only using the Mole Mitts. The Great Butterfly Fairy can also be found here. Enemies in the Minish Woods include Octoroks and Chuchus.

This is where Link finds Ezlo, where he first learns how to shrink to Minish-size, and where he finds the Jabber Nut which allows him to speak and understand the Minish language. The Deepwood Shrine is Link's first dungeon, where he finds the Earth Element. Its boss is the Big Green Chuchu, which is actually a regular Chuchu that Link must fight while Minish-sized.
