Festari

Quote from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap Festari figurine:

"A Forest Minish living in Minish Village. He speaks some human languages. He sees that Link is human with one look. He’s a bit of a human enthusiast."

Festari guards the entrance to Deepwood Shrine from the Minish Village. He is the only Forest Minish who speaks the human language. He directs Link to retrieve the Jabber Nut which will make Link speak and understand the Picori Language. He then directs Link to speak to the Minish Elder Gentari, before he will allow passage into Deepwood Shrine.
