'''Kinstones''' are mystical green, red, blue, and gold medallion segments found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', that indirectly yield [[Rupee]]s, [[Heart Container#Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]]; and on several occurrences, begin sidequest events when two Kinstone pieces of identical color and shape are fused.

This Kinstone cannot be fused with a Kinstone from a non-player character like the other three can, simply because they function as specialized keystones in specific locations.
