The '''Minish Woods''' is a forested region in {{TMC}}. It occupies the southeastern corner of [[Hyrule]] and is home to numerous Minish living in the [[Minish Village]].

==Overview==

A large number of [[Minish#Forest Picori|Forest Minish]] live in the [[Minish Village]] found here as well as various private mushrooms and ground cracks about the woods. Notable inhabitants include [[Festari]], who speaks human language and [[Gentari]], the Minish elder. Just north of the village lies the [[Deepwood Shrine]], where Link finds the [[Earth Element]]. Just outside of the village is the bomb-maker and inventor [[Belari]]'s house; after a [[Kinstone Fusion|Kinstone Fusion]], Link has the opportunity to switch his bombs out for [[Bomb#Remote Bomb|Remote Bombs]].  

A few non-Minish can be found here too. [[Syrup]] the Witch resides in her [[Witch's Hut#The Minish Cap|hut]], and the [[Great Fairy#Great Butterfly Fairy|Great Butterfly Fairy]] who provides Link with a larger [[Wallet]] is found in the northern section of the forest. While not in the Minish Woods, [[Mayor Hagen's Lakeside Cabin]] must be accessed for the first time by traveling through the woods and using the [[Mole Mitts]].

As with the rest of the world in ''The Minish Cap'', one must shrink and resize themselves with the [[Minish Portal|Minish Portals]] scattered across the forest. For example, [[Minish Link|Minish-sized]] Link is needed to enter the Minish Village and interact with the Minish.<ref>{{Cite|The world of the Minish is very small. You're far to big to meet them now [...] if we're to enter the village, we'll have to make you a touch smaller first.|[[Ezlo]]|{{TMC}}}}</ref> There are also small holes in the earth and logs that only Minish Link can go through. However, only human-sized Link can safely traverse shallow water and high grass.<ref>{{Cite|But there is one thing you must know: being Minish-sized is full of dangers! Mere puddles at your normal size are bottomless swamps to the Minish.|Ezlo|{{TMC}}}}</ref> In addition to shallow water, there is deep water in the northern half of the woods that not even normal-sized Link can cross; the [[Zora's Flippers|Flippers]] found under the Royal Hyrule Library are required to swim over.

*The name of the Minish Woods is notable as the only time that Hyruleans use "Minish" to describe the creatures; in all other instances "Picori" is used.<ref>{{Cite|Strange how, in the world of humans, only this forest has kept that name...|Ezlo|{{TMC}}}}</ref>
