Mage's Cap: Difference between revisions

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.<ref name=Quote2>{{Cite|Hmm-hmm! The hat is breaking apart. It's overflowing with the power of life! The hat has the power to turn the thoughts of its wearer into reality. [[Vaati]]'s heart was filled with evil, and that was reflected in what he became. But it seems that [[[[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]'s pure heart, coupled with the hat's power... has created a miracle!|Ezlo|TMC}}</ref> It was supposed to be a gift for the humans, but [[Vaati]], his apprentice, took it for himself.<ref>{{Cite|That foul [[Vaati]]! What could he be scheming now? Link... I feel I owe you an explanation of what has happened. You see, Vaati and I are both [[Minish]]. I was once a famous sage and a renowned Minish craftsman. Vaati was only a boy when I took him on as my apprentice. But...he became enchanted by the wickedness in the hearts of men. One day, Vaati took a hat I made for the humans —-- my pride and joy. It granted the wishes of its wearer. He put it on without my permission...|Ezlo|TMC}}</ref> The first things Vaati did was changing himself into a [[Hylian]] and his master into a hat. After that, he planned to use his new powers to obtain the [[Light Force]]. He did manage to steal some of it, and as such considered himself powerful enough to take on [[Link]]. However, he was defeated, leaving only the Mage's Cap behind. Ezlo told [[Princess Zelda|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.<ref>{{Cite|If one with a just heart wears this cap, things can be made right again. Princess Zelda! Let your wishes be made real!|Ezlo|TMC}}</ref> After that, the cap was overloaded with magic, and as a result it fell apart and lost its power.<ref name=Quote2/>
