The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap - Definitive Edition

A quality-of-life hack for The Minish Cap by zeldafangirl with a quick item wheel, selectable difficulty, bigger wallets and far less grinding for shells and figurines.

What it is

Definitive Edition is a gameplay and quality-of-life hack of The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap by zeldafangirl.

What's new

  • Quick Swap: hold L or R and use the D-pad to pick items from a wheel, with each shoulder button holding six items; L+R chooses whether the item goes to A or B, and the help and Ezlo hints are reachable from it. The normal inventory still works.
  • Difficulty settings on the Options screen: Normal, Hard (double damage taken, weaker sword) and Hero (triple damage, an even weaker sword and no regular heart drops). Other items keep their full power, so the harder modes push you to use your whole arsenal. The setting can be changed from the file select screen.
  • Larger wallets of 1000, 3000, 5000 and 9999 rupees, with a four-digit counter.
  • Shells and figurines: much higher shell capacity, more valuable shell pickups, bigger shell bundles in the Hyrule Town shop, and better odds of getting a figurine you don't have yet.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the game, following the instructions on the hack's page, where the complete feature list is given.
