The Minish Cap: European Backport Edition

Why it exists

The Minish Cap came out in Europe several months before Japan and North America, and the European cartridge is built from an earlier version of the game. The later releases quietly added content and fixed bugs that European players never received. Prof. 9's patch carries the most important of those changes over to the European game, so you can keep its multiple languages and still get the later fixes.

What changes

• Third bomb bag. The biggest bomb bag, holding 99 bombs, now appears in Stockwell's shop once you have the third wallet and have bought the Boomerang. The author wrote its shop text for every European language.
• Eenie's Kinstone fusion. In the European release, cancelling a fusion with Eenie locked it forever, which also cut you off from a bottle, the Mirror Shield and the final fusions. This is fixed.
• Ocarina of Wind at Cloud Tops. Zeffa can now be called from the roof of the Wind Tribe's tower, by the entrance to the Palace of Winds.

Saves made with the patch keep the bomb bag upgrade, but a fusion with Eenie that was already lost on an old save will not come back.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the European release, following the instructions on the creator's page. The repository also holds the hack's source code, which assembles with ARMIPS.
