Deepwood Shrine
Template:Dungeon The Deepwood shrine is the first dungeon in The Minish Cap. It is located deep within the Minish Forest. Link enters it while in minish size, so every litlle enemy here will be normal-sized (except for the boss).
As the dungeon is inside a forest, many aspects of the dungeon resemble it. It contains mushrooms, water and bugs. The Dungeon Item Is the Gust Jar, witch can suck/blow air. Link uses the gust jar to navigate in the lilypads on the water, since the Flippers are not available at the moment.

Enemies
The dungeon has a wide array of enemies:
Mini Boss
- Main article: Madderpillar
Madderpillar will slowly crawl around the room trying to make contact with Link. Just hit the nose of Madderpillar with a sword slash and he will freeze up momentarily, revealing a heart at its backside. Run around and slash at the heart with your sword. After a few moments, Madderpillar will turn red and more aggressively run around the room. The battle continues with this same pattern and it will take 16 sword slashes to its heart to defeat it.
Boss
- Main article: The Minish Cap Bosses#Big Green Chuchu
While this is regular sized green chuchu as a human, it appears as a gigantic giant creature when you are a Minish. This begins the boss battle with the Big Green Chuchu.
When Link defeats the Big Green Chuchu, he'll get a Heart Container and the Earth Element.
Link obtaining the Earth Element.
