The Minish, also known as Picori by the Hylians, are an incredibly tiny race found only in The Minish Cap. They are only visible to children and cannot be seen by adults. In The Minish Cap, the people of Hyrule tell legends about the Picori. When Link rescues Ezlo, the once Minish sage turned into a bird-like cap that Link wears, he gives Link the ability to shrink down to Minish size. This turns Link into a very small Minish-sized being, which allows him to interact with the world in a very different way. Link's ability to turn Minish heavily affects the story and gameplay, being a major factor throughout The Minish Cap. The Minish also have their own language which Link cannot speak at first until he obtains the Jabber Nut.
There are three types of Minish, which vary depending on their location, including Forest Minish, Mountain Minish, and Town Minish.
| Town Picori | |
|
These Minish like humans so much that moved from Minish Village into Hyrule itself! They try to make humans happy, but it sometimes backfires. |
| Forest Picori | |
|
Not visible to the eyes of adults, they delight in making humans happy by hiding helpful items and Rupees under grass and rocks all over the world. |
| Mountain Picori | |
|
These seven students followed Melari from Minish Village to Mount Crenel. Their song is actually a sign they are full-fledged Mountain Minish now. |
