BOOMERANG, COME BACK! (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

Learn how to get the Boomerang in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap! This guide explains how to find Stockwell's shop and purchase this essential item.

Alright, so you've been doing some adventuring and maybe upgraded your wallet? Good! Because we're about to grab a super useful item: the Boomerang. You'll need 300 Rupees for it, so make sure you've got that cash handy. Head over to Stockwell's shop. If you've already snagged that wallet upgrade, you'll see the Boomerang waiting for you. Grab it – it's a game-changer!

Once you've got your new toy, it's time to head up to Hyrule Castle. Make your way to the very north of the castle area. In the main room, chat with the King and the Minister. You can even Kinstone Fusion here if you want. After that, backtrack to the entrance and take the stairs on the left. Head up into the courtyard and then enter the Elemental Sanctuary.

Inside the Elemental Sanctuary, go up to the next room. Here's where things get a bit puzzle-y. Place your sword into the pedestal. After the elements do their thing, a tablet will appear. Have Ezlo read it for you. Now, you'll need to charge up a Spin Attack. Wait for the bar to fill completely. You'll see some tiles on the floor. Step on one, and then quickly move to the next before the bar runs out. You have to keep doing this until the bar depletes, you leave the room, or you press R. Once that's done, head to the bottom of the room. Charge up another Spin Attack and step on the right button of the left set of tiles. Then, move to the left button of the right set. Step on those buttons, and then press R to finish up. Phew! Now you can leave the sanctuary and the castle.

As you head out into North Hyrule Field, get ready for a little drama. Vaati shows up! He'll reveal that Ezlo is actually his master, but cursed into that hat you're wearing. They'll chat about a magical hat that grants wishes, and then Vaati bails. Unfortunately, you're left stuck with a couple of Spear Moblins. Take them out!

After the fight, Ezlo will explain more. Turns out, both he and Vaati were Minish! Ezlo created the Minish Cap, and Vaati put it on without permission. Now Vaati's off trying to steal the Light Force, and he turned Ezlo into a cap to keep him from stopping him. So that's what Vaati was after in the Bound Chest! We really need to get the next two elements, and fast!
