The Minish Cap: Greedy Catfish

Greedy Catfish

Kinstone Bag: This sack stores all the kinstones Link collects during his adventures, swelling to near bursting by the end. Link is given the bag near the start of his adventure after conquering the dangers of the Deepwood Shrine.

This massive catfish is responsible for the disappearance of at least three gold rings. The first, it ate off the finger of an unlucky fisher, and the second and third were lost when the same foolish fisher baited their hook with rings only to lose the lures to the wily fish.  There is now an informal bounty on this big fish, with the reward being all the gold the greedy fish has eaten. 

----------

Losing a ring in the water only to eat the fish with your missing ring still inside is fairy tale destiny at its finest.

The Minish Cap: Box of Troubles

 Box of Troubles

Empty Bottle: These bottles hold potions, water, critters, and all other sorts of odds and ends. Link can find up to four empty bottles in Minish Cap. He will need to fuse kinstones, purchase, and trade for the bottles. 

This box was crafted by the gods to hold back all the ills of mortal life. As long as the box remained sealed, the world would remain peaceful. Unfortunately, a curious mortal couldn’t help themselves and they peeked into the box, releasing all the maladies it contained. 

---------

Pushes up glasses, Pandora’s box wasn’t actually a box, and instead should have been translated to Pandora’s storage jar.

The Minish Cap: Susan’s last shot

 Susan’s last shot


Quiver: When Link gets the bow, he must get some sort of quiver as he can carry arrows. To upgrade how many arrows he can carry at once, he must find the three large quivers throughout the land to eventually hold 99 arrows. He can buy a quiver, earn a quiver through kinstone fusion, and receive one from a Great Fairy if he is wise enough.

Susan Pevensie was one of the great sovereigns of Narnia during its golden age. She was last seen in Narnia on the day of Prince Caspian’s reclamation of his throne, departing through the portal as a sign of good faith. Susan is never again welcomed into Narnia as she has been deemed unfriendly to Narnia by some unknowable and unimpressive rubric.

Happy Mother’s Day here in the U.S.A. If you have a mother in your life, even if they aren’t technically your mother, send them some love today. If you don’t have someone you want to send warm thoughts to today, send yourself some love because something happened to you, and you deserve love and support.

The Minish Cap: Outlaw’s Cap

Outlaw’s Cap

Outlaw’s cap: This item card doesn’t represent anything specifically in The Minish Cap. I just didn’t know if I wanted to draw Robin Hood’s bow or his hat for the bow item, so I drew both.


The outlaw had only meant to stop the local tax collector who was embezzling from their collections and reporting that locals were underpaying their taxes. The assault on the tax collector’s office was successful, but the cowardly thief fled, spreading news of an outlaw who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. The mere idea of giving money away so infuriated the Plutarch that they declared the outlaw chief enemy of the state, instantly enshrining them as a hero to the people.

----------

Spencer Crittenden, of Harmonquest fame, wore a shirt on a Commander at Home episode that said, “Everything would be fine if rich people had slightly less money.” I like that shirt. If you know where to get it, let me know.
