Template:Place The Royal Valley is an area in The Minish Cap located to the west of Hyrule Town. Gentari directs Link to the Royal Valley once he has obtained the first three Elements needed to revitalize the Four Sword.[1]

Overview

The valley is known for its creepy atmosphere and its dark, foggy climate.[2] Nearly no natural light enters the valley, so light from a lantern is used to make headway. The trees are bleak and decaying, presumably from the lack of sunlight. The entire valley is infested with Takkuri, which roost in the trees, and ghostly Ghini.

A secret cave can be found by bombing the wall to the right of the stairs near the Royal Valley's entrance. This cave contains a Great Fairy Fountain that houses the Great Dragonfly Fairy, who asks Link 5 questions regarding his quest. If he answers them correctly, she will reward him with a bigger quiver.[3] However, if he gets one question wrong, she will take away all his arrows.[4]

The valley also contains a forest maze similar to the Lost Woods. Going down at any part of the maze causes Link to leave the forest and return to the starting point. To correctly navigate it, Link must obtain directions from signs along the way.[5] A second set of directions is later given by Dampé, who can't remember the last turn.[6] This second route leads to a treasure chest with 200 Mysterious Shells or 100 Rupees if Link has collected every figurine in the game. The two paths are:

  1. ↑ ← ← ↑ → ↑ (Given by the signs)
  2. ← ← ← ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ (Mostly given by Dampé)

Dampé, the only live human inhabitant, lives on the other side of the maze and tends to the graveyard.[7] The graveyard contains the Royal Crypt, a tomb belonging to Gustaf, a former king of Hyrule. Gina, a rather strange Ghini, lives in a cave underneath the tombstone in the top right corner. She does not attack Link, prefering to fuse Kinstones with him. The humorous brotherly ghosts, Spookter and Spekter, can also be found here.[8]
