==Overview==
'''Kinstones''' are mystical green, red, blue, and gold medallion segments found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', that indirectly yield [[rupees]], [[Piece of Heart|pieces of heart]], and sometime even begin sidequest events, when two Kinstone pieces of identical color and shape are [[Kinstone Fusion|fused]]. These Kinstones, created and generously hidden about Hyrule by the tiny [[Picori]], are seen as a sign of immense "happiness", especially if two people are engaged in Kinstone Fusion.
