'''Vaati''' is a Wind Mage, and the villain in the ''[[Four Swords Sub-series|Four Swords]]'' subseries of ''[[The Legend of Zelda series|The Legend of Zelda]]'' games along with ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap]]''. Vaati is seen taking on two main forms, one a human, the other a monster (much like [[Ganondorf]] and [[Ganon]]). In the game ''The Minish Cap'', Vaati also has a third form between his human and true demon form, namely that of a humanoid demon sorcerer.

The origin tale of Vaati is told in the adventures that [[Link]] faced with the Minish Cap. Originally of the [[Minish]] race, Vaati was fascinated by the evil that could come from the heart of man. When his master, [[Ezlo]], fashioned a powerful magical cap as a gift for the humans, a cap that could make ones wishes come true. Vaati stole the cap, transformed into a sorcerer and cursed his master into the shape of a living cap, so that he would not stop him. Then, taking human form, Vaati set out to find the means to allow him to become the greatest sorcerer the world had ever seen.
 
 
He found that means in the legends of the [[Light Force]], a mystical magic said to bestow upon the wielder the powers of godhood. Over the course of the game, Vaati continuously sought its location, finding it in the end in the most unlikely of places, within [[Princess Zelda]]. Vaati managed to extract some of the Light Force from Zelda and transformed into a tall sorcerer form known as ''Vaati Reborn''. Link defeated the form with the power of the [[Four Sword]], and Vaati transformed into a demonic one-eyed black orb known as ''Vaati Transfigured'', but was vanquished again. In his anger, Vaati transformed yet again, into a larger, more powerful version of this form known as ''Vaati's Wrath'', but even this could not defeat Link, who sealed Vaati within the Four Sword. Zelda then proceeded to use the magical cap to restore what Vaati had done, destroying the cap in the proces.
 
 
In the game, Vaati is seen in a total of five forms; a Minish, a human, a demonic sorcerer, a wind mage, and a true demon form.

The seal on Vaati was apparently weakened over time, and a long time later Vaati managed to break out of his prison within the Four Sword. Vaati kidnapped [[Princess Zelda]], forcing four [[Link]]s to go off and search for the princess. After travelling over three different lands and the dungeons they contained, Link and his three other selves confronted the wind mage in the [[Wind Palace]], the seat of Vaati's power. After a arduous battle between the sorcerer and the heroes, Link was able to reseal Vaati into the Four Swords blade.
 
 
===''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]''===
 
After Link had rescued Zelda and sealed Vaati in ''Four Swords'', [[Hyrule]] was at peace for a time. This changed when [[Ganon]]dorf stole the [[Dark Mirror]] from the [[Temple of Darkness]]. Creating [[Dark Link|Shadow Link]] to kidnap Zelda and the [[Shrine Maiden]]s, Ganondorf tricked Link into releasing the Four Sword, unsealing Vaati in the process.
 
 
During his adventure to save Hyrule, Link found out that Vaati was not the real enemy. Instead, Ganondorf had instigated the ordeal with Vaati to distract Link, allowing Ganondorf the time needed to steal the Dark Trident. With this, he would transform into the dreaded demon Ganon, taking over Hyrule in the process.
 
 
Over the course of the adventure, Link rescued the Shrine Maidens and Zelda, and restored his good name upon defeating Shadow Link with Zelda's help. At the final battle, Link and his split selves defeated Vaati, and sealed Ganon within the Four Sword with the help of Zelda and the Shrine Maidens. With this, peace returned to Hyrule, and the Four Sword was layed to rest in its shrine. With this being the last tale in the ''Four Swords'' era, Vaati was supposedly finally destroyed in this game. He met his end when Ganon, no longer needing him, disposed of the wind mage. Whether he actually destroyed Vaati, or merely sealed him inside the [[Dark World]], is unknown.
