Minish/Picori

MINISH/PICORI

Ezlo guides Link to a nearby stump with a crack in the top, which shrinks him down the moment he stands upon it, allowing him to explore the forest at a whole new level and interact with a race of friendly tiny creatures that can only be seen by children.

These are the Picori, or the Minish, a race of creatures sent down by the goddesses to deliver a magical sword to an ancient hero to slay a powerful evil. These Picori live in secret villages all around Hyrule, unbeknownst to the Hylians, and both Ezlo and Vaati are revealed to be former members of their race.

As fighters, the Picori will of course be sized-up, but still small with light weight and quick movements. They will share much of their moveset with Ezlo himself, though both will have a few of their own unique moves. It’s possible the color swaps could include many of the notable members, such as Festari, Melari, and Librari.

Likelihood rating: Probably not.

Today, we cover the Minish, otherwise known as the Picori, a race of tiny people that live unseen around Hyrule, who can only be seen by children. Ezlo and Vaati are both members of the race, and as such, the Minish can act perfectly well as a clone or semi-clone of Ezlo, just with their more iconic appearance, seeing as Ezlo's Minish form looks a bit distinct from them, but they likewise have a lot of the same abilities.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Cane of Pacci

Probably the only one that can't quite be tied to them, but as it's often used to reveal cracks to allow one to shrink, I guess it makes sense for them to have it. Otherwise, the Picori Blade might be made use of, hence why I'm riding the fence on full or semi-clone status.

Side B: Elastic Mushroom

Will probably function the same. They might be faster and launch farther, given Ezlo is an older member.

Up B: Updraft

Same, but with a large leaf rather than the hat itself acting as a parachute.

Down B: Shrink

Of course a natural fit for this moveset.

Final Smash: Size of the Minish

Could do the same, although while I am here, I am reminded of a scene in which a large house made from a log is rolled, and I wonder if that might not work better.

Entrance: They will appear from a cracked stump.

Taunts: Up, the Minish will peer upward, as if studying something much larger than itself. Side, the Minish will look over the pieces of the Picori Blade. Down, the Minish will open a giant book and start reading it for a moment.

Thanks for reading! Next up, a fan favorite from Phantom Hourglass!
