Ezlo

From Zelda - Wiki on Neoseeker

Ezlo

Near the start of Link’s quest in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, he stumbles upon a strange, talking hat that goes by the name of Ezlo. Ezlo is a somewhat cranky hat, who has little patience for Link’s simple mind but feels that the courage the boy has within his heart is the key to saving Hyrule. Ezlo acts as your guide throughout the game, often telling you where you need to go or what you need to do to progress. Despite his severe attitude problems, Ezlo is very wise and cunning, and is an invaluable helper to Link.
