"I sell all kinds of Picolyte! I just put it in your bottle, and good stuff happens when you drink it!"

— Beedle

Picolytes are bottled substances from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. They are sold by Beedle in Hyrule Town. When consumed, Picolytes grant the bearer mystical powers, which allows him to gather more items such as Kinstones, Hearts and Mysterious Shells for a limited time. The more expensive Picolytes become obtainable after bringing specific ingredients to the Minish researcher living in the Barrel House in the Minish Village. The prices vary between different versions of the game, in the NSTC version all Picolyte is sold for 200 Rupees while in the PAL verson each Picolyte is sold for a different price ranging from 100 to 300 Rupees.

Effective use of the Picolyte Edit

The most efficient and profitable place to use Picolyte is in the south-west corner of Trilby Highlands, as this area houses the largest connected patch of grass in the game, as well as being closely connected to Hyrule Town, where Picolyte can be bought. Other areas include the central Eastern Hills and Wind Ruins.
