Vaati
Vaati had once been a Minish that lived in the Minish Realm as Ezlo's apprentice. Over time, Vaati became fascinated with the evil in the hearts of men and began to desire power. He learned the legends of the Picori Blade and Light Force, two gifts that the Minish gave to the Humans. These gifts were used by the Hero of Men to seal away the evil terrorizing Hyrule. Vaati decided to go to Hyrule and look for the Light Force, a relic said to be the source of unlimited magical power.
Since the portal between Hyrule and the Minish Realm was about to open, Ezlo created a gift for the Humans. He fashioned the Mage's Cap, a powerful magical cap that was able to grant the wishes of the one who wears it. Vaati put on the Cap without permission and transformed into a sorcerer. In order to spite his master and show off his new power, Vaati Cursed Ezlo, turning him into a living cap. Before leaving, Vaati revealed his plan to cross into the Human world through the Minish Door and obtain absolute power.
Vaati learned that the Picori Blade was being used to seal Bound Chest, which he assumed contained the Light Force. He decided to enter the Sword-Fighting Tournament in the Picori Festival, as the winner had the honor of touching the Blade. As he approaches it, he blasts away the guards protecting it and breaks the Picori Blade, releasing all the evil contained in the Bound Chest. Zelda is guarded by a mysterious power that Vaati recognizes, and he turns her to stone to prevent her from interfering with his plans. To his surprise, the Bound Chest did not contain anything other than the monsters, but he vows to continue searching for the Light Force.
To aid in his search, Vaati impersonates King Daltus and orders the Vassals of Hyrule to search for the Light Force. Vaati learns that the location of the Light Force will be revealed if the Picori Blade is reforged and infused with the Four Elements, and allows Link and Ezlo to continue their quest. The two eventually unlock a hidden room in the Elemental Sanctuary containing stained glass that reveals the Light Force to have been residing within Zelda all along. Vaati thanks them before knocking Link out and teleporting to look for Zelda.
By the time Link reaches Vaati, he has already managed to extract some of the Light Force from Zelda and transforms into a tall sorcerer form called Vaati Reborn. Link defeats this form with the power of the Four Sword, and Vaati transforms into a demonic one-eyed black orb called Vaati Transfigured. He is vanquished again, however, expressing disbelief that he could be bested by a child despite having the power of a god. As a result of this defeat, Dark Hyrule Castle begins to collapse shortly after Zelda is restored, forcing her and Link to escape to the Palace Courtyard. In his anger, Vaati transforms yet again, this time into a larger, more powerful version of his second form called Vaati's Wrath. He also prevents Link from accessing the Elemental Sanctuary, gloating about how he has become the master of the universe before warping him to another realm. He is defeated again, however, and upon the final blow being dealt, he again expresses disbelief that he was defeated by Link despite his gaining part of the Light Force. Zelda uses the Mage's Cap to restore the damage Vaati had done,destroying the Cap in the process.
The Figurines for Vaati's Boss forms cannot be won in the Figurine Gallery without first defeating Vaati. However, if Link defeats one of Vaati's forms but fails to defeat the next immediate form, the forms Link has successfully defeated will become available in the Figurine Gallery's lottery.
