If you have been confused and wondering where you can get some Mints in Pokémon Legends Z-A, this guide will help you with your troubles. While the game does a decent job at highlighting the source for most resources, that's not the case for Mints. They're available from vendors in ZA, but the location isn't highlighted or marked on the map. Thankfully, this guide will help you find them and tell you where you need to be. Pokémon Legends Z-A Mints vendor locations If you're just getting started in Pokémon Legends Z-A, you don't need to bother much about finding Mints. These are more advanced items that you'll need later. If you're at that stage and wondering how to acquire the item, read on. Mints are sold in Legends Z-A by a couple of vendors, and they can be found at the same location. To reach the correct spot, take the main route that goes north-west from the centre of your map. Take the second right turn, and then go straight. Screenshot by Destructoid Take the next right turn to enter a narrow alley, where you'll find several vendors. A couple of them will offer you different Mints. However, these are pretty expensive, and some of them need a lot of Pokecoins. Hence, only buy them if you really have a need. Screenshot by Destructoid The location is also close to the Wild Zone 3 spot, but blocked by a building. If you're looking to catch Pokémon in that spot, you'll have to travel back a fair bit and catch the path that leads you to the zone. You can find other vendors selling important items like Berries at the location where you can buy Mints. Mints are required if you're looking to change the nature of any Pokémon. In my experience, they won't be extremely important unless you want to min-max and build the perfect member for your Ranked Battles. Season 1 for Ranked is now live and offers plenty of rewards to aid your in-game grind. Like our content?

Japanese video game developer Tomonobu Itagaki has died aged 58. Itagaki, best known for creating the Dead or Alive series and for reviving the Ninja Gaiden franchise in 2004, issued a post on Facebook hours before his death was confirmed. Last Words The light of my life is finally fading. The fact that this message has been posted means that the time has finally come. I am no longer in this world. (I am entrusting this final post to someone important to me.) My life has been a series of battles. I kept winning. I have caused a lot of trouble, too. I am proud to say that I followed my beliefs and fought to the end. I have no regrets. However, I am filled with regret that I was unable to deliver a new work to all my fans. I am sorry. That's how it is. So it goes. Itagaki Tomonobu James Mielke, co-founder of Tigertron and BitSummit, took to social media to say: “RIP, senpai. You will always be a ninja.” “Today I lost someone who was truly like a brother to me,” Mielke said. “I am gutted to the core. I guess I can say so now that it's on his Facebook page. He even listed himself as my actual brother on Facebook. Anyone who knows me knows how close we were. RIP, senpai. You will always be a ninja.” Tekken chief Katsuhiro Harada posted on X / Twitter to express his disbelief at the news. No way, Itagaki-san you said, “Let’s grab a drink sometime,” didn’t you? I don’t believe it. I don’t. — Katsuhiro Harada (@Harada_TEKKEN) October 16, 2025 Born in 1967, Itagaki joined Tecmo in 1992, originally to handle the graphics for Tecmo Super Bowl. Itagaki's brash nature wasn't fully seen until he started on his own Dead or Alive series in 1998, which featured female characters with strategically-placed "bounce" physics and more than a passing resemblance to *****'s Virtua Fighter, a series he has mentioned being a fan of. When Dead or Alive 2 arrived for the Dreamcast, the graphical leap shone a light on Itagaki and Team Ninja, and the outspoken developer never shied away from commenting on industry trends. Itagaki's Ninja Gaiden launched as an Xbox exclusive in 2004, and breathed new life into the hardcore action game franchise. He went on to release Ninja Gaiden ******, considered by some to be one of the greatest action games of all time. Nintendo DS game Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, and Xbox 360 exclusive Ninja Gaiden 2 followed. Itagaki split from Tecmo as part of a heated and very public breakup on June 2, 2008. After resigning from his role, he released a public statement alleging unpaid completion bonuses, with a complaint filed in the Tokyo District Court on May 14, 2008. He later founded Valhalla Game Studios with several Team Ninja members and released ******'s Third. The company dissolved in December 2021, and Itagaki went on to form Itagaki Games. Itagaki's death comes just days before the release of Ninja Gaiden 4, an action sequel he had no involvement with. Developing... Image credit: Tomonobu Itagaki / Facebook.
