Simon's Simulations is a location from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. A mini-game owned and operated by Simon in Hyrule Town, it allows customers to have simulated dreams. If Link pays the 10 Rupees required to participate, he will have a dream about fighting monsters in a dungeon. If he defeats all of them, he is rewarded initially with a Piece of Heart, and on subsequent wins is randomly rewarded with Rupees, Kinstones or Mysterious Shells. As the game progresses and new enemies are encountered, different pre-defined patterns of enemies open up. These patterns can be random but are usually themed with Link's current stage of the quest, such as encountering Minish-sized enemies around the time of acquiring the Zora's Flippers or battling Black Knights during/after the Dark Hyrule Castle stage.

Interestingly, Simon's Simulations, which includes a bed that induces special dreams, is in many aspects similar to the Dream Shrine from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.
