Stone Tablets are recurring objects and items in The Legend of Zelda series.[name references needed] Stone Tablets go unnamed in The Minish Cap, Spirit Tracks, A Link Between Worlds, and Tri Force Heroes.
Location and Uses
The Minish Cap
Two Stone Tablets appear in The Minish Cap. The first appears in the Elemental Sanctuary after Link places the newly-reforged White Sword into the pedestal; it gives instructions on how to use the White Sword's ability to split Link into copies of himself.[1] This Tablet disappears after the fourth and final Element is infused into the White Sword,[2] revealing a new doorway that leads to a hidden chamber telling the location of the Light Force.
The second Stone Tablet is located at the top of the Fortress of Winds, accessible after Link defeats Mazaal. It was left by the Wind Tribe, who took the Wind Element and departed for the Cloud Tops. The Tablet explains the method of reaching them: by using the Ocarina of Wind that Zeffa drops at Link's feet shortly after he reads the Tablet.[3]
Phantom Hourglass
Stone Tablets double as Signs on many Islands in Phantom Hourglass, and as Tombstones on the Isle of the Dead. On Molida Island, a series of Stone Tablets contain the Wayfarer's Words; Link eventually discovers the Old Wayfarer's hideout at the location where the Tablets intersect.[4]
Spirit Tracks
Stone Tablets double as Signs in some Villages in Spirit Tracks. A Stone Tablet near the Trading Post is used to mark the grave of Linebeck Senior.
A Link Between Worlds
In A Link Between Worlds, a large Stone Tablet etched with writing and an inverted Triforce symbol rests at the heart of Lorule's Sacred Realm, presumably as a monument to the kingdom's lost Triforce. Prior to the game's events, Yuga discovered a crack in the Stone Tablet through which he could sense a parallel world (Hyrule) with its own Triforce.[5] The sorcerer and Princess Hilda plotted to use this crack to invade Hyrule and claim its Triforce,[6] after their own had been destroyed to quell the constant warring in Lorule.[7]
After Yuga Ganon is defeated and Princess Hilda repents, she uses the last of the power in Ravio's Bracelet to transport Princess Zelda and Link back to their own world through the Stone Tablet's crack. Moments later, Hilda and Ravio watch on as the Stone Tablet begins to rumble and then explodes, before a new Lorulean Triforce forms in its place.
Tri Force Heroes
In Tri Force Heroes, Stone Tablets appear next to each Triforce Gateway in the hub area of the Den of Trials. When read, they indicate which Zone the Triforce Gateway will transport the Link to. The Hylian text seen on the Tablets reads "Good Luck".
Breath of the Wild
Several Stone Tablets can be found throughout Hyrule Kingdom. The one on Rist Peninsula grants the "Into the Vortex" Shrine Quest, while the one on Mount Taran grants "The Three Giant Brothers". Another can be found along the Karusa Valley path in the Gerudo Highlands, where it provides a hint for unearthing Sho Dantu Shrine. Shee Vaneer Shrine and Shee Venath Shrine both feature identical Stone Tablets.
| Location | Text |
|---|---|
| Gerudo Highlands | If you seek power untold, offer a shining blue stone. |
| Mount Taran | The ancient orbs guarded by the giants of Mount Taran lead to the shrine. |
| Rist Peninsula | Only a hero bearing this ancient orb shall be granted the right of trial on Rist Peninsula. |
| Shee Vaneer Shrine/Shee Venath Shrine | The shrines atop these peaks share a connection—their memory the answer to the other's question. Commit to memory before you start, lest, a failure, you will depart. |
Other Appearances
Ancient Stone Tablets
The eight Stone Tablets can be found at the end of each Dungeon and are obtained after defeating a Dungeon's respective Boss in Ancient Stone Tablets. The Tablets contain writings in a language used in ancient Hyrule, requiring Princess Zelda to use the Book of Mudora to decipher their message. The Stone Tablets reveal that the Silver Arrows, a sealed power needed to defeat Ganon, are found at Death Mountain.
