Gossip Stones are found in Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Phantom Hourglass. They also appear in The Wind Waker, although in a different form.
These odd devices do and say different things depending on the game on which they appear. Gossip Stones can tell time, reveal information that they've heard, give helpful hints, or even reveal the locations of treasure chests.
According to the Ocarina of Time 's in-game description, the statue speaks to Link by piercing into his mind. [1]

When the Gossip Stone is attacked by Link's sword, the screen will shake and the stone will make a high-pitched noise.

The Wind Waker
Link is given the Pirate's Charm by Tetra in The Wind Waker, and he uses it to communicate with Tetra and The King of Red Lions. It fulfills a similar purpose to the role played by Navi in Ocarina of Time. It is revealed later on that the Pirate's Charm is actually an enhanced version of the Gossip Stone made by the King of Hyrule himself.[2]
Phantom Hourglass
In Phantom Hourglass, some Gossip Stones speak to Link without any conditions needing to be met, revealing hints that could become helpful later on.[3] Other Gossip Stones, specifically the ones in dungeons, reveal how many treasure chests are left to discover. For a price of 20 Rupees, the stones show where those treasure chests are located.[4]
Trivia
- If a bomb is placed next to a Gossip Stone in Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask, it will shoot off like a rocket. They can also be smashed into the ground using the Megaton Hammer or by pounding it as Goron Link. By using Din's Fire on one, the Stone will spin around and inexplicably stretch to double its height, soon snapping back to normal.
