The Stone Tablet is the Quest giver for the [[Shrine Quest]], "[[The Three Giant Brothers]]".

Stone Tablets are recurring Objects and Items in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2][name references needed] Stone Tablets go unnamed in The Wind Waker, The Minish Cap, Spirit Tracks, A Link Between Worlds, and Tri Force Heroes.

Location and Uses

The Wind Waker

Stone Tablets appear in the Earth Temple and the Wind Temple in The Wind Waker. They are also found at the entrance to both Dungeons (Headstone Island and Gale Isle, respectively).[3][4]

The Stone Tablets are large slabs of rock that block doorways, and can only be destroyed when Link plays the Wind Waker alongside the corresponding Sage. The Stone Tablets have on them the requirements to destroy them: the melody that must be played and the instrument needed. Resting atop all is a symbol of the Triforce.

The Stone Tablet at the Earth Temple teaches Link the "Earth God's Lyric", the melody he must play in front of Medli to awaken her as the Sage of Earth.[5] Once she has awakened, Link must take her back to Headstone Island to play the "Earth God's Lyric" together and thus destroy the Stone Tablet.[5] As the pair ventures through the Earth Temple, they encounter two more of these Tablets, which must be destroyed using the same process as done in the entrance of the Dungeon. Likewise, at Gale Isle, a Stone Tablet teaches Link the "Wind God's Aria" that he must play to Makar in order to awaken him as the Sage of Wind. Only with the sound of Makar's violin will the Stone Tablets shatter.[3]

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.[6] This Tablet disappears after the fourth and final Element is infused into the White Sword,[7] 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.[8]

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.[9]

Spirit Tracks

Stone Tablets double as Signs in some Villages in Spirit Tracks. They cannot be read in the dark.[10]

A Stone Tablet near the Trading Post is used to mark the grave of Linebeck Senior.[11]

Skyward Sword

This section of the page is incomplete. You can help Zelda Wiki by expanding it.

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.[12] The sorcerer and Princess Hilda plotted to use this crack to invade Hyrule and claim its Triforce,[13] after their own had been destroyed to quell the constant warring in Lorule.[14]

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 Links 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. In the Korok Forest, a Stone Tablet near the Ogre Tree that serves as its exit bears a note from Maca.

During the "Trial of Second Sight", Link will find a Stone Tablet in front of one of the Ogre Trees. The Ogre Tree asks him to feed it the Rusty Shield nearby and promises a reward from its brother.[15] Placing the Rusty Shield inside its mouth will cause a Treasure Chest containing an Amber. Past the Water of Lake Saria, another Ogre Tree with a Stone Tablet asks Link to return its Chest, as it was stolen by the brother.[16] Following these instructions causes Kuhn Sidajj Shrine to rise from the ground.
