The '''Stone of Agony''' is an item featured in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. It is a magical stone that will vibrate when an unseen secret is close to its holder. It has a unique shape, like that of its real-life counterpart, the Nintendo 64 Rumble Pak, and also possesses the symbol of the Triforce etched upon its surface.

Link acquires the stone as a reward from one of the cursed residents of the [[House of Skulltula]] in [[Kakariko Village]] after destroying 20 [[Gold Skulltula]]s. Possessing the stone within the game will activate the Nintendo 64 Rumble Pak and cause the player's controller to vibrate when close to a hidden secret. ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' made this a default feature of gameplay, so that the controller would shake whenever Link came close to a hidden secret.
 
The only secrets that the Stone of Agony will detect in ''Ocarina of Time'' are hidden holes in the ground. ''Majora's Mask'' adds to this by also detecting hidden treasure chests (with the exception of invisible chests that can be seen with the Lens of Truth). Interestingly, in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest|Ocarina of Time: Master Quest]]'', the Stone of Agony will also cause the joypad to rumble for hidden chests, at a lower frequency than in ''Majora's Mask'', but only in the [[Spirit Temple]]. Since ''Master Quest'' was released after ''Majora's Mask'', this feature was added, probably due to the increased difficulty of the Spirit Temple.
