The '''Shard of Agony''' is an item in {{OoT3D}}, replacing the '''Stone of Agony''' of the original {{OoT}}.
The '''Stone of Agony''', or '''Shard of Agony''' in {{OoT3D}}, is an item in {{OoT}}. It is a companion relic to the [[Lens of Truth]].<ref>{{Cite web|quote= The Stone of Agony is the companion relic to the Lens of Truth. While the Lens allows its owner to see what normal eyes can not, the Stone lets its owner feel a powerful trembling when something strange is near.

The Stone of Agony can be obtained as a reward from one of the cursed children of the [[House of Skulltula]] in [[Kakariko Village]] after destroying 20 [[Gold Skulltula]]s. Once obtained, the [[Nintendo 64]] Rumble Pak will vibrate when close to a [[Secret Grotto]]. The Stone of Agony is also present in the [[Wii]] Virtual Console release of ''Ocarina of Time''. However, since the {{nw|Wii Classic Controller}} does not support rumble functionality, the item serves no purpose whatsoever. In {{MQ}}, the Stone of Agony will also cause the controller to rumble when close to a hidden [[Treasure Chest]] while in the [[Spirit Temple]].{{Verify|MQ}}

Although the Stone of Agony does not appear in {{MM}}, the controller still vibrates when [[Link]] is close to a Secret Grotto or hidden [[Treasure Chest]]. In {{MM3D}}, this feature is absent entirely. However, the [[Mask of Truth]] can be worn to visually reveal the location of Secret Grottoes.
