The Researcher Mineru
The Researcher Mineru is an Object in Tears of the Kingdom.[1]
Location and Uses
The Researcher Mineru is the sixth Ancient Tablet. It is situated on a Small Island within the West Necluda Sky Archipelago. If Link attempts to inspect the Tablet, he will be unable to read its contents.[2] As part of the "Messages from an Ancient Era" Side Adventure, Wortsworth is able to translate the text, given that Link provides him with a Picture of the Ancient Tablet.[3]
According to Wortsworth, The Researcher Mineru describes how Mineru would often forego eating or sleeping to work on Constructs.[4] Her goal was to create a vessel that her Spirit could possess if her original body were to die.[5] Wortsworth feels a connection to Mineru as a fellow researcher, and he is touched by how much the unnamed chamberlain cared for her.[6] For bringing him the Picture, Wortsworth will gift Link a Silver Rupee.[7] After receiving Pictures of all Ancient Tablets, Wortsworth will display a copy of The Researcher Mineru's translation on the Zonai Survey Team Base's wall.[8]
Transcription
Queynte Mineru, the kynges elder suster, falles so dep in hir bokes swich that she oft foryetes to eten.
In min wieried wei don y what much y con, but y fer haven that it ben litel avail.
Of late treteth she of 'constructes,' thinges did she make with hir hondes as vessel for spirit whan bodi-lich failen.
So, seyde she, micht she liven longe, in spiret yhused within this 'construct.'
Though Mineru ne semes to holden ani deceyte... Bi my feith, y kan nat als trouthe thes wordes bileven.
Quaint Mineru, the king's elder sister, falls so deep in her books such that she often forgets to eat.
In my wearied way I do what much I can, but I have fear that it is of little avail.
Of late she speaks of 'constructs,' things she made with her hands as a vessel for the spirit when the body fails.
So, says she, might she live long, in spirit housed within this 'construct.'
Though Mineru seems not to hold any deceit... By my faith, I can not believe these words as truth.
