Book of Mudora

The Book of Mudora is a collection of ancient Hylian lore and stories, as well as a guide to translating the ancient Hylian Language that appears throughout the land of Hyrule. The Book of Mudora appears in A Link to the Past. It is found in a library south of Kakariko Village and is used to get into the Desert Palace, the second dungeon in the Light World, and also to obtain two of the three Spell Medallions. There is also text in front of the Master Sword pedestal that Link can read with the book as well. It was written by the legendary historian Mudora. It seems as though there are many female symbols on the cover of the book in it's official artwork.
