Spiritual Stone



In Hyrule during the era of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, in order to open the Door of Time which sealed away the Master Sword in the Temple of Time, one needed the three Spiritual Stones.

The three stones are the Kokiri Emerald (Spiritual Stone of Forest), which was held by the Great Deku Tree, the Goron's Ruby (Spiritual Stone of Fire), a treasure held by Darunia, and the Zora's Sapphire (Spiritual Stone of Water), which was held by Princess Ruto.

During his quest to unlock the Sacred Realm and steal the Triforce, Ganondorf, the evil king of thieves was refused the Spiritual Stones by each of their respective guardians. In response, he cursed them all with various blights using dark magic. In order to obtain the stones to prevent the Triforce from falling into Ganondorf's hands, Link, the legendary Hero of Time, was required to free the guardians from Ganon's malevolence.
