'''Stone Tablets''' are a recurring object and item in {{LZS|Series}}.
{{Term/Store|Stone Tablet|Stone Tablets|Series, BotW, TotK|plural}} are recurring {{Plural|Series|Object|link}} and {{Plural|Series|Item|link}} in {{TLoZ|Series}}.<ref>{{Cite|{{Color|BotW Gray|Stone Tablet}}|Adventure Log|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|{{Color|TotK Purah Pad|It's become clear that there are 13 stone tablets documenting the age of legends. By deciphering all of them, one could learn about the lives of the royal family of that era, which was not documented in any history book.

==={{TWW|-}}===
The Stone Tablet is the Quest giver for the [[Shrine Quest]], "[[The Three Giant Brothers]]". Upon reading it, Link will be instructed to collect the [[Ancient Orb]]s guarded by the three [[Hinox]] brothers atop [[Mount Taran]] and place them in the pedestals near the Stone Tablet.<ref>{{Cite|The {{Color|BotW Red|ancient orbs}} guarded by the giants of Mount Taran lead to the {{Color|BotW Red|shrine}}.|Stone Tablet|BotW}}</ref> Upon doing so, the [[Tawa Jinn Shrine]] will rise from the ground and the Stone Tablet's Quest will be complete.
{{Plural|TWWHD|Stone Tablet}} appear in the {{Term|TWWHD|Earth Temple|link}} and the {{Term|TWWHD|Wind Temple|link}} in {{TWW}}. They are also found at the entrance to both {{Plural|TWWHD|Dungeon|link}} ({{Term|TWWHD|Headstone Island|link}} and {{Term|TWWHD|Gale Isle|link}}, respectively).<ref name="TWW Guide 96">{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= TWW|publisher= Prima|page= 96}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= TWW|publisher= Prima|page= 84}}</ref>
 
The {{Plural|TWWHD|Stone Tablet}} are large slabs of rock that block doorways, and can only be destroyed when {{Term|TWWHD|Link|link}} plays the {{Term|TWWHD|Wind Waker (Item)|link}} alongside the corresponding {{Term|TWWHD|Sage|link}}. The {{Plural|TWWHD|Stone Tablet}} have on them the requirements to destroy them: the melody that must be played and the instrument needed. Resting atop all is a symbol of the {{Term|TWWHD|Triforce|link}}.
 
The {{Term|TWWHD|Stone Tablet}} at the {{Term|TWWHD|Earth Temple}} teaches {{Term|TWWHD|Link}} the "{{Term|TWWHD|Earth God's Lyric|link}}", the melody he must play in front of {{Term|TWWHD|Medli|link}} to awaken her as the Sage of Earth.<ref name="TWW Guide 85">{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= TWW|publisher= Prima|page= 85}}</ref> Once she has awakened, {{Term|TWWHD|Link}} must take her back to {{Term|TWWHD|Headstone Island}} to play the "{{Term|TWWHD|Earth God's Lyric}}" together and thus destroy the {{Term|TWWHD|Stone Tablet}}.<ref name="TWW Guide 85"/> As the pair ventures through the {{Term|TWWHD|Earth Temple}}, they encounter two more of these {{Plural|TWWHD|Stone Tablet|display=Tablets}}, which must be destroyed using the same process as done in the entrance of the {{Term|TWWHD|Dungeon}}. Likewise, at {{Term|TWWHD|Gale Isle}}, a {{Term|TWWHD|Stone Tablet}} teaches {{Term|TWWHD|Link}} the "{{Term|TWWHD|Wind God's Aria|link}}" that he must play to {{Term|TWWHD|Makar|link}} in order to awaken him as the Sage of Wind. Only with the sound of {{Term|TWWHD|Makar}}'s violin will the {{Plural|TWWHD|Stone Tablet}} shatter.<ref name="TWW Guide 96"/>
 
==={{TMC|-}}===
Two {{Plural|TMC|Stone Tablet}} appear in {{TMC}}. The first appears in the {{Term|TMC|Elemental Sanctuary|link}} after {{Term|TMC|Link}} places the newly-reforged {{Term|TMC|White Sword|link}} into the pedestal; it gives instructions on how to use the {{Term|TMC|White Sword}}'s ability to split {{Term|TMC|Link}} into copies of himself.<ref>{{Cite|Hmm-hmm... Let’s see if I can’t read that tablet for you... {{Color|TMC Blue|Fill your sword with power and walk over the glowing tile...}} Hm... Perhaps it refers to those {{Color|TMC Blue|flashing spots on the floor}} around you.|Ezlo|TMC}}</ref> This {{Term|TMC|Stone Tablet|display=Tablet}} disappears after the fourth and final {{Term|TMC|Four Elements|link|display=Element}} is infused into the {{Term|TMC|White Sword}},<ref>{{Cite|Hmm-hmm... It seems that forging the {{Color|TMC Red|sacred blade}} somehow opened the doorway!|Ezlo|TMC}}</ref> revealing a new doorway that leads to a hidden chamber telling the location of the {{Term|TMC|Light Force|link}}.
 
The second {{Term|TMC|Stone Tablet}} is located at the top of the {{Term|TMC|Fortress of Winds|link}}, accessible after {{Term|TMC|Link}} defeats {{Term|TMC|Mazaal|link}}. It was left by the {{Term|TMC|Wind Tribe|link}}, who took the {{Term|TMC|Wind Element|link}} and departed for the {{Term|TMC|Cloud Tops|link}}. The {{Term|TMC|Stone Tablet|display=Tablet}} explains the method of reaching them: by using the {{Term|TMC|Ocarina of Wind|link}} that {{Term|TMC|Zeffa|link}} drops at {{Term|TMC|Link}}'s feet shortly after he reads the {{Term|TMC|Stone Tablet|display=Tablet}}.<ref>{{Cite|We are the {{Color|TMC Green|Tribe of the Winds}}. Long have we lived with the winds. We have mastered them. Now, we join them. Together, with the great winds at our backs, we head for the skies. Those who come seeking our power must play the {{Color|TMC Blue|notes}} Zeffa teaches. May they lead you onward to the power that you seek.|Stone Tablet|TMC}}</ref>
 
==={{PH|-}}===
{{Plural|PH|Stone Tablet}} double as {{Plural|PH|Sign|link}} on many [[Locations in Phantom Hourglass|Islands]] in {{PH}}, and as {{Plural|Series|Tombstone|link}} on the {{Term|PH|Isle of the Dead|link}}. On {{Term|PH|Molida Island|link}}, a series of {{Plural|PH|Stone Tablet}} contain the {{Term|PH|Wayfarer's Words|link}}; {{Term|PH|Link|link}} eventually discovers the {{Term|PH|Old Wayfarer|link}}'s hideout at the location where the {{Plural|PH|Stone Tablet|display=Tablets}} intersect.<ref>{{Cite|Oh, just look at this stone tablet! The guy who lives nearby, {{Color|PH Blue|Romanos}}, had a father who scattered these here. They're left as a testament to his trip to the {{Color|PH Blue|Isle of Gust}}, but they're a big nuisance!|Potato|PH}}</ref>
 
==={{ST|-}}===
{{Plural|ST|Stone Tablet}} double as {{Plural|ST|Sign}} in some {{Plural|ST|Village|link}} in {{ST}}. They cannot be read in the dark.<ref>{{Cite|Something's written here, but it's too dark to read it.|N/A|ST}}</ref>
 
A {{Term|ST|Stone Tablet}} near the {{Term|ST|Trading Post|link}} is used to mark the grave of {{Term|ST|Linebeck|link|display=Linebeck Senior}}.<ref>{{Cite|Here rests the legendary Captain Linebeck.|Stone Tablet|ST}}</ref>
 
==={{SS|-}}===
{{Stub|SSHD}}
 
==={{ALBW|-}}===
In {{ALBW}}, a large {{Term|ALBW|Stone Tablet}} etched with writing and an inverted {{Term|ALBW|Triforce|link}} symbol rests at the heart of {{Term|ALBW|Lorule|link}}'s {{Term|ALBW|Sacred Realm|link}}, presumably as a monument to the kingdom's lost {{Term|ALBW|Triforce}}. Prior to the game's events, {{Term|ALBW|Yuga|link}} discovered a crack in the {{Term|ALBW|Stone Tablet}} through which he could sense a parallel world ({{Term|ALBW|Hyrule|link}}) with its own {{Term|ALBW|Triforce}}.<ref>{{Cite|{{Color|ALBW Blue|Yuga}} discovered that there was a strange crack in this grim slate... Through it, we could sense that there was another world beyond ours... a place where the Triforce still existed.|Princess Hilda|ALBW}}</ref> The sorcerer and {{Term|ALBW|Princess Hilda|link}} plotted to use this crack to invade {{Term|ALBW|Hyrule}} and claim its {{Term|ALBW|Triforce}},<ref>{{Cite|He and I devised the scheme that imperiled your kingdom. But I alone will set this right.|Princess Hilda|ALBW}}</ref> after their own had been destroyed to quell the constant warring in {{Term|ALBW|Lorule}}.<ref>{{Cite|Many sought to control the Triforce, plunging Lorule into endless war. Our kingdom was on the verge of ruin. My ancestors got rid of the Triforce to stop the war—by destroying it. Utterly and absolutely.|Princess Hilda|ALBW}}</ref>
 
After {{Term|ALBW|Yuga Ganon|link}} is defeated and {{Term|ALBW|Princess Hilda}} repents, she uses the last of the power in {{Term|ALBW|Ravio's Bracelet|link}} to transport {{Term|ALBW|Princess Zelda|link}} and {{Term|ALBW|Link|link}} back to their own world through the {{Term|ALBW|Stone Tablet}}'s crack. Moments later, {{Term|ALBW|Princess Hilda|display=Hilda}} and {{Term|ALBW|Ravio|link}} watch on as the {{Term|ALBW|Stone Tablet}} begins to rumble and then explodes, before a new {{Term|ALBW|Lorule|display=Lorulean}} {{Term|ALBW|Triforce}} forms in its place.
 
==={{TFH|-}}===
In {{TFH}}, {{Plural|TFH|Stone Tablet}} appear next to each {{Term|TFH|Triforce Gateway|link}} in the hub area of the {{Term|TFH|Den of Trials|link}}. When read, they indicate which Zone the {{Term|TFH|Triforce Gateway}} will transport the {{Plural|TFH|Links|link}} to. The [[Hylian (Language)|Hylian text]] seen on the {{Plural|TFH|Stone Tablet|display=Tablets}} reads "Good Luck".
 
==={{BotW|-}}===
Several {{Plural|BotW|Stone Tablet}} can be found throughout {{Term|BotW|Hyrule Kingdom|link}}. The one on {{Term|BotW|Rist Peninsula|link}} grants the "{{Term|BotW|Into the Vortex|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Shrine Quest|link}}, while the one on {{Term|BotW|Mount Taran|link}} grants "{{Term|BotW|The Three Giant Brothers|link}}". Another can be found along the {{Term|BotW|Karusa Valley|link}} path in the {{Term|BotW|Gerudo Highlands|link}}, where it provides a hint for unearthing {{Term|BotW|Sho Dantu Shrine|link}}. {{Term|BotW|Shee Vaneer Shrine|link}} and {{Term|BotW|Shee Venath Shrine|link}} both feature identical {{Plural|BotW|Stone Tablet}}. In the {{Term|BotW|Korok Forest|link}}, a {{Term|BotW|Stone Tablet}} near the {{Term|BotW|Ogre Tree|link}} that serves as its exit bears a note from {{Term|BotW|Maca}}.
 
During the "{{Term|BotW|Trial of Second Sight|link}}", {{Term|BotW|Link}} will find a {{Term|BotW|Stone Tablet}} in front of one of the {{Plural|BotW|Ogre Tree}}. The {{Term|BotW|Ogre Tree}} asks him to feed it the {{Term|BotW|Rusty Shield|link}} nearby and promises a reward from its brother.<ref>{{Cite|Feed me the aged shield guarded by monsters eternal. My brother will repay you in kind.|Stone Tablet|BotW}}</ref> Placing the {{Term|BotW|Rusty Shield}} inside its mouth will cause a {{Term|BotW|Treasure Chest|link}} containing an {{Term|BotW|Amber|link}}. Past the {{Term|BotW|Water (Terrain)|link}} of {{Term|BotW|Lake Saria|link}}, another {{Term|BotW|Ogre Tree}} with a {{Term|BotW|Stone Tablet}} asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} to return its {{Term|BotW|Treasure Chest|display=Chest}}, as it was stolen by the brother.<ref>{{Cite|Please place my chest in my mouth.<br/>{{Small|The shield eater's brother stole it from me.}}|Stone Tablet|BotW}}</ref> Following these instructions causes {{Term|BotW|Kuhn Sidajj Shrine|link}} to rise from the ground.

The eight {{JapaneseName|Stone Tablets}} can be found at the end of each dungeon and are obtained after defeating a dungeon's respective boss in {{AST}}. The Tablets contain writings in a language used in ancient [[Hyrule]], requiring [[Princess Zelda]] to use the [[Book of Mudora]] to decipher their message. The Stone Tablets reveal that the [[Silver Arrow]]s, a sealed power needed to defeat [[Ganon]], are found at [[Death Mountain]].
