Gossip Stones are found in Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Phantom Hourglass.
These odd little devices do many a senseless thing. When you slash one with your sword it will tell you what time it is, or how much time you have left (that is, if you are playing Majora's Mask). If you place a bomb next to one it will shoot off like a rocket. You can also change the color of the stone this way, when the bomb changes to either blue or red, hit it with your sword. You can smash them into the ground using your Megaton Hammer. By using Din's Fire on one, the Stone will spin around and inexplicably stretch to double its height, soon snapping back to normal. After putting on the Mask of Truth, you will find out why they are called Gossip Stones.
Gossip Stones say a lot of things in the games they are in. Sometimes it's helpful, sometimes it's just gossip.

Majora's Mask
When attacked by Link's sword, the screen will shake and the stone will make a high-pitched noise. Then it will tell Link how many more hours there are until the Moon impacts.

Phantom Hourglass
In Phantom Hourglass, they will talk to you without any conditions needing to be met. They might unlock certain challenges. It's of possible interest to note that the Gossip Stones in Phantom Hourglass have a nose and mustache greatly resembling Wario's. Compare this to the fact that they tell you where treasure is in specific dungeons.
