The Ancient Columns are a set of Ancient Hylian Ruins located on the Rayne Highlands in the Tabantha Frontier.[3] Dozens of ruined stone columns litter the area, some of which have fallen over. There is a small pond in the center of the area, which contains Chillfin Trouts. The Columns are also home to Tena Ko'sah Shrine.

Prior to the second Great Calamity, Zelda attempted to investigate the Ancient Shrine using the Sheikah Slate, but she was unable to gain access.[4] When Link approached her, Zelda reiterated her annoyance at having an escort and ordered him to stop following her.[5] During the "Captured Memories" Main Quest, Link can claim the "Zelda's Resentment" Recovered Memory outside of Tena Ko'sah Shrine, which depicts these events.
