Template:Item The Ancient Tablet is an item in Skyward Sword.
Location and Uses
Normally, the inhabitants of Skyloft cannot reach the Surface, and in fact its lands are simply a legend for them. However, the Ancient Tablet, when placed in the altar Inside the Statue of the Goddess, allows Link to penetrate the Cloud Barrier by forming a Column of Light in each of the three regions of the surface. The tablet is broken into three parts - Emerald, Ruby and Amber. These three fragments open the way to Faron Woods, Eldin Volcano and Lanayru Desert, respectively.
List of Tablets
Emerald Tablet
The Emerald Tablet is found Inside the Statue of the Goddess in Skyloft. When Link first enters this place and receives the Goddess Sword, Fi materializes this tablet to give to Link and instructs him to hit the Goddess Crest with a Skyward Strike.[1] Link does this, raising an altar in which the Emerald Tablet can be inserted. When he inserts the tablet, a break in the clouds appears in the southeastern part of The Sky and a pillar of green light radiates from it.[2] This marks the way to Faron Woods.
Ruby Tablet
The Ruby Tablet is found in Skyview Spring, located behind the room where Link fights Ghirahim in Skyview Temple. Like the altar on which the tablets are placed, it is revealed by hitting the Goddess Crest on Skyview Spring's altar with a Skyward Strike. After Link has done this, Fi will relay a message from the gods of old to him and then materialize the tablet.[3][4] When the Ruby Tablet is returned to the altar Inside the Statue of the Goddess, a cloud rift with a red light pillar appears in the northern part of The Sky. This marks the way to Eldin Volcano.
Amber Tablet
The Amber Tablet is found in the Earth Spring, located behind the room where Link fights Scaldera in the Earth Temple. As with the Ruby Tablet, hitting the Goddess Crest with a Skyward Strike leads to another message from the gods and the acquisition of the Amber Tablet.[5][6] When the Amber Tablet is returned to the altar Inside the Statue of the Goddess, the entire Ancient Tablet is reassembled and a cloud rift with a yellow light pillar appears in the southwestern part of The Sky. This marks the way to Lanayru Desert, the final continuous area of The Surface reachable from The Sky.

References
- ↑ "Master, the first thing you must do is hit the crest sitting in this room with a Skyward Strike. These blasts are formed of pure energy that charges within your blade when you lift it skyward. Once you have charged your blade, face the crest and swing your sword to send out a powerful Skyward Strike." — Fi (Skyward Sword)
- ↑ "Master Link, it is done. Until now, a cloud barrier created by the goddess has separated the world you know from the one below. The tablet you placed in the altar has opened a small rift in the cloud barrier. You can use it to travel through the clouds to the realm below. I have recognized you as my master, and so it is my duty to follow you wherever you may go." — Fi (Skyward Sword)
- ↑ "Master, I have a message written in the language of the gods of the old. Allow me to translate for you." — Fi (Skyward Sword)
- ↑ "From the edge of time I guide you, the one chosen to carry out the goddess's mission. The spirit maiden who descended from the clouds must travel to two sacred places to purify her body. You stand in one of these places: Skyview Spring. The other is known as the Earth Spring. This second spring is hidden away deep within the scorched earth of Eldin. The spirit maiden, ever mindful of the heavy task entrusted to her, has set out to this second sacred place." — Fi (Skyward Sword)
