[[Poe]]s of many fallen [[Hyrulean]]s, [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Royal Family]] members, and the [[Sheikah]] tribe who founded Kakariko rest in the graveyard, and it is said that the latter watch over the spirits in their eternal slumber.<ref>{{Cite|R.I.P. Here lie the souls of those who swore fealty to the Royal Family of Hyrule / The Sheikah, guardians of the Royal Family and founders of Kakariko, watch over these spirits in their eternal slumber.|Sign|OoT}}</ref> The gravestones that have flowers in front of them can be pulled back to reveal a secret room or underground chamber. These often contain a chest with a few [[Rupee]]s, and one contains a chest with a [[Hylian Shield]].

At the back of the graveyard rests the two famous [[Composer Brothers]]: [[Flat]] and [[Sharp]], whose tombstones are separated by the [[Royal Family's Tomb]]. This tomb, which can only be opened by playing "[[Zelda's Lullaby]]" on the [[Ocarina]], houses the Composer Brothers' "[[Sun's Song]]" as well as a poem to go along with said melody.<ref>{{Cite|The rising sun will eventually set, A newborn's life will fade. From sun to moon, moon to sun... Give peaceful rest to the living dead. This is an interesting poem... huh?|N/A|OoT}}</ref>

The entrance to King Zora's tomb is sealed off by a stone bearing the [[Symbols#Race Emblems|Zora Emblem]] when Link first visits the graveyard. Once Link takes the mortally-injured [[Ralis]] to Kakariko Village, Queen Rutela appears to him as a ghost just outside of Renado's house. She beckons him to follow her to her husband's grave, where she thanks him for saving her son in his time of need.<ref>{{Cite|I am deeply grateful to you for aiding my son in his time of need.|Rutela|TP}}</ref> As she had already promised Link, Queen Rutela bestows the [[Zora Armor]] upon the young hero, which he needs in order to enter the [[Lakebed Temple]].<ref>{{Cite|...There is armor here that my husband made for the coming hero. It holds the power of the Zoras. I am sure that having garb that allows you to move freely in water would aid you in your travels.|Rutela|TP}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|...That which I have promised you is within this grave.|Rutela|TP}}</ref> Queen Rutela then joins the King Zora in his eternal slumber.<ref>{{Cite|Now, at last, I can join the king in slumber.|Rutela|TP}}</ref>

Later on in the game, after Link receives [[Ashei's Sketch]], he returns to King Zora's tombstone and shows the sketch to Prince Ralis, who had been praying for his mother.<ref>{{Cite|All he does is go to the graveyard behind the sanctuary and pray... All day, from morning until night, he prays...|N/A|TP}}</ref> Prince Ralis recognizes the [[Reekfish]] on the drawing and gives Link the [[Coral Earring]], the item necessary to catch a Reekfish in [[Zora's Domain]] needed to proceed to [[Snowpeak]].<ref>{{Cite|Hmm... The beast-man of the snowy mountain...perhaps? But more important is this red fish it is holding... It must be a reekfish. That is a rare specimen found only in the Zora village. It feeds on a valuable type of coral, and without that bait, even our best fishers cannot catch one. Look closely, Link... My earring is made of this coral. I would like to give it to you. I received it from my mother... But it is fine. I no longer need it.|Prince Ralis|TP}}</ref>

==Trivia==

*In {{OoT|-}}, there is a mountain range which can be observed behind the Graveyard in the direction of [[Zora's Domain]]. The mountains seem to be that of a snowy range, which may be the origin of {{TP|-}}'s [[Peak Province]], which lies in the same general location.  

*In {{TPHD|-}}, some of the Gravestones with Modern Hylian inscriptions have the Hylian mirrored.
