Learnings of the Zora, Anecdote Two
The Learnings of the Zora, Anecdote Two,[1] entitled The Great Task Entrusted to Me,[1] are an Object in Tears of the Kingdom.
Location and Uses
The Learnings of the Zora, Anecdote Two is a Stone Monument that can be found within the Sleeping Chamber of Zora's Domain in the Lanayru Great Spring. The Monument previously hosted a copy of the History of the Zora, Part Seven, but it has since faded away and been replaced.
The Learnings of the Zora, Anecdote Two recounts Sidon's efforts to replace the original writings on all 11 Stone Monuments after they faded away.[2] Although many Zora had an issue with him removing Dorephan's words, Sidon refutes this by stating that Dorephan himself commanded him to do so.[3] Since it is not definitive whether Sidon will succeed his father, Dorephan wants him to use the Stone Monuments to prove his worth to the Zora.[4] Sidon hopes that his new writings will inspire those who read them, and he predicts that one of his descendants will inscribe their own thoughts over his words one day.[5]

Learnings of the Zora, Anecdote Two
The Great Task Entrusted to Me
As told by Prince Sidon
I, Sidon, was entrusted with the great task of renovating the Zora stone monuments that had fallen to ruin.
There are 11 stone monuments total found in and around Zora's Domain, including the one you are now reading.
The former text written by my father, King Dorephan, could not be salvaged, and so sadly it had to be replaced.
Despite my royal blood, whispers abound that it is improper for someone my age to write over the king's glorious words.
Ah, but do they not realize that it was King Dorephan himself who ordered me to undertake this restoration project?
Father says it is not set in stone that I shall be the one to inherit the throne, as it is not a matter of blood alone.
If we ask the eternal skies above whether I am fit to rule, they shall remain silent, and so we must look to our fellow Zora.
He urged me to use these monuments to share my learnings and speak to our people straight from my heart.
Father is older and wiser than I. His sage advice is a gift. As such, I have inscribed my thoughts upon these 11 stones.
I do not know how far-reaching my words shall be, but it is my hope that they will reach whoever needs to hear them most.
Until one of my descendants writes over my musings many years from now, I pray they resonate with whoever reads them.
