Memoir of a Gifted Stonemason
The Memoir of a Gifted Stonemason is an Object in Breath of the Wild.[1]
Location and Uses
The Memoir of a Gifted Stonemason is the final Stone Monument, located southeast of Upland Zorana.[2] Link must read it as part of the "Zora Stone Monuments" Side Quest.
This Monument recounts the stonemason's work creating the rest of the Monuments. Initially, they were commissioned to create only one Monument, but when they saw the volume of writings King Dorephan wanted preserved, they ended up having to split it among seven.[3] They also added two more Monuments, depicting the achievements of both King Dorephan and Prince Sidon.[4] While they were doing so, they decided to add one final Monument describing their own work.[5] They finish out by stating that as long as they remember to sign the Monuments, their name will be known forever.[6]
Transcription
Memoir of a Gifted Stonemason
What an honor it was to receive a personal request from King Dorephan to craft a historical stone monument!
I did not realize how much content he'd give me, though... It certainly exceeded the line limits of a single monument.
I suppose I could have just shortened the text, but it felt wrong to tamper with our great king's words.
Thankfully, I was able to split it all between seven monuments to ensure that every word was preserved.
I have always prided myself on my ability to think outside the box. I am so very adaptable! And humble as well.
While I was at it, I thought...why not add two of my own? And so I created one for King Dorephan and one for Prince Sidon.
True, this is outside the scope of my commission... But I believe their triumphs deserve as much! But why stop at that...
Why, indeed! My achievement surely deserves remembrance too. That is how a commission of one became 10.
Of course, having increased the number of monuments, I had to find places for them all... That proved difficult.
Still, it is worth it! So long as I remember to sign these monuments, my name will be remembered forever. As it should be.
