Pillar Crossroads
The Pillar Crossroads is a location featured in The Crystal Trap. Princess Zelda stumbles into the crossroads after she leaves the Midoro Palace. Here, she finds tall stone pillars lying in a ring all around with strange writing on them.[1] With three columns all pointing in different locations in which Zelda could go to, each column has a drawing pertaining to its area. For example, the road that leads into the Forest has a worn picture of trees and a deer.[2]
The three roads that Zelda can take are the Forest, Desert, or the Swamp. Whichever path Zelda takes will lead her to obtain a Large Brass Key; however, the most recommended path is the Forest path, since there she will meet a Tree Witch who will give her the Witch's Ring, required to obtain one of the three items necessary to free Link from the Crystal as dictated in the Fairy's Scroll: the Magnifying Glass.
