Smooth Gem
The Smooth Gem is an Item in A Link Between Worlds.[1]
Location and Uses
The Smooth Gem is a mystical stone used by the Queen of the Zoras, Oren, to contain her powers and prevent herself from growing gigantic.[2] As its name implies, it is characterized by its irresistible smoothness.[3]
After Yuga seals Hyrule Castle, Link is able to travel to Zora's Domain, where he discovers that the Queen's gem was stolen by the Shady Guy.[4] Link must track the thief to Kakariko Village and confront him. Explaining that he was unaware of the Smooth Gem's importance, the Shady Guy gives Link the Pegasus Boots out of remorse,[5] but is unable to return the Smooth Gem because he has already sold it to the Street Merchant.[6] In order to return it to Oren, Link must purchase it for 200 Rupees and present it to her in Zora's Domain. Afterwards, Oren rewards him with the Zora's Flippers out of gratitude.
Trivia
- The shape of the Smooth Gem resembles the wings seen on the Pegasus Boots.

I couldn't help taking it. My boots help me run so fast that I've been stealing everything that isn't nailed down! But here, you take these boots. I can tell that you won't abuse their power. I hope they fit.

I knew that gemstone would fetch a high price. I-I'm sorry. I already sold it. To that guy over there. I already spent all the money I got from selling that darn stone.
