Stone Slate
The Stone Slate is an Object in Tears of the Kingdom.[1]
Location and Uses
The Stone Slate is located near Toto Lake in the Lanayru Great Spring. Following the Upheaval, a cliff beside the Lake crumbled, which revealed the ruins that the Slate is part of.[2] The Slate was inscribed by ancient Zora, and it details how to access the Lanayru Great Spring Sky.[3][4][5]
During the Main Quest "Sidon of the Zora", Sidon suggests that Link consult with Jiahto at Toto Lake to find information pertaining to the Sky Islands.[6] At Toto Lake, Link can find Jiahto attempting to read the contents of the Stone Slate, although its broken state has left it partially illegible.[4] Speaking to Jiahto at this time starts the Main Quest "The Broken Slate". The missing piece of the Stone Slate can be found by washing away nearby piles of Sludge. Using Ultrahand, Link is then able to return the piece to its original location.[7] Doing so allows Jiahto to completely decipher its contents.[5]
Transcription
Stand upon the land of the sky fish, and behold its lofty view. Among the floating rocks you see, a droplet waits for you.
Through this droplet, shoot an arrow with the mark of the king. Do this task, and you shall reveal a most wondrous thing.
See the watery bridge's resting spot with your own two eyes...that which connects the Zora to the people of the skies.

We simply cannot read this text properly so long as the stone slate is broken, as much as I wish it were not so. How grateful I would be if the missing fragment of the slate were to surface somewhere...

The cliff crumbled as a result of the Upheaval, and that revealed these ancient ruins. Prince Sidon immediately ordered a thorough investigation.

Hmmm... This dignified presentation... Yes, the writing looks like waves upon a stormy sea! Extraordinary! This ancient stone slate was written by our Zora ancestors from the distant past and left for us to discover!

Ah, Link. My apologies, I was deep in thought. In any case, I have news. I have made a monumental discovery! This is undeniably an ancient Zora stone slate. Better still, upon its surface there appears to be text regarding the sky! However...the slate is broken, and so I am unable to read it in its entirety. I deeply wish that I could view the full text. Alas, I fear that my fins are tied.

Oh! Incredible! I can finally read it... Yes, I very well can! "Stand upon the land of the sky fish, and behold its lofty view. Among the floating rocks you see, a droplet waits for you. "Through this droplet, shoot an arrow with the mark of the king. Do this task, and you shall reveal a most wondrous thing. "See the watery bridge's resting spot with your own two eyes...that which connects the Zora to the people of the skies." This is an extraordinary discovery! This important text actually tells us how to journey into the sky!

Say, Link... Does it not seem that Princess Zelda's whereabouts might be related to the floating sky islands and the ruins? If so, perhaps you should go and speak with out historian Jiahto. His many years have blessed him with great wisdom. It is quite possible that he could provide you with some useful information. At present, you should be able to find Jiahto continuing his investigation at Toto Lake.

What is this?! The stone slate! I can hardly believe my eyes! Link! I must thank you!
