The Harmonious Couple is an Object in Tears of the Kingdom.[1]

Location and Uses

The Harmonious Couple is the fourth Ancient Tablet of 13. It is located on a Small Island in the West Hebra Sky Archipelago. Link is unable to read it when he attempts to inspect it.[2] However, as part of the "Messages from an Ancient Era" Side Adventure, Link is able to show Wortsworth a Picture of the Ancient Tablet so he can translate it.[3]

The Ancient Tablet describes how Rauru would sometimes take a break from his duties as King of Hyrule to partake in hunting.[4] Whenever he did so, Sonia would come to stop his hunt and return him to his work.[5] Wortsworth considers it an important glimpse into the Royal Family of Hyrule's down-to-earth nature.[6] For bringing him a Picture of this Ancient Tablet, Wortsworth will reward Link with a Silver Rupee.[7] After seeing Pictures of all Ancient Tablets, Wortsworth will display a copy of The Harmonious Couple's translation on the wall of the Zonai Survey Team Base.[8]

Oft wys Rauru, kyng of kene blade, weyve his werk real in faver of the hunte.

The Harmonious Couple

Often wise Rauru, king of a keen blade, would waive his royal work in favor of the hunt.

And often would quaint Sonia, queen of keen insight, seek him out and return this king to kingly business.

In her sapience she seems divine, that she can always find him, and for his folly he seems the more human.

And the king? Oh, he laughs. He is not equal for her wit, he knows. And the queen, she laughs too, even as she scolds.
