Forum:Medallions

Looking through Ocarina of Time recently on the Virtual Console, I noticed something interesting. Outside the Shadow Temple, where you have to stand on a pedestal and use Din's Fire to light all of the torches. Engraved on the pedestal is something that looks exactly like the symbol for the Fire Medallion.

As the medallions were equipable items during the beta of OoT, could this be a clue to their use? Perhaps they replaced the 3 spells given in the game, and worked similiarly to the Medallions in A Link to the Past?

When I get that far into the 3DS remake I'll look at that pedestal too, but that could be in a week or two.
