Four Jewels

The four jewels are items found in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. Link must collect them during his explorations of the realm of Holodrum; without them, he cannot hope to unlock the gate to Tarm Ruins, where he must go to collect the Noble Sword and visit the sixth dungeon, the Ancient Ruins.

Each of the four jewels has a different shape and color:


 * The Round Jewel is pale green. Link receives it from an Old Man once he has collected the first five Essences of Nature.


 * The Square Jewel is blue. Its location depends on the kind of game being played.  If the game is main-linked with Oracle of Ages, it is hidden in a cave at Eyeglass Lake.  If the game is not linked, or is return-linked, Link will find it in a cave in Spool Swamp.


 * The Pyramid Jewel is red and, like the Square Jewel, is found in one of two places depending on the game. In a main-linked game, it has been hidden on a ledge at the base of the waterfall in the Sunken City; it was concealed there by Vire, who arrives to fight Link when he opens the chest.  If the game is not linked, or is return-linked, the jewel is in an underwater cavern outside of Dancing Dragon Dungeon.


 * The X-Shaped Jewel is orange and hidden on an island off of Holodrum's western coast. Of the four jewels, it is the most complicated one to find.  Link must use his slingshot to light an offshore torch, which will create a bridge.  He must then find the spot marked with a question mark, and drop a Mystery Seed onto the mark.  This will trigger a battle in which he has to defeat a mini-Moldorm known as the "Black Beast."  After the fight, a chest will appear with the jewel inside.
