The '''Spiritual Stones''' are three major [[:Category:Quest Items|Quest Items]] that appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''.
  +
  +
==Quest Purpose==

In [[Hyrule]], during the era of ''Ocarina of Time'', [[Link|Link's]] quest involves finding the three Spiritual Stones in order to open the [[Door of Time]] which has sealed away the [[Master Sword]] in the [[Temple of Time]].<ref>{{cite|That's right...

The three stones in the game are known as: the [[#Kokiri's Emerald|Kokiri's Emerald]], the '''"Spiritual Stone of the Forest"''', held by the [[Great Deku Tree]]; The [[#Goron's Ruby|Goron's Ruby]], the '''"Spiritual Stone of Fire"''', a treasure held by [[Darunia]]; and the [[#Zora's Sapphire|Zora's Sapphire]], the '''"Spiritual Stone of Water"''', held by [[Princess Ruto]].

During his quest to unlock the [[Sacred Realm]] and steal the [[Triforce]], [[Ganon|Ganondorf]], the evil king of [[Gerudo|thieves]], was refused the ''Spiritual Stones'' by each of their respective guardians.<ref name=curse/><ref>{{cite|All this trouble must have been caused by that Gerudo thief, Ganondorf!

In order to obtain the stones to prevent the Triforce from falling into Ganondorf's hands, [[Link]] is required to free the guardians from Ganondorf's malevolence.

===Kokiri's Emerald===
  +
[[File:Kokiri's Emerald.png|right|100px]]

The Spiritual Stone of the Forest, the '''Kokiri's Emerald''', is the first of the three Spiritual Stones Link has to acquire in order to open the Door of Time. Ganondorf cursed the [[Great Deku Tree]] with an [[Queen Gohma|evil parasite]] in an effort to retrieve the Kokiri Emerald from him.<ref name=curse>{{cite|Take this stone with you. The stone that man wanted so much, that he cast the curse on me...|Great Deku Tree|Ocarina of Time}}</ref> Link destroyed the parasite that had infested him to evidence his courage, and so was entrusted with this stone and the fate of Hyrule.<ref name=curse/> However, it was too late for the Great Deku Tree, who died shortly after giving Link the stone.<ref>{{cite|Though your valiant efforts to break the curse were successful, I was doomed before you started...

The [[Symbols#Race Emblems|symbol of the Kokiri]], which resembles the Kokiri's Emerald, is seen on the [[Deku Shield]] in ''Ocarina of Time''. This emblem is also seen on almost all the doors of the [[Forbidden Woods]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', and the doors of the [[Forest Temple (Twilight Princess)|Forest Temple]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. [[Crayk]], the boss of the [[Temple of Courage]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'', has the Kokiri symbol on his shell repeated over several times.
  +
  +
The image of the Goron's Ruby appears on the skin of the [[Goron]]s in almost every game Gorons appear, whether it be a [[tattoo]] they all have or part of their initial hide. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'', the adult Gorons have the image on their upper arms, while the child have it on their forearms. In ''The Wind Waker'', this image appears on the [[Goron#The Wind Waker|Traveling Gorons]] backpack. In ''Ocarina of Time'', the image of the Goron's Ruby also appears on [[Armos]]' foreheads.
  +
  +
[[Lord Jabu-Jabu]] wears a crown with a design that greatly resembles the image of the Zora's Sapphire. In ''The Wind Waker'', the image of the Zora's Sapphire can be found on both [[Medli]]'s clothing and [[Prince Komali]]'s pendant. In ''Twilight Princess'', the pendant around [[Prince Ralis]] neck resembles the Zora Sapphire. His mother, [[Queen Rutela]], also wears a pendant similar in shape to the Zora Sapphire.

Some have noted the similarities shared by the [[Pendants of Virtue]], the [[Goddess Pearls]], the [[Spiritual Stones]], the [[Elements]], and the [[Sacred Flames]]. This could indicate a direct link between these artifacts, or equally, it could simply be an example of the designers' desire to create a feeling of familiarity or a sense of a "shared legend" within the series.
  +
  +
The emblems of the Kokiri's Emerald, Goron's Ruby, and Zora's Sapphire appear as recurring designs within the [[Forest Temple (Twilight Princess)|Forest Temple]], [[Goron Mines]], and [[Lakebed Temple]] dungeons of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. Symbols of a similar nature appear within the [[Arbiter's Grounds]], [[City in the Sky]], and [[Palace of Twilight]] dungeons, indicating that these are in fact the symbols of these tribes.
  +
  +
In addition to this, supporting details can be found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' when Link obtains the Master Sword. If the stained glass windows of the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' sages are examined closely, there is a small orb above each sage's head; in the center of each orb is a symbol different for each sage or race (the Kokiri's Emerald for Saria, the Goron's Ruby for Darunia, the Zora's Sapphire for Ruto, and the eagle on Link's shield from ''Ocarina of Time'' for Rauru). This also indicates that the eagle is the symbol of the Hylian race, with the symbol appearing on the Hylian shield, Hyrule Castle, and the Temple of Time, also hinting that Rauru is a member of the Hylian race.

— The Inscription on the Pedestal in the Temple of Time

[[File:Link places the Spiritual Stones on their pedestal in the Temple of Time, opening the Door of Time..png|20x20px]] [[|]] The Spiritual Stones are three major Quest Items that appear in Ocarina of Time.

Quest Purpose

In Hyrule, during the era of Ocarina of Time, Link's quest involves finding the three Spiritual Stones in order to open the Door of Time which has sealed away the Master Sword in the Temple of Time.[1] The races who protect these Stones will only open their minds to those who know the melody of the Royal Family.[2]

The three stones in the game are known as: the Kokiri's Emerald, the "Spiritual Stone of the Forest", held by the Great Deku Tree; The Goron's Ruby, the "Spiritual Stone of Fire", a treasure held by Darunia; and the Zora's Sapphire, the "Spiritual Stone of Water", held by Princess Ruto.

During his quest to unlock the Sacred Realm and steal the Triforce, Ganondorf, the evil king of thieves, was refused the Spiritual Stones by each of their respective guardians.[3][4] In response, he cursed them all with various blights using dark magic. In order to obtain the stones to prevent the Triforce from falling into Ganondorf's hands, Link is required to free the guardians from Ganondorf's malevolence.

List of Spiritual Stones

Kokiri's Emerald

File:Kokiri's Emerald.png

The Spiritual Stone of the Forest, the Kokiri's Emerald, is the first of the three Spiritual Stones Link has to acquire in order to open the Door of Time. Ganondorf cursed the Great Deku Tree with an evil parasite in an effort to retrieve the Kokiri Emerald from him.[3] Link destroyed the parasite that had infested him to evidence his courage, and so was entrusted with this stone and the fate of Hyrule.[3] However, it was too late for the Great Deku Tree, who died shortly after giving Link the stone.[5]

When Link travels to Hyrule and meets Princess Zelda for the first time, she reveals that she had a dream that someone from the forest, in possession of the Kokiri's Emerald, would come to meet her.[6][7] After explaining their significance, she sends Link on a secret mission to acquire the other two stones.

Goron's Ruby

The Spiritual Stone of Fire, more commonly known as the Goron's Ruby, is the second of the three Spiritual Stones that Link has to collect in Ocarina of Time. It is a dearly held treasure of the Goron race.[8] When Link manages to defeat the evil creatures inside Dodongo's Cavern, the Goron's source of food, he is given this stone by Darunia, the "Big Brother" or patriarch of the Gorons.[9] Oddly, even though it is worshiped, some Gorons wish to eat the Ruby, probably because the Gorons love to eat rocks.[10]

Zora's Sapphire

The Zora's Sapphire is the Spiritual Stone of Water which is considered an heirloom of the Zora royalty. This stone was given to Princess Ruto by her mother who said to entrust it to the man she would one day marry.[11] After Link saves Ruto from the insides of the giant whale-like deity Lord Jabu-Jabu, the princess falls in love with the young hero and gives him the Zora's Sapphire as a symbol of their "engagement".[12]

Images of the Spiritual Stones

The symbol of the Kokiri, which resembles the Kokiri's Emerald, is seen on the Deku Shield in Ocarina of Time. This emblem is also seen on almost all the doors of the Forbidden Woods in The Wind Waker, and the doors of the Forest Temple in Twilight Princess. Crayk, the boss of the Temple of Courage in Phantom Hourglass, has the Kokiri symbol on his shell repeated over several times.

The image of the Goron's Ruby appears on the skin of the Gorons in almost every game Gorons appear, whether it be a tattoo they all have or part of their initial hide. In Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, the adult Gorons have the image on their upper arms, while the child have it on their forearms. In The Wind Waker, this image appears on the Traveling Gorons backpack. In Ocarina of Time, the image of the Goron's Ruby also appears on Armos' foreheads.

Lord Jabu-Jabu wears a crown with a design that greatly resembles the image of the Zora's Sapphire. In The Wind Waker, the image of the Zora's Sapphire can be found on both Medli's clothing and Prince Komali's pendant. In Twilight Princess, the pendant around Prince Ralis neck resembles the Zora Sapphire. His mother, Queen Rutela, also wears a pendant similar in shape to the Zora Sapphire.

Theory

Theory Warning

Some have noted the similarities shared by the Pendants of Virtue, the Goddess Pearls, the Spiritual Stones, the Elements, and the Sacred Flames. This could indicate a direct link between these artifacts, or equally, it could simply be an example of the designers' desire to create a feeling of familiarity or a sense of a "shared legend" within the series.

The emblems of the Kokiri's Emerald, Goron's Ruby, and Zora's Sapphire appear as recurring designs within the Forest Temple, Goron Mines, and Lakebed Temple dungeons of Twilight Princess. Symbols of a similar nature appear within the Arbiter's Grounds, City in the Sky, and Palace of Twilight dungeons, indicating that these are in fact the symbols of these tribes.

In addition to this, supporting details can be found in The Wind Waker when Link obtains the Master Sword. If the stained glass windows of the Ocarina of Time sages are examined closely, there is a small orb above each sage's head; in the center of each orb is a symbol different for each sage or race (the Kokiri's Emerald for Saria, the Goron's Ruby for Darunia, the Zora's Sapphire for Ruto, and the eagle on Link's shield from Ocarina of Time for Rauru). This also indicates that the eagle is the symbol of the Hylian race, with the symbol appearing on the Hylian shield, Hyrule Castle, and the Temple of Time, also hinting that Rauru is a member of the Hylian race.

Trivia

  • Using cheats during the game can cause the three stones to occupy the same point on the altar in the Temple of Time, giving them the appearance of a hybrid spiritual stone.
  • The Zora's Sapphire is also known as the Zora's Engagement Ring. This is why Ruto gives Link the Zora's Sapphire as an engagement ring in Ocarina of Time.[11]
  • In Four Swords, Four Swords Adventures, and The Minish Cap, the Wind, Fire, and Water Elements look respectively similar to at of the Kokiri Emerald, Goron's Ruby, and Zora's Sapphire.
  • The Goron's Ruby looks somewhat like a rose.
