Gossip Stone

File:GossipStone.jpg

Gossip Stones are found in Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Phantom Hourglass. These odd little devices do many a senseless thing. When you slash one with your sword it will tell you what time it is, or how much time you have left (that is, if you are playing Majora's Mask). If you place a bomb next to one it will shoot off like a rocket. You can also change the color of the stone this way, when the bomb changes to either blue or red, hit it with your sword. You can smash them into the ground using your Megaton Hammer. By using Din's Fire on one, the Stone will spin around and inexplicably stretch to double its height, soon snapping back to normal. After putting on the Mask of Truth, you will find out why they are called Gossip Stones. In Phantom Hourglass, they will talk to you without any conditions needing to be met. They might unlock certain challenges.

(It's important to note that the Gossip Stones in Phantom Hourglass have Wario's nose and moustache. Compare this to the fact that they tell you where treasure is in specific dungeons.)

In the Manga

In the extra child chapters of the OoT manga, Link activates a Gossip Stone by hitting it, which reveals that Mido still wets his bed and that the Deku Tree is troubled that he cannot scratch his own back.

Majora's Mask

When attacked by Link's sword, the screen will shake and the stone will make a high-pitched noise. Then it will tell Link how many more hours there are until the Moon impacts. If you speak to it using the Mask of Truth, it will give you information regarding where to find other masks, or what you can use the other masks for (Example: "They say that the Couple's Mask has the power to silence arguments").
