The Stone Slab at the Southern Ring Ruin: Some Translation Notes -Tauro

Who protect...of Hyrule from the Demon King together... King...

The Stone Slab at the Large Ruing Ruin: Some Translation Notes - Tauro

Imprison...not...indefinitely... Prepare... Demon...revival... We sages must...leave our knowledge...future generations...
