== Overview ==
Shiro is found on the [[Road to Ikana|Road to Ikana Canyon]] inside a group of rocks. If Link sees through the [[Lens of Truth]], he sees Shiro, who is surprised that Link noticed him. He has apparently stayed there for years in an attempt to catch the attention of passerby. He thinks that nobody noticed him because he was plain and dull and compares himself to a stone.
Shiro is found on the [[Road to Ikana]], inside of a circle of rocks, but he is invisible. To be able to see and talk to him, [[Link]] must equip the [[Lens of Truth]]. Once Link speaks to him, he is surprised that Link noticed him, as he apparently has been sitting in that same spot for many years, attempting to catch the attention of passerby. He believes that nobody noticed him because he was plain and boring, and he compares himself to a stone.


He asks Link to bring him some medicine to give him strength. If Link brings either a [[Red Potion]] or a [[Blue Potion]] to him, he will become visible once again, and will reward Link with the [[Stone Mask]]. This mask allows Link to avoid being noticed by enemies, similar to how nobody noticed Shiro. After doing this, Shiro can be found finding a way to raise his spear in an attempt to stand out.
