Orbs can be found in multiple sizes. Overworld Orbs are usually one-off items which involve a quest to obtain and place in a [[Shrine Pedestal]], unlocking a path or [[shrine]]. Others, usually within shrines, are dispensed freely, and only one need find its way into each socket.

One example of an Ancient Orb is the Shiekah Heirloom held in [[Impa]]'s house, which requires completing ''[[The Stolen Heirloom]]'' [[Shrine Quest]] to obtain and use. Other identified ones include "[[Roscoe]]" from the ''[[Guardian Slideshow]]'' Shrine Quest, and the [[Sand Seal]] race trophy from ''[[The Undefeated Champ]]'' Shrine Quest.

Almost all Orbs shine with an orange glimmer until placed in pedestals, turning blue alongside the pedestal itself and activating it. Other Orbs shine with different color lights (the ''[[Trial of Thunder]]'' orbs), or don't glimmer at all and have different designs like ''[[The Seven Heroines]]'' orbs; the latter ones are also the only orbs that can be moved through [[Magnesis]], as they're too heavy to lift.

Ancient Orbs or Stone Spheres[1] are spherical objects found throughout Hyrule in Breath of the Wild. Created as part of Sheikah Technology, the orbs are known throughout Hyrule as prized and mysterious objects, even worn as jewelry by monster enemies like Hinoxes.

Features

Orbs can be found in multiple sizes. Overworld Orbs are usually one-off items which involve a quest to obtain and place in a Shrine Pedestal, unlocking a path or shrine. Others, usually within shrines, are dispensed freely, and only one need find its way into each socket.

One example of an Ancient Orb is the Shiekah Heirloom held in Impa's house, which requires completing The Stolen Heirloom Shrine Quest to obtain and use. Other identified ones include "Roscoe" from the Guardian Slideshow Shrine Quest, and the Sand Seal race trophy from The Undefeated Champ Shrine Quest.

Almost all Orbs shine with an orange glimmer until placed in pedestals, turning blue alongside the pedestal itself and activating it. Other Orbs shine with different color lights (the Trial of Thunder orbs), or don't glimmer at all and have different designs like The Seven Heroines orbs; the latter ones are also the only orbs that can be moved through Magnesis, as they're too heavy to lift.

An Ancient Orb is involved in the DLC-exclusive Kihiro Moh Shrine's uncovering, as the player must recover it from inside the Yiga Clan Hideout to throw it into the giant chasm on the deep end of the hideout. The shrine itself features giant multi-colored balls similar to the ones on the Trial of Thunder.
