Gossip Stone: Difference between revisions

}}

''Not to be confused with a [[Sheikah Stone]]''

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Gossip Stones tell [[Link]] the current time when struck, or tell him gossip when wearing the [[Mask of Truth]]. Gossip Stones also encompass [[Fairy|Fairies]], which can be released by playing [[Zelda's Lullaby]] in front of it. Without the mask, Link will only be able to know the current time when struck. Also, when Link selects the stone, he will be told that the stone's stare is piercing into him.  With the mask on, Link will be able to listen to the stone's gossips. There are a total of 32 gossips in the game. The gossips are usually a helpful hint.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', Gossip Stones provide [[Link]] with the remaining time until the [[Moon]] crashes into [[Clock Town]] when struck, or tell him gossip when wearing the Mask of Truth. There are also several Gossip Stones located in holes throughout [[Termina]], which Link can play music to in order to get [[Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]]. Link can get a total of 4 Pieces of Heart by doing this. Link must either play the [[Sonata of Awakening]], [[Goron Lullaby]] or [[New Wave Bossa Nova]] to acquire these Pieces of Heart. There are a total of 50 gossips in the game.

Hardly a Gossip Stone at all, the [[Pirate's Charm]] is an item that [[Link]] and [[Tetra]] carry with them to communicate. It was said to be an enhanced version of a Gossip Stone, made by [[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]].

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'', Gossip Stones have a different function than those in previous installments. They can only be communicated with a simple sword slash. They usually appear in dungeons, typically one per floor. They give Link the location of treasure chests for a small fee of 20 [[Rupee]]s. Link can then copy down their locations onto his [[Dungeon Map]]. Thus, they replace the [[Compass]] from other games. They are also found on [[Maze Island]], and in various other places in the overworld giving Link helpful hints.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', Gossip Stones can be found by looking for any area where [[Link]] can see [[Blessed Butterfly|butterflies]] flying around a particular area. If Link plays his [[Goddess's Harp|harp]], a Gossip Stone rises from the ground, and as they come up, a [[Treasure]] also pops out. If Link talks to them, they give him tips like in ''Ocarina of Time'', but in this game, Link does not have to wear the Mask of Truth. Using different items causes them to spin, shrink, and even fly into the sky like a rocket and explode. Don't worry, another one takes its place instantly.

===Trivia===

*In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', hitting a [[Gossip Stone]] with the [[Megaton Hammer]] makes it flat for a few seconds, and using any of [[Goron Link]]'s attacks in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' will have the same effect.
