Messages from an Ancient Era is a Side Quest in Tears of the Kingdom.

Overview

After Link has completed a dungeon, a stone tablet falls on Lookout Landing. Wortsworth, a scholar, identifies it as ancient Hyrulean and leaves for Kakariko Village, where his research notes are.

On meeting Link again in Kakariko, Wortsworth explains what the tablet said, a contemporary history of the days of King Rauru's reign, and that it is apparently the first in a set of thirteen. He asks Link to photograph the others so he can translate them, and pays him 100 rupees for each tablet he brings him a usable picture of, as well as explaining what they say. He also pins the pictures up on his wall, along with the translations and explanations.

When Link brings him the a picture of the final tablet, he also gives him the Zonai Survey Team fabric as a further reward.

Requirements

At least one dungeon must have been completed to make the quest available.

STONE TABLET #1 This stone tablet is at the coordinates (-4034, 3196, 0447), located on the north-western corner of the map, west of the Hebra Mountains in the Hebra region. I highly recommend using the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower here.

STONE TABLET #2 This stone tablet is at the coordinates (-1369, 3575, 0904), located northwest on the Hyrule map, north of the Tabantha Tundra, and east on the Hebra region.

In order to get to its correspondent sky island, the Pikida Stonegrove Skyview Tower is a perfect shortcut.

STONE TABLET #3 This stone tablet is at the coordinates (-0041, 2993, 1491), located up north on the Hyrule map, in between the Thyphlo Ruins and Drenan Highlands, northwest of the Great Hyrule Forest.

I recommend heading over to the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower. From there, you’re going to want to head southwest (using the map as reference) toward the star-shaped sky island.

STONE TABLET #4 This stone tablet is at the coordinates (3573, 1744, 1357), found south of Akkala Highlands and northwest of the Hudson Construction Site and Tarrey Town.

STONE TABLET #5 This stone tablet is at the coordinates (2209, 0993, 1145), located southeast of Eldin Canyon and northwest of the Zora’s Domain. I recommend using the Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower here.

STONE TABLET #6 This stone tablet is at the coordinates (2908, 0197, 0797), located west of the Zora’s Domain in the Lanayru region. I recommend using the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower here for a handy shortcut.

Objectives

Step	Description
1	A priceless stone tablet engraved with ancient Hyrulean text has fallen from the sky into Lookout Landing. Wortsworth, a scholar of ancient Hyrulean, said he intends to decipher the text by comparing it to ancient documents left at the lab in Kakariko Village. He's departed for the village in the southeast.
2	It's become clear that there are 13 stone tablets documenting the age of legends. By deciphering all of them, one could learn about the lives of the royal family of that era, which was not documented in any history book. Capture the stone tablets in pictures, and show them to Wortsworth in Kakariko Village. You still need to capture [number].
Complete	You found all of the stone tablets and had Wortsworth decipher the ancient Hyrulean. Through these records of the ancient royal family, you got a glimpse of the thoughts and feelings of the people from that era. They seem to have left a deep impression on Wortsworth.
