After completing one of the dungeons in the [[Regional Phenomena]] main quest, Link can return to Lookout Landing to find a large part of the [[Zonai Ruins]] fall from the Sky. Wortsworth is in charge of investigating these ruins. He says the stone tablet is inscribed with ancient Hyrulean, but will need to travel to [[Kakariko Village (Tears of the Kingdom)|Kakariko Village]] for his notes to translate it. He copied down the inscriptions and is heading to the village. Wortsworth will then leave Lookout Landing, beginning the [[Messages from an Ancient Era]] side adventure.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Ah, Link. You've come just in time. Have a look at this. The stone tablet that fell from the sky is inscribed with ancient Hyrulean. If I can manage to translate the text... it may be key to understanding a moment in time from ancient Hyrule. I can translate this from ancient Hyrulean, but my notes are back at the research lab in Kakariko Village. So I'll be heading there to check this text against my notes and proceed with the translation. I've already copied down what's inscribed here, so I'll be getting back to the village. If that piques your interest, Link, you should come to Kakariko Village so I can share what I've translated so far. This inscription has tremendous archaeological value. It's a bridge connecting us to the distant past. I aim to unravel its mysteries. And the sooner I get started the better.|'''Wortsworth'''}} | After completing one of the dungeons in the [[Regional Phenomena]] main quest, Link can return to Lookout Landing to find a large part of the [[Zonai Ruins]] fall from the Sky.

Wortsworth will appear at Kakariko Village where he can be found standing across from the [[Enchanted]] armor shop.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Ah, Link. Good of you to come. Too curious to stay away, eh?|'''Wortsworth'''}}{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|What a droll sense of humor! It's me, Wortsworth. The ancient-Hyrulean scholar you met at Lookout Landing. Aren't you curious about my findings here, Link?|'''Wortsworth'''}} He is looking at a picture of the stone tablet that had fallen at the Lookout Landing. Wortsworth had managed to decipher the inscription using his notes on ancient Hyrulean.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|This is a picture of the stone tablet that fell from the sky at Lookout Landing. I managed to decipher the inscription on it using my notes on ancient Hyrulean I had in storage at this research lab. Here's what it says.|'''Wortsworth'''}} He talks about his inscription, which mentions some key names, but also has some misspellings and some gibberish.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|"Ones held y honore als hochmayde to kyng Rauru ond quen Sonia, thaerafter to his suster ond to princesse Zelda. "Her on thaes grete stan ond twelf mo withalle make y endite min time with the roial familie. "So michte heore remembraunce preserven for the sake of hem on whom oure hope raeste."|'''Wortsworth'''}} The names [[King Rauru]], [[Queen Sonia]], and Zelda are clearly mentioned. The author of the inscription mentions that she will write about the royal family's daily lives in 13 segments. This means there are 12 other stone tablets around. Worthsworth tasks Link with looking for these other 12 tablets and if he finds them, to bring him a picture of the tablet.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|There's not much to go on, but you can clearly read the names of King Rauru and Queen Sonia, the founders of Hyrule. The name "Zelda" is clearly legible elsewhere in the text. The author finishes by saying that she will write about the royal family's daily lives in 13 segments. It certainly seems to be a royal diary left behind by a chamberlain or someone of equivalent station. The part that catches my attention is the third name mentioned—Zelda. There's no record of anyone by that name in any of the other texts we've unearthed so far. But this is evidence that the name Zelda is much older than the princess—it dates all the way back to Hyrule's founding. What's written here must be the start of a firsthand account of Hyrule! Did you notice the number 13 there? That means there are 12 more stone tablets to be found. If a royal chamberlain really left these... It's an interesting perspective on the day-to-day life of the era. One which the history books don't mention. There's so much we could learn here of King Rauru, Queen Sonia, or even this curious woman named Zelda. Twelve stone tablets left... Fascinating. If you happen to find more stone tablets on your travels, get some kind of visual evidence of them and show it to me. I'll make sure there's a nice reward in it for you.|'''Wortsworth'''}} He promises a reward to Link if he's able to do so.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Well? Did you find a stone tablet? According to the stone tablet at Lookout Landing, we have 12 tablets left to find. If you bring me visual evidence, there's a reward in it for you.|'''Wortsworth'''}} | |||
