'''Ancient Orbs''' or '''Stone Spheres'''<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Breath_of_the_Wild/comments/60904r/these_round_stones_say_stone_sphere_on_them_in/</ref> are spherical objects found throughout [[Hyrule]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. | |||
==''Breath of the Wild''== | |||
Created as part of [[Sheikah|Sheikah Technology]], the orbs mainly serve as keys related to [[Ancient Shrine]]s and are known throughout Hyrule as prized and mysterious objects, even worn as jewelry by monster enemies like [[Hinox]]. | |||
===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 of Trials]]. Others, usually within shrines, are dispensed freely, and only one need find its way into each socket. Most of them can be also launched via [[Stasis]]. Ancient Orbs that can be lifted by hand have little to no concussive power, so they're ineffective as throwing weapons or to destroy breakable stone blocks. | |||
One example of an Ancient Orb is the [[Sheikah Heirloom]] held in [[Lady Impa's Hall]], 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]]''. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*Although they're considered precious, rare and even sacred in Hyrule, Ancient Orbs are produced en-masse inside some [[Ancient Shrine|Shrines]], implying that they're considerably less esoteric and special than how they're perceived by common people in the kingdom. | |||
*Most orbs encountered are made of a stone-like material or the material used in Sheikah technology. As such, most of them have to be carried by hand, and while they can be subjects of [[Stasis]], they may not be susceptible to [[Magnesis]]. Said orbs also float in water, so they're not made of stone. | |||
