Ocarina of Time Gossip Stones
In Ocarina of Time, Gossip Stones can be found throughout Hyrule. They are small rocks that have the Mask of Truth symbol on them. While Link will need the Mask of Truth to get the information out of the stones, there are still some fun tricks that you can do with these stones. Some of which can actually be helpful on your journey.
- Smack them with your sword to make them giggle, bounce around for a moment, then tell you what time of day it is.
- Squish them with the Megaton Hammer. They pop back out after a moment and tell you the time.
- Shoot them with a projectile, like the Fairy Bow, Hookshot, Fairy Slingshot or Boomerang. It makes them wiggle about.
- Use Din's Fire to make them spin around and grow, Mario-style, momentarily.
- Play any ocarina song (except warp songs and Saria’s song) to make a fairy appear, or the Song of Storms to make a Big Fairy appear. Awesome way to fill up your bottles if you see one of these stones nearby!
- Use an explosion like Bombs or Bombchus to make them start blinking. You can slash them as they change colors to make them stay that color, or you can let their countdown finish and they'll take off like a rocket. Goodbye! *wave*
