Dialog[edit]

Rotana:It was over there the whole time? I thought it strange that the sandstorm over there never lifted... Mmm... Huh? And what is a Hylian vai like yourself doing here?

Link: What are you doing?

Rotana: I'm an archaeologist...of sorts. I was just poring over some ancient text that I discovered the other day... And I've finally decoded it! Well...part of it at least...But the rest is not far off. With this discovery, I'll finally be able to make a name for myself as an archaeologist! OF COURSE! You and I meeting here is no coincidence. I've never been one to question fate. I can't explain why...but I trust you for some reason. I'll tell you the details of my research if you can keep a secret.

Link: My lips are sealed.

Rotana: There's a temple east of here near the entrance to the Gerudo Desert. It's dedicated to the seven giant statues of the heroines, said to be the divine protectors of the Gerudo. It was at this temple that I originally discovered the ancient scripture. It reads: "When the symbols of the seven symbols of the seven find their place, the blessed path will be revealed." ... That's all I've been able to decipher so far. But as far as I can tell, it doesn't appear that anyone has found it yet...

Link: Blessing?

Rotana: I'm not sure what exactly it means, but maybe I'll find out once I've deciphered more of the text.I'm not sure if this is related, but it's said the heroines held powers that were part of a bigger whole. Each heroine had a different power: skill, spirit, endurance, knowledge, flight, motion, and gentleness. Before long, I'll understand the entire text! Fortunately that Divine Beast has quieted down, so I can duct my research in peace.
