Dialogue[edit]

Kass: What if... No, but then... Hmm? Mm? Ah, forgive me. I was lost in a song written by my late teacher. He wrote it for a hero who fell to the Calamity 100 years ago... So much time has passed, and yet the hero has not yet returned. But my teacher always kept faith. I hope to play the song for the hero someday, so I practice it often. Oh, forgive me. It seems I've prattled on... I know a song about this place. Would you like to hear the ancient verse passed down in this region?

Link: Let's hear it.

Kass: Excellent! Without further ado... As light shines from the northwest skies,/ From the tower's shadow an arrow flies./ Pierce heaven's light to reveal the prize." I still don't quite understand the lyrics, but knowing my teacher, they're the key to revealing the secret.

Link: Not right now

Summary[edit]

"As light shines from the northwest skies,/ From the tower's shadow an arrow flies./ Pierce heaven's light to reveal the prize."

When the light was in the northwest, you saw Gerudo Tower cast a shadow upon a pedestal. After firing an arrow toward the light from the top of that pedestal, a shrine appeared!
