These ancient symbols, etched onto the very fabric of the earth, hold the key to unlocking Hyrule’s shrouded past and may even lead to the legendary Dragon’s Tear, an artifact shrouded in myth and legend.
The Spark of Discovery
Your adventure ignites at the bustling New Serenne Stable, a haven for weary travelers nestled within the heart of Hyrule Field. Seek out Cado, Impa’s loyal attendant, who stands vigil near the entrance.
