Jewels

From Zelda Wiki, the Zelda encyclopedia

	The jewels are treasures from days gone by. It has been said that something will happen once all four of these mystical stones have been found.

Jewels are key items in Oracle of Seasons, discovered strategically about the world of Holodrum, that are used in conjunction with each other to enter the Tarm Ruins.

Types and Location:

• The X-Shaped Jewel is hidden on a island off the Western Coast. To reach it, Link must use the Slingshot to light an offshore beacon, creating a bridge, and then drop a Mystery Seed onto a question-mark switch beyond the bridge. The "Black Beast" (a Mini-Moldorm) will rise consequently, and to pass, Link must defeat the creature. Link's reward for defeating the "Black Beast" is the X-Shaped Jewel.

• The Pyramid Jewel is hidden in one of two areas. In a non-Linked Game, it is at the end of a underwater cavern outside the Dancing Dragon Dungeon. In a Linked Game, it is tossed onto a ledge at the base of the Sunken Falls by Vire, who appears after Link opens a nearby chest.

• The Round Jewel is given to Link by an Old Man after he has the first five Essences of Nature.

• The Square Jewel can be found in 2 different regions dependent on how the game is played. In a non-linked or return-linked game it is in a cave in Spool Swamp. In a main-linked game, it is in a cave in Eyeglass Lake.

Trivia

Interestingly enough, the four jewels correspond to the face buttons on Playstation controllers.
