The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Hints

What is the meaning of the stone tablet in the center of the room?

  • 1 of 10: It says to stand on the blue tile just in front of it and has four numbers, 2, 1, 3, and 4.
  • 2 of 10: There aren't really any other clues.
  • 3 of 10: However, realize that at your current position, you are on the same level as the four crystal switches around the outside of the room.
  • 4 of 10: The order on the tablet tells you the order in which those need to be struck.
  • 5 of 10: However, they need to be struck from your current position.
  • 6 of 10: With a distance weapon.
  • 7 of 10: Use your boomerang to hit the statues in the given order.
  • 8 of 10: Take the upper-left statue to be number 1, and work in a clockwise direction.
  • 9 of 10: Hit the upper-right, upper-left, lower-right, and lower-left statues, in that order.
  • 10 of 10: You can then use your boomerang once more to grab the key which drops.
