Entry Entry Text
Quest Start According to Impa, the Sheikah Slate that Zelda left to guide you is incomplete.

The director at the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab in Hateno Village may know a way to restore the Sheikah Slate's missing components.

Use the map to find the location of the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab and its director.
1st Update The Hateno Ancient Lab's director can't fix the Sheikah Slate until the Guidance Stone is operational again. The only way to power the Guidance Stone is to light the furnace on the outer wall of the tech lab with a blue flame.

Carry the blue flame from the ancient furnace in Hateno Village to the tech lab, and use it to light the lab's furnace.
2nd Update The blue flame in the furnace is now powering the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab's Guidance Stone.

Report to the director so that she can repair your Sheikah Slate.
3rd Update Purah has fixed the Sheikah Slate, restoring the last of its basic runes from 100 years ago.

Snap an image of Purah using the Camera rune!
4th Update You proved the Camera works again by capturing an image of Purah!

According to Purah, the album already has pictures from the past in it.

Where could these have come from? Impa in Kakariko Village may have the answer.
Quest Clear You let Impa know that the basic runes of the Sheikah Slate have been restored.

She told you that the pictures in the album are Zelda's memories from 100 years ago.

Visit the various spots shown in the images Zelda left behind to recall your own memories from that era!
