Entry Entry Text
Quest Start "The pride of the Rito, pillar in the sky, its heart lights up, when the sun is high."

It seems there is more to these lyrics than you heard from Bedoli in Rito Village.

Apparently Bedoli's sister Laissa knows the last half of the song.
1st Update You have heard the rest of the ancient Rito song from Bedoli's sister, Laissa.

"The pride of the Rito, pillar in the sky, its heart lights up, when the sun is high. The heart shines upon a path not whole, but a warming flame can stir its soul."

What is the meaning hidden in these lyrics?
Quest Clear "The pride of the Rito, pillar in the sky, its heart lights up when the sun is high. The heart shines upon a path not whole, but a warming flame can stir its soul."
The lyrics in the ancient song from the Rito Village were actually a clue to lead to the entrance of a shrine!
