The Spiritual Stone of Water,[1] also known as the Zora's Engagement Ring,[2][name reference needed] and the Zora's Sapphire,[1] is an important item in Ocarina of Time.
Location and uses
The Spiritual Stone of Water is one of the three Spiritual Stones, and the last to be obtained. It was given to Princess Ruto by her unseen mother, who told her to entrust it to the man who will become her husband.[2] After Link saves Ruto from Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly, the Zora princess falls in love with the Hero of Time and gives him the Zora's Sapphire as a symbol of their "engagement."[3] Despite this proposal, Link is oblivious to the possible marriage with Ruto, as the young hero only knows he need the final Spiritual Stone to complete Princess Zelda's request in order to stop Ganondorf from reaching the Sacred Realm.
