Powering the Dominion Rod: Success!
Now that you have Ilia’s Charm, you can show it to Ilia inside the Sanctuary. The scent of hay…she remembers you! Ilia’s Charm was meant for you for your journey. She thinks back to the Ordon Spring.
The gift isn’t a charm at all; it’s actually a Horse Call! It allows you to summon Epona from wherever you are in Hyrule (except for Snowpeak and the Desert). Ilia says she’ll be waiting for you when you return. Her memory is coming back!
Horse Call
You got the Horse Call! Ilia made this just for Epona.
Ilia now informs you that the rod of the heavens story was actually about a messenger. In the Hidden Village lies a gift for this heavenly messenger. They await his return, when he comes bearing a rod….
Head into the cellar and speak with Shad, who’s staring at an owl statue. He asks if you remember the legend of the Oocca. He’s seen statues like this, which appear to be related to the Oocca, all over Hyrule. This one is different, though; there’s something written on it. It is sky writing, and says, “Awaken us with the word that breaks the seal.”
Shad hasn’t figured out what to do, but you have! Journey back to Hidden Village once more, and enter Impaz’s hut. Produce the Dominion Rod, and she is startled. This is the sign that the messenger has arrived! A book, guarded by her ancestors, is to be given to the messenger.
Ancient Sky Book
You got the Ancient Sky Book! A book written in the ancient Sky language. A word in it seems to be missing letters….
Shad is shocked when you return to the Sanctuary cellar and present him with the Ancient Sky Book! He takes the book and heads off to try and activate the rest of the owl statues that are scattered about Hyrule. He’s marked their locations on your map.
When he departs, you can examine your Dominion Rod. Its power has been restored! Now check your in-game map, where all the locations of the owl statues are shown. Perhaps these statues have the hidden missing word…
Dominion Rod
Power has returned to the Dominion Rod! This mystical rod breathes life into ancient statues.
