Memory 1 – Subdued Ceremony

Memory 1 is found at the Sacred Ground Ruins, south of Hyrule Castle. Wade or run to the dais in the middle of the shallow pool while the Guardian is facing away, and step onto the glowing spot to play the cutscene.

How to find it

The first photo in your Sheikah Slate album shows a ring of ruined stonework around a dais standing in shallow water. The place is in central Hyrule, directly south of Hyrule Castle and its town ruins, so head toward the castle across Hyrule Field and look for the pool.

Solution

Approach the ruins

Stop short of the pool and look the area over. A Guardian walks the ruins and will fire at you if it spots you. Watch its pattern from a distance, and keep food ready in case you are caught.

Reach the dais

When the Guardian turns away, cross the water to the raised dais at the centre. Crouching helps keep noise down. Do not stop to fight; the cutscene spot is a short run from the edge.

Trigger the memory

Step onto the glowing spot at the centre of the dais to start the cutscene. Once it ends, the memory is saved in your album and you can leave the way you came.

If you get stuck

  • The Guardian keeps spotting you: wait for it to walk to the far side of the pool and move only when its beam is pointed away.
  • You cannot see the spot: stand on the dais itself, since the trigger is at its centre.
