## Key points

- Wear the Mask of Truth to get local hints from Gossip Stones.
- The mask comes from completing the Happy Mask Shop side quest.
- Gossip Stones have two other mask-free functions.

## Summary

Gossip Stones in Ocarina of Time look interactive, but their main function only becomes available after Link obtains the Mask of Truth. Wearing the mask and speaking to a stone reveals a clue or advice connected to the area, which can help with puzzles or finding secrets.

The Mask of Truth is earned by completing the Happy Mask Shop side quest, which begins in Hyrule Castle Town while Link is a child. The stones also have two other functions that do not require the mask, though the article text does not describe what they are.
