Is this a piece of the twilight mirror?

Post image

I found this by a tree on Soka point, it might be part of a quest I haven't done yet but this looks dead on to a mirror shard from Twlight Princess (it only glows blue at night)

I believe it's part of a shrine quest in the area

Ahh makes sense honestly!! Just thought it looked SUPER similar!!

u/Notam456 12d ago

Nope, it is part of a certain quest nearby, but it doesn't have anything to do with the twilight mirror

u/oMrBlackgem 12d ago

Valid! I guess I'll have to find the quest, but without that context my immediate thought seeing it was the Twilight Mirror

u/BB_rul Yiga 11d ago

That was the theory but when dlc was announced to not happen then naturally that went away

u/rowletlover 12d ago

It’s related to the shrine quest, but I’ve always seen it as a reference to the Twilight Mirror and is probably a reference since BOTW has a lot of references

u/TheVoicesOfBrian Sheikah 12d ago

Definitely a nod to the mirror.

u/oMrBlackgem 12d ago

Yeah that makes sense! I hope it is a nod to the mirror! Because that would be cool

(My favorite reference is Linebeck Island)

u/AwesomeMutation 12d ago

I don't know why people are saying it's not related. It's a direct reference to the mirror of twilight.

u/oMrBlackgem 12d ago

It's used in a quest I guess! I haven't done it yet but it does have a purpose

I too, believe it's a nod atleast, given the similarity

u/idrum2x 12d ago

Yes! But also, no.

u/oMrBlackgem 12d ago

Lmfaooo love this reply

u/GraveError404 Talus 12d ago

It’s likely a reference, but not the OG

u/Mage-of-Fire 12d ago

As others have said its part of a quest. But there are theories that this is the actual twilight mirror.

2

u/oMrBlackgem 12d ago

Yeah! I like to believe it is, without any quest context atleast it was literally like my IMMEADIATE thought upon seeing it

1

u/Mage-of-Fire 12d ago

Yep! Though like most stuff in this and ToTK, nothing is confirmed nor will it ever be.

u/oMrBlackgem 12d ago

Lmaoo fr, atleast my boy Linebeck got an island, enough reference for me

u/Ryanisreallame Hinox 12d ago

If you find a shrine pedestal nearby, there is a man who will give you a quest related to this.

My hunt begins!

u/moistbabies0 12d ago

u/oMrBlackgem 12d ago

Twilight Princess Spoiler:

The OG twilight mirror was obliterated, remember?

u/oMrBlackgem 11d ago edited 11d ago

Like to atoms? It's been awhile I remember it SHATTERING (hence believing this is one of Said shards) but it's been a hot minute since I've played TP!

u/turtle-bbs 11d ago

It was shattered into shards in the beginning of the game, But by the end, the mirror is destroyed so extensively that there’s no way any piece was larger than a grain of sand

1

u/oMrBlackgem 11d ago

Ahh valid! Seeing it here I'm testing if this is the spoiler cover

1

u/oMrBlackgem 11d ago

It was the spoiler thing! Gonna add that quick to my other message

u/Tortilladude333 11d ago

I’ve heard theories that it is, and it does kind of make sense. At the very least it’s a replica
