When Link speaks to Dorian, he wonders who could have stolen the Sheikah Heirloom.

Paya says she will try to remember everything about that night, but she warns Link that the thief may still be nearby and not to approach anyone acting suspiciously at night. Dorian and Cado only saw villagers around. This initiates the Shrine Quest " The Stolen Heirloom".Īfter Link spends the day by Paya's side, she realizes that her fear will not help in retrieving the Sheikah Heirloom. Due to Impa's House being off-limits to outsiders, Paya wonders whether someone in the village stole the Heirloom. Paya thinks that whoever took the Sheikah Heirloom did so during the night. However, Impa and Paya were not able to inform Link of this before it was stolen. According to her research, the Heirloom is the key to open the Shrine. She believes Link is the hero chosen by the Sheikah Heirloom and that the "blessing of antiquity" is an Ancient Shrine. Just before that, Paya had finally discovered the Heirloom's secret. Once Link has completed the Main Quest " Find the Fairy Fountain" and the Side Quests Flown the Coop" and " By Firefly's Light", he can enter Impa's House to find that the Sheikah Heirloom has been stolen. She's also been cleaning the Heirloom regularly. Though she's nervous, she can tell that its destiny will happen soon. In the last entry of the Journal of Various Worries, Paya writes that she's heard voices telling her of the Sheikah Heirloom's important destiny. Initially, Link may not take the Sheikah Heirloom freely. It has been passed down through Impa's family for nine generations. The Sheikah Heirloom is an Ancient Orb in Kakariko Village.
