Crystal Maidens
For The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on the Super Nintendo (SNES).
Where to find them
From the official guides
Each Crystal holds the soul of one of the sacrificed maidens, and when Link picks it up, her soul speaks to him.
Only they, who carry the blood of the Seven Sages, can break the barrier.
What they say
Link, because of you, I can escape from the clutches of the evil monsters. Thank you! …This world used to be the Golden Land where the Triforce was hidden. But because Ganon, the boss of thieves, wished it the world was transformed… I'm sure he's intending to conquer even our Light World after building his power here. He is trying to open a larger gate between worlds near the castle using our powers. But the gate is not open completely yet… If we seven maidens come together, we can break the barrier around Ganon's hiding place. I will tell you where the other girls are held. I believe you will destroy Ganon. I will return to my original form at that time. … … … … …
Link, because of you, I can escape from the clutches of the evil monsters. Thank you! …The Triforce will grant the wishes of whoever touches it, as long as that person lives… That is why it was hidden in the Golden Land. Only a select few knew of its location, but at some point that knowledge was lost… The person who rediscovered the Golden Land was Ganondorf the evil thief. Luckily, he couldn't figure out how to return to the Light World… …Well, remember that you have magical powers, which only The Hero can make the most of! There are some other magical warping points like the one you saw on Death Mountain. By using them you can go between the two worlds and find the evils hidden in the Dark World. You are the only one who can destroy Ganondorf, the thief-no, Ganon, the evil King Of Darkness!
Link, because of you, I can escape from the clutches of the evil monsters. Thank you! …Do you know the prophecy of the Great Cataclysm? This is the way I heard it… If a person who has an evil heart gets the Triforce, a Hero is destined to appear… …and he alone must face the person who began the Great Cataclysm. If the evil one destroys the Hero, nothing can save the world from his wicked reign. Only a person of the Knights Of Hyrule, who protected the royalty of Hylia, can become the Hero… You are of their blood-line, aren't you? Then you must rescue Zelda without fail.
Link, because of you, I can escape from the clutches of the evil monsters. Thank you! As the wise men sealed the way to the Dark World, the Knights Of Hyrule defended them from the attacks of evil monsters. I heard that the Knights Of Hyrule were nearly wiped out in that battle… You are perhaps the last one to carry on the blood-line of the Knights… It is ironic that the last one in the line has the potential to become the Hero of legend. Surely you can destroy Ganon!
Link, because of you, I can escape from the clutches of the evil monsters. Thank you! They say the Hylia people controlled mysterious powers, as did the seven wise men. But the blood of the Hylia has become thin over time. We who carry the blood of the seven wise men do not possess strong power any more, either. Our powers will increase if we mix the courage of the Knights with the wisdom of the wise men. Only a short time remains until the gate at the castle linking the worlds opens completely. If you defeat Ganon, this world will vanish and the Triforce will wait for a new holder. I believe in you… Good luck!
Link, because of you, I can escape from the clutches of the evil monsters. Thank you! Ganon captured us because he couldn't break the seal of the wise men with his power alone. And then, using the wizard Agahnim as his pawn, he drew us to the Dark World. After cracking the seal with our powers, he sealed us inside of these crystals. He then gave us to his loyal monsters. But Ganon didn't plan on your getting this far. Now, Princess Zelda is waiting for you inside of Turtle Rock. Please hurry!
I appreciate your coming so far to rescue me. As I thought, you are the legendary Hero. I have felt this from the first time we met. … … … Ganon is waiting inside of his tower to pass through the gate linking the two worlds. Once Ganon enters the Light World, it is unlikely that anyone can stop him. But if he stays in the closed space of this world, you can find him wherever he runs. Now, go to the Tower Of Ganon! We will use our combined powers to break the barrier. Let's return peace to the country without fail… … … …
May the way of the Hero lead to the Triforce.
Do you understand? ▶ Yes Not at all
Link, we are going to break the barrier of Ganon's Tower with our power.
I appreciate your coming so far to rescue me. As I thought, you are the legendary Hero. I have felt this from the first time we met. … … … Ganon is waiting inside of his tower to pass through the gate linking the two worlds. Once Ganon enters the Light World, it is unlikely that anyone can stop him. But if he stays in the closed space of this world, you can find him wherever he runs. Some maidens still need your help, though. Once you rescue them all, go to Ganon's Tower. We who are of the blood-line of the wise men will then use our power to break Ganon's barrier! Link… You must return peace to this country…
