I've found 8 places where the stone of agony vibrates. I am going to number them 1 and then 3--9.


1) Hyrule Field, in the north west corner. There are a group of trees right by the river. Not these. A little south of them (but still up in the north west corner of the field) is another tree standing alone. You can bomb your way in. I found this as adult link.

3) In the Sacred Forest Meadow, just as you enter the room from the Lost Woods (i.e. at the southern end). Again you can bomb your way in. I found this as adult link.

4) In Hyrule Field, near the entrance to Gerudo Valley one can get quite high up onto some ground with no grass. There's a very big tree stump, and also a ring of stones. The secret is in the ring of stones. I found this as young link.

5) In Hyrule Field, on the way to Lake Hylia there are fences which block the exit and you have to climb a ladder to get around them as young link. In between the fences there is a secret. You can use the hammer to get in. I found this as adult link.

6) In Kakariko Village, about half way between (the two laughing guys near the tree) and (the door of the house with the ladies cooking). You can bomb your way in.

7) In Hyrule Field. From the main field there's a bridge over to the stairs which lead up to Kakariko Village. Go over the bridge but do not turn right and head for the stairs, turn left and head for the tree by the river. You can bomb your way in.

8 ) I think that this refers to the secret which is round the back of the tent in Gerudo Valley, as Adult link. Enter Gerudo Valley from Hyrule Field, go over the big bridge over the chasm, and there's a tent on your right. Walk round the back of the tent and it's there. I forgot how I got in :-/

9) On Death Mountain, outside Goron City, there's a ring of stones on a slightly elevated square rock. Play the Song of Storms in it.

These, I think, correspond to numbers 1 and 3--9 of

http://zelda-temple.net/zelda/ocarina-of-time/stone-guide

which is a web page I find irritatingly vague.

Can anyone tell me if there are any other locations where the stone of agony vibrates? On that web page there
are also places 2 and 10. I can't find either of these places. I think location 10 is talking about the deku nut
upgrade but as far as I know the stone doesn't vibrate there. Location 2 I just can't find.

2 is near where you first find Talon. it's the only gold skulltula in the game that must be gotten by traveling back in time (because of the song of storms)

Aah thanks, that makes sense. So now I'm up to 9 locations. Does the stone of agony ever vibrate in the Lost Woods? If not, I'm sticking with 9.

I've just realised that "hole 8" on the web page I mentioned above does _not_ seem to refer to the location around the back of the tent in Gerudo Valley (the one with the carpenters and running man as adult link). The grotto behind the tent has two scrubs in, not rupees. So, here is the current state of my understanding of the web page above.

1--7 and 9: I have found them.

8: I don't know what this is referring to.

10: I know the Deku Nut upgrade and I don't think the stone of agony goes off near the entrance.

And finally, I think the stone of agony goes off round the back of the running man tent. Where is this on the web
page?

Somehow the main mystery for me is now hole 8 on the web page. Any ideas anyone?

That web page sucks. It even list those holes what is under rocks and stone of agony doens't even vibrate there. What they were thinking. And if I remember correctly stone of agony also vibrates in gerudo fortress as adult. Middle of the fortress area there is two set of two grates. That box set what is closet to the gerudo training ground, there is secret grotto what takes you to the fairy fountain. I can't remember what you use to open it. Maybe song of storms. There is also one in kokiri forest near lost woods entrance what you need to open with song of storms. I think there is just business srcubs, nothing else.

About that hole 8 in gerudo valley there is ledge almost below to bridge. On that ledge there is a grabable rock and underneath of the rock there is grotto there is one tektite and green rupees in water what is shaped like an arrow or something. I think it's referring to that grotto but it's not that kind of grotto what stone of agony vibrates.

Hope those helps you :)

Thanks Kazooie and it's an honour to be talking with you and Cosmo. I followed up the things you suggested. My conclusions were:

1) There is a ledge with a rock on over the Gerudo river. You can fly to it as a kid, but can't move the rock. As an adult you can simply fall onto the ledge. The grotto is indeed rupees in water, as described by "Hole 8" on the page. But this is *not* a place where the stone of agony vibrates.

2) Hole 10 in the Lost Woods is also a place where the Stone of Agony does not vibrate.

However,

3) There is a place in the Gerudo Fortress where the Stone of Agony vibrates. It is by one of the four crates that is near to one of the entrances where the carpenters are held. It leads to a Fairy Fountain.

4) There is a place just by a gossip stone in Kokiri Forest, just outside the entrance to the Lost Woods, where the stone of agony vibrates. It leads to a grotto with another gossip stone and a chest containing 20 rupees.

5) Around the back of the tent containing the Running Man as adult there is a place where the SoA vibrates. It leads to two scrubs.

So I think that currently I know of 11 locations where it vibrates, of which 8 are on the list on the website.

Thanks to everyone that contributed.

Thanks and you are welcome :D

Two more locations (obtained via a thread at gamefaqs):

Zora's River (Deku scrubs - Green & Red potions)
Play the Song of storms at the circle of rocks near the exit to Hyrule field

Zora's Domain (Fairy fountain)
Play the Song of storms on the platform in the water / Ice near the exit to Zora's River.

Total: 13 so far.

Whoa! I didn't know that zora's domain one. You can always learn something new from oot haha :D

The grotto behind the tent in the Gerudo Valley is opened by using the Song of Storms. (BTW this was the last grotto I found by myself)

The grotto in Kokiri Forest in front of the Lost Woods entrance is a generic Grotto with a Gossip Stone and a chest with 20 rupees.

Another grotto not mentioned before is in the Sacred Forest Meadow: After the stairs get into the right corner and play the Song of Storms. In the grotto are two deku scrubs.

Wait -- Cosmo (or anyone else who knows) -- you say that the skulltula near sleeping Talon in hyrule castle is the only one that link can't get until he's become an adult and then a kid again. What about the one in the soft soil near the entrance to the fire temple? How does link get down that far pre-adult without the warp?

By Megaflipping to that spot.
