Moon Pearl

The Moon Pearls are a set of items that represent each Golden Goddess.
Each pearl serves a different function and, once obtained, provides powerful, versatile magic to the player. They resemble Sigil Stones engraved with a partially-blackened Triforce symbol to indicate the virtue to which they correspond (Power, Courage, or Wisdom).

== Lore ==
The three Moon Pearls were created by the Golden Goddesses to assist their avatars (i.e., Ganon, Link, and Zelda). Specifically, the Moon Pearls were said to be able to transport an avatar to their patron Goddess in the event they became unable to be rescued by that Goddess (see Ganon's Epitaph, Zelda's Prayer). The pearls were left behind after the Last Great War of Hyrule, and it is unknown whether they were ever used by the avatars.
== Background and Inspiration ==
Din's Pearl was the first Moon Pearl to be implemented, in version 6.2 as a reward for completing Ganon's Tower. Its alternate forms were originally named "Moon Pearl" (similar to the miscellaneous item) but were renamed in version 6.5 with the inception of Farore's Pearl and Nayru's Pearl. 
The Moon Pearls are based on items of the same name from A Link to the Past, and Four Swords Adventures, albeit with radically different functions. The names of the pearls come from The Wind Waker, and JKalenad originally considered using the same symbols as the Wind Waker pearls, but decided on using the Triforce to allow for more freedom in Relics of Hyrule lore.
The function of Nayru's Pearl was very difficult for JKalenad to decide upon, as it has to be as versatile and useful as Din's Pearl, but still fit the virtue of Nayru (i.e. Wisdom). 
JKalenad considered implementing a reward for obtaining all three Moon Pearls, including the creation of Moon Gates to transport the player to various locations. This was implemented in part for Farore's Pearl. JKalenad considered the idea that the Moon Pearls may be able to activate a gate to a shrine on Secunda, but could not think of anything significant to be found there. He has since decided against the idea and is not considering it for inclusion.
