Zelda: TOTK’s Map May Be Hiding Another Secret Stone

It appears that is hiding a Secret Stone in its map of Hyrule. Originally belonging to the Zonai, the artifacts greatly amplify the Sages’ magical abilities in . The seven known Secret Stones are mostly discovered in their corresponding ancient temples in , if not already in the possession of other characters. However, there is actually another way to see one of these mystical artifacts in .
The Secret Stones in can offer their owner great power, especially if swallowed (albeit at great personal cost). But they are also just one of many examples of the Japanese magatama being adapted into media. Shaped like a comma, these beads began as decorative jewelry in ancient times before gaining a large degree of spiritual and religious significance over time. ’s Amber and Dusk Relics are clearly magatama, and although Secret Stones lack the typical hole, their curved shape is unmistakable. Additionally, the Sheikah Eyes that decorate Secret Stones (indicating a connection to the origins of the Sheikah Tribe) could be an element inspired by this circular point.

The Hyrule found in is incredibly vast, with its map split into three sections. But while there are many surprises to find in Hyrule, the world map hides an interesting secret of its own. By examining the arrangement of Shrines in the sky, the shape of a magatama (and Secret Stone) quickly becomes evident: the wide rounded end curves around Hebra, while the tail end stretches out over Akkala. It should be noted that the shape outlined is not perfect; the shrines do not fall in a single straight line, instead placed at apparently semi-random locations and intervals. Nevertheless, the overall pattern formed by these Shrines is undeniable.
It is clear that the Secret Stone formed by the airborne Shrines of Light is no coincidence. Not only are the two ends of the magatama very well-defined over Hebra and Akkala, there are no Shrines positioned over the Gerudo Desert. This leaves a large area of the map in left without fast-travel access, something which can only be a deliberate design choice. The lack of a single Shrine of Light in the sky here means that the Secret Stone’s shape is preserved; even one shrine would distort the outline beyond recognition.
It is worth noting that the Shines found in the region of the Great Sky Island and Necluda are located towards the center of the body of the magatama. This would seem to diverge from the overall pattern; although they could represent carvings found on the Secret Stones, in that case, these shrines would be expected to be found placed more towards the wide end of the magatama. On the other hand, Taunhiy Shrine is by the same logic

Your current cooler may be ready for Intel's next-gen CPUs if this manual is to be believed
While information continues to leak regarding Intel's new LGA 1851 socket for its upcoming Arrow Lake CPUs, it has been noted that as things stand the physical CPU size is likely to remain the same as the previous generation, albeit in a socket with a greater number of pins. This has started some speculation as to whether coolers designed for the older LGA 1700 socket will be compatible with the new CPUs, and the release of AZZA's latest Cube 240 and Cube 360 AIO units may well confirm it.
