This is the items page for The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past. Some of these are inventory items, while others are either items found in the overworld or in Dungeons. I don't recognize the 4th medallion (marked with a red square).

Looking for a sci fi book with a young female protagonist and her indestructible robot Kilimanjaro (called Kili). She is forced to leave her planet (which I think is a moon) and eventually travels to a station orbiting Earth, where mankind awaits first contact with an alien species. I can remembe...

Looking for a teen fantasy novel from when I was a kid, unfortunately I can't remember the title or the author. It told the story of 3 adventurers: a warrior, a wizard and a small rogue. The antagonist is a shape-shifting monster. The monster is searching for a magical gem of incredible power and...
This question is based on some facts I learned from Peter Davison, who played the Fifth Doctor, at an American Doctor Who convention about thirty years ago. Among the things Davison told the audience was that his second Doctor Who story, "Four to Doomsday" was his least favorite. (His favorite,...
Trying to find the name of a move I saw (on VHS!) in the late 80s.
I remember the beginning of the movie had a woman who was sent to break a man out of a moon-prison cell (because she wanted him to help her with some quest). She breaks the guy out and he's not excited to help her but some oth...
Before Barty Crouch Jr. went to Hogwarts to become the Defense Against the Dark Art teacher, he was already in communication with his master, Lord Voldemort. Voldemort knew the post was cursed and had several options.
Voldemort could have lifted the curse for a year.
He could have warned Barty ...0
He was certainly more resistant to the Ring than any other character in LOTR. He could have handled the Ring with greater ease throughout the journey, especially in Mordor, as compared to Frodo.
Does this idea doesn't come to anyone's mind or is there some deeper reason?
I am new to the site and I do not understand how to locate the question I asked yesterday. Can anyone explain to me how I find my own question and any possible answers to it?
Please note that I am not sure that I will be able to locate THIS question, or any answers to it!!
Thank you,

Since Tolkien was largely influenced by this Old English poem, it should not be a surprise if his Orcs were at least partly derived from it.
Just as the Orcs are twisted, monstrous, naturally evil descendants of Elves, so is Grendel a twisted, monstrous, naturally evil descendant of Cain, and t...

In Avengers movie everyone seemed to know a great deal about Tesseract. Even Hawkeye seemed to know that it is a thing which can make portals (He tells about the Tesseeact that door can open from both sides). In Captain America The First Avenger Red Skull only used the stone for harnessing power....
People make silly phrases like "Pew! Pew! I shoot you with my space gun".
Where did the "pew pew" meme come from?

Where did the concept or idea come from for the borg. Was it the tennis player
In Home (Season 2, Episode 3 of the Orville) Alara is diagnosed with a bone/muscle mass deficiency that is attributed to her living on the Orville and away from her high gravity home world.
The initial solution to this was to send home to Xelaya in order to recuperate. However towards the end o...
There's a few options available to you
You can sort questions by newness. Presumably it's one of the questions asked yesterday
You could use the search facility to search for the title.
You could search for it by tag (our questions are usually very well curated).
If you remember the username yo...

Right as I was going to post this as a possible bug, I finally found this post which says that per-site Metas don't have suggested edits by-design because it's "not needed".
However, I've been participating a lot over at Skeptics meta where there is a lot still to be figured out in terms of site...
Mostly because the per-site metas are generally low traffic -- some of them count daily visits in the dozens.
That means the moderators will have to do the work, since the 10k site users are the only ones that can even see this queue. And on many sites, like say Bicycles -- there are exactly ze...0
So I've read this book probably 10 or 15 years ago I remember it starting out with a young woman( I think) talking to a computer and altering her appearance in a mirror. I believe she was making subtle changes that were up-to-date with what was popular for the time and I believe the book explain...

This is a long shot, but I’m looking for anything published before 1977 which mentions pillywiggins (or any similar words). They would be fairies or just small creatures associated with flowers.
These creatures have appeared in some modern fantasy works, and are usually claimed to be from folklo...
I'm trying to track down a short story from my high school English class, but the details are fuzzy.
A group of people are exploring ancient ruins of a civilization and they're discussing how primitive they were. In the end, you realize they are exploring a post apocalyptic U.S. I think they f...
About 50 years ago, I read a science fiction story in a "year's best" anthology. As I remember it, a guy was visiting a small moon and ran into a scary giant spider-like creature. He fired a shot, but missed. They somehow get trapped together. At some point, one or the other starts rapping ou...17
It looks like it may be "The Future Lost", which appeared in The Collected Short Fiction of Robert Sheckley (1991). Leonard Nisher, the protagonist, travelled from the past to the future, and back to the past. He relates what happened there to a doctor.
Nisher saw that a lot of people had st...

Maybe "Between the Dark and the Daylight" (1958) by Algis Budrys. The story is available at the Internet Archive here (link courtesy of @user14111).
A human spaceship crashlands on a planet where conditions are inimical to human life - including a hostile sentient native species. So the human...

I believe you are looking for the collection Tales of Ten Worlds (1962).
The first story is "Let there be light" (1957).
A character criticized the way that death rays in science fiction were visible to the human eye, saying that if visible light was deadly, humans couldn't live.
The conver...

When Ronan got stone of infinity on Knowhere and decided to not give the stone to Thanos, Korath told him that Thanos is the most powerful being in the universe. Why is he so powerful? His only abilities so far I can see are achieved using the stones in Avengers. His only visible power is strengt...
