School Notes
The School Notes are an Object in Tears of the Kingdom.[1]
Location and Uses
The School Notes are a series of student evaluations kept in a Book by Symin.[2] They can be found on the second floor of the Hateno School in Hateno Village. The Notes are meant to be read by Zelda.[3]
The School Notes contain profiles on each of the four children attending the Hateno School. In Aster's entry, Symin recounts how she seemed upset after her House was bought by Cece, but she became cheerful again after realizing she could find Frogs near her new home.[4] Karin's entry notes how perceptive she is, revealing that she noticed her peers were not as interested in Vegetabless by counting the stock at the East Wind.[3] For Azu, Symin recalls how he often plays as a hero, and people have been acting more upright as a result.[5] Lastly, in Sefaro's entry, Symin claims that he shows an interest in learning, though his father Sayge seems to want him to work at the Kochi Dye Shop instead.[6] The final page of the School Notes is a personal message to Zelda, wherein Symin wishes her well before she leaves to investigate the appearance of Gloom at Hyrule Castle.[7]
Transcription
Aster is one of Medda's children. She's a very active girl.
I believe we have Medda to thank for that charming bob cut she sports.
She loves her father and always wants to talk about his comings and goings.
Lately, she's been especially focused on the Hylian tomatoes Medda is growing.
For a time, she seemed out of sorts after Ms. Cece bought their house next to the clothing shop.
But she was back to her usual bright self soon enough, noting that her new home is cute, colorful, and "close to froggy."
She has a real knack for finding the silver lining in every situation!
Karin is the only daughter of the mayor and his wife. She's kind-hearted but shy, and seems to lack self-confidence.
She's very perceptive though. She has a way of seeing right to the core of things.
I'm sure you know, Princess, that Mayor Reede has been breeding vegetables to appeal to the younger generation.
It was Karin who first noticed that her peers were losing interest in produce.
She figured this out based on nothing but the number of customers and total items in stock at the general store.
I see her one day becoming a scholar to rival Purah. Possibly even surpassing her!
Azu is the brother of Ivee from the general store. But he'll tell you his true identity is A-Zoom, the "big time hero"!
He and Sefaro used to be inseparable.
But ever since the dye shop started getting more clients, A-Zoom has been left to patrol after school alone.
Although his mother is Amira, one of the town gossips, he keeps a close eye of his own on the goings-on within the village.
It may seem like simple child's play, but people really do straighten up when they know they're being watched.
As long as he's on patrol, I think we have nothing to fear in Hateno Village from any would-be evildoers.
Sefaro is the son of Sayge from the dye shop. He's a bit of a firebrand, but also one of my brightest students.
After class, he always selects a book to read quietly by himself.
He already reads at an adult level and doesn't shy away from difficult subjects, such as the Calamity.
The family business has been booming ever since Cece came to town, which may make it hard for him to study at home.
Sayge has an artisan's spirit and would rather have his son helping out at the store than going to school.
But everyone learns differently. I want our school to be a place where children can get an education no matter their needs.
I understand you'll be headed soon to Hyrule Castle to investigate the reports of strange phenomena there.
I trust you'll be fine with Link at your side. Nevertheless, I can't shake this strange tightness in my chest.
It's similar to what I felt right before the Calamity, come to think of it.
The children know you as Ms. Zelda, their beloved teacher and mentor.
But I know that Princess Zelda's duties are wider-ranging than that. Take care, Princess, and return to us soon.
