Also, dev: Please, please consider adding more auto-save locations or just a manual save function. Please. It isn't fun to have to do hours and hours of progress all over again, or to exit a world, have the game autosave, and then re-enter the world to find all your interactions and puzzle solving have been lost. It isn't practical to keep the game open for 3 days just to not lose puzzle progress.

Hi Sonia-
The way you solve for the yellow runes is the exact same way you solve for the pink ones. The buttons on each of the two pillars beneath the rooms reveal the order needed to enter them.

Hi. I ran into a similar problem, and I was stumped on this puzzle. I bombed both walls to open up the rooms and stepped on both switches on the lower platforms to reveal all the pink/yellow symbols. I know it's a 4-input sequence and I've tried every combination of each 4 symbols for pink that I can think of. I have to assume that I should only be pushing the buttons that match colors (so, the pink room must be some combination of the pink symbols, with no yellow).

I tried to follow the imgur link you posted there, but it didn't load on my desktop browsers (the Firefox fork LibreWolf and default Microsoft Edge). Strangely, my Android smartphone browser did get it to load.

Ah, I see. I had no idea the symbols were paired 1 + 3, 2 + 4 next to each hookshot point. It never would have occurred to me that I should have entered them in that order.

Most of the game has been fun and fairly stimulating so far, and perhaps I simply needed to be less dumb, but this puzzle being so deep in the Forest of Whispers feels like eating dish soap for dessert after a steak dinner. The lack of any kind of save system exacerbates the problem, and on this level in particular I think you would be totally justified in putting a checkpoint after arriving at the tree with Thera.

Alright, after going through the Forest of Whispers again, I can say that retracing my steps isn't TOO bad if I know where everything is. But I still think exchanging 40 minutes of fun puzzles for 10 minutes of tedium is worth having a checkpoint near the tree.

Also, the circle clue in the root maze was misleading for me since I thought the fairy spring itself was supposed to be the circle. Maybe if the spring itself weren't circular and the crack in the wall were more obvious I wouldn't have gotten tripped up.
