I’m etching to talk about it…

Admittedly, this in itself isn’t really all that interesting.

So, it is clearly important.

The first thing that caught my eye about this design was, well, the eyes.

The eye in the middle of the design looks like a variation of the Crest of the Sheikah.

The near flood cascading down from it perhaps resembles the tribe’s extreme sacrifices in the upcoming Zelda game.

These could represent seven sages, perhaps, and their corresponding dungeons.

In the middle of this ‘tear cascade’ we can also see a claw-like hand.

We now come to the other eyes shown on this artwork, along with the markings depicted below them.

Lastly, there’s the mysterious text that encircles the entire artwork.

Maybe it is some kind of sealing chant…

So, perhaps it is the language of the sages tasked with sealing away Ganon?

Like I said, these are all theories.
