Prophesy
The excerpt provided by Buzz Buzz is as follows:
"When the chosen boy reaches the point, he will find the light. The passing of time will shatter the nightmare rock and will reveal the path of light."
"The point" refers to the 8 Sanctuary Locations and "the light" likely refers to the 8 Melodies. The nightmare rock may refer to Ness's Nightmare or the Mani Mani Statue. Most likley it refers to the former, as once Ness's Nightmare is defeated in battle, Ness is told to go to Saturn Valley where he travels back in time to defeat Giygas. Due to Buzz Buzz's untimely death, the full, specific contents of the prophesy are never revealed. The prophesy also mentions Paula, Jeff, and [Poo]], but only in ambiguous terms. Pokey mentions that the Apple's prophesy didn't predict his involvement. This is possibly because Pokey was not originally involved until Buzz Buzz unintentionally informed him of Giygas's invasion.
