Statue of the Goddess: Difference between revisions

The Statue of the Goddess is the massive statue that can be found watching over [[Skyloft]]. The statue is intended to resemble the goddess Hylia, the deity that fought off the [[Demon Tribe]] along with several other races that were assisting. This statue has a significant role throughout the story, from beginning to end. After the [[Wing Ceremony]], [[Zelda]] gives the [[Sailcloth]] to [[Link]] here. Link also first receives the [[Goddess Sword]] from [[Inside the Statue of the Goddess]], in addition to having his first encounter with [[Fi]]. It is also the place where he will put several tablets which will allow him to access various regions of the [[Surface]]. A similar Statue of the Goddess is found inside of the [[Isle of Songs]]. It appears whenever Link hits the [[Goddess Crest]] with a [[Skyward Strike]].

It is later revealed that beneath the giant statue lies [[Sky Keep]], ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'''s final [[dungeon]]. Sky Keep is where the [[Triforce]] is kept, and it was sealed away by the goddess herself. Once all Triforce pieces are collected, Link and Fi will appear on top of the statue with the completed Triforce. Afterwards, the Goddess Statue will break off from Skyloft and descend into the [[Sealed Grounds]], vanquishing [[Demise]] from the present. Once Demise is again defeated in the past, Link and Zelda appear on top of the statue yet again, this time with Link strumming the [[Goddess's Harp]].

There are many Statues of the Goddess in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. A large Statue of the Goddess can be found in the ruins of the [[Temple of Time#Breath of the Wild|Temple of Time]]. When approached, [[Link#Breath of the Wild|Link]] can pray to it. If Link possesses four [[Spirit Orb]]s, he can trade them for either a [[Heart Container#Breath of the Wild|Heart Container]] or a 20% increase in his [[Stamina Wheel]].  

Smaller statues can be found throughout ''Breath of the Wild'' in villages, such as [[Kakariko Village#Breath of the Wild|Kakariko Village]], and at Springs, such as the [[Jitan Sa'mi Shrine|Spring of Wisdom]]. These smaller statues can be prayed at for the same choice of upgrades; however, Link cannot pray at the statues in the Springs until the associated Shrine Quest is complete.
