Although many of the details of the [[Era of the Goddess Hylia]] — including the existence of the [[Surface]] and [[Era of the Goddess Hylia#Hylia's Two Plans|Hylia's two plans]] — are forgotten by all except the few keepers of the legends,{{Ref|''Hyrule Historia'', pg. 72|The keepers of the legends protect the secrecy of the ancient documents about the Surface and the Goddess Sword, which is located in the Statue of the Goddess.}} the inhabitants still revere Hylia as their divine protector. The [[Statue of the Goddess]] towering over Skyloft from the [[Isle of the Goddess]] serves as the site of the annual{{Ref|''Hyrule Historia'', pg. 73|This year, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Knight Academy, the Sailcloth is given to the champion atop the Statue of the Goddess.}} [[Ceremony of the Goddess]].

The seeds of one of Hylia's plans are hidden within the Isle of the Goddess. The [[Goddess Sword]] and its spirit [[Fi]] reside [[Inside the Statue of the Goddess]]. The [[Triforce]] is also hidden deep inside, within [[Sky Keep]].
