The Statue of the Goddess is a statue made in the likeness of the goddess Hylia. It appears in Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild.

Appearances

Skyward Sword

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, rallying other races to imprison Demise. This statue has a significant role throughout the story, from beginning to end. After his victory in the Wing Ceremony, Zelda gives the Sailcloth to Link atop the statue as part of the Ceremony of the Goddess. Link also first receives the Goddess Sword from Inside the Statue of the Goddess, as part of 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, Skyward Sword's final dungeon. Sky Keep is where the Triforce is kept, where it was sealed away by Hylia herself. Once all Triforce pieces are collected, Link and Fi will appear on top of the statue with the completed Triforce. On Link's wish, the Goddess Statue will break off from Skyloft and descend into the Sealed Grounds, crushing and killing The Imprisoned. 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.

Breath of the Wild

While Goddess Statues are present in every settlement and Hylia's sacred springs, the only one which may be the Statue of the Goddess which once adorned Skyloft and the Sealed Grounds sits in the Forgotten Temple. By far the largest remaining statue, it is described by the monks as the "oldest Statue of the Goddess".

Non-Canon Appearances

Hyrule Warriors

The Statue of the Goddess is present on the Skyloft stage. The Statue Keep is located under it, where Link meets Fi in the Land in the Sky Legend Mode scenario.

Trivia

  • The Statue of the Goddess seen in Skyloft has a real world similarity to the Christ the Redeemer statue that looks over Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
