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]], [[Princess Zelda|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's crest with a [[Skyward Strike]].
The '''Statue of the Goddess''' is a huge [[Goddess Statue]] made in the likeness of the goddess [[Hylia]]. It appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' and possibly ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.

==''Skyward Sword''==
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]].
