Statue of the Goddess

The Statue of the Goddess, also known as The Isle of the Goddess, is the largest and most prominent mark of religion in Skyloft. It appears in SS undefined, and was made in honor of the goddess Hylia.

Appearance and Features
The Statue of the Goddess is located on a separate island than that of Skyloft, connected by a staircase. It depicts the goddess Hylia, who raised Skyloft from the Surface into the heavens in order to save the humans and protect the Triforce. The ritual after the Wing Ceremony takes place at the top of the statue, wherein the winner and the maiden playing the role of the goddess offer the Bird Statuette to the goddess.

The Goddess Sword was located inside the statue for many years, watched over by the Headmasters of the Knight Academy while waiting for the hero chosen by the goddess to arrive. Subsequently it is also the home of Fi, the spirit who exists inside the sword. It also contains a small carving where Link can place the three stone tablets: The Amber Tablet, the Ruby Tablet, and the Emerald Tablet, which each reveal the location of one of the three provinces on the Surface.

Around the Statue of the Goddess is a small path occupied by monsters which Fi guides Link through when first leading him to the Goddess Sword. Hidden under the Statue of the Goddess is the final dungeon of the game, the Sky Keep, from where Link can access the areas of the Silent Realm where the Triforce is located.

When Link obtains the Triforce and wishes for Demise to be destroyed, the Statue of the Goddess and the island it was located on break off of Skyloft and descend toward the surface, landing in the Sealed Grounds and imprisoning Demise in the present forever. It fits perfectly into place in the Sealed Grounds from where it was taken, completing the previously damaged entrance to the Temple of Hylia.
