The Statue of the Goddess is the largest and most prominent mark of religion in Skyloft, made in honor of the goddess Hylia. It is located on the Isle of the Goddess, which is connected with the island housing the Knight Academy and the Sparring Hall through a staircase. The statue depicts the goddess Hylia, who raised Skyloft from the Surface into the heavens in order to save the humans and protect the sacred Triforce from Demise. The ritual after the Wing Ceremony takes place at the top of the statue, wherein the winner playing the role of the chosen hero and the maiden playing the role of the goddess offer the Bird Statuette to the goddess.

The Goddess Sword was located inside the Chamber of the Sword for many years, watched over by a select few, including the Headmaster of the Knight Academy, while waiting for the hero chosen by the goddess Hylia 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 a rift in the clouds leading to the location of one of the three provinces on the Surface.

Around the Statue of the Goddess is a small path occupied by monsters and is where 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 Isle of The Goddess in which it was located on break off of Skyloft and descend toward the surface, landing in the Sealed Grounds and destroying Demise in the present. It fits perfectly into place in the Sealed Grounds from where it was taken, completing the previously damaged entrance to the Temple of Hylia.

Statues of the Goddess are scattered across all of Hyrule in, with the first one encountered inside the Temple of Time. Goddess Statues can also be found in villages, such as Kakariko, Rito Village, and Lurelin Village, and the Springs of Power, Wisdom, and Courage. Upon approaching any statue, Link can pray to it and offer up four NaN Spirit Orbs to receive either a Heart Container or a Stamina Vessel in exchange.
