{{Term/Store|Goddess Cube|Goddess Cubes|Series, SS, SSHD|plural}} are ornate metallic cubes scattered across the [[Hyrule|Surface]] in {{SS}}.<ref name="Fi">{{Cite|Master Link...This treasure-chest-like object is a relic of ancient times, left by the goddess for her chosen hero. It would appear that each chest responds to the energy released when a specific Goddess Cube is launched skyward, releasing its lock mechanism. Search for Goddess Cubes in the lands below and send them into the air. It is the only way to open these chests.|Fi|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|I even thought up a name for these things. I have been calling them {{Color|SSHD Blue|Goddess Cubes}}! Makes sense, right?|Gorko|SSHD}}</ref> Each cube, bearing the [[Goddess Crest]], is the key to a specific one of the chests that the goddess [[Hylia]] left throughout [[The Sky]].<ref name="Fi"/>

In the [[Deep Woods]], a [[Goron]] traveler named [[Gorko]] tells [[Link]] that he is researching about mysterious metallic cubes, which ancient texts say was left for the Goddess's Hero in order to aid him in his quest, able to be unlocked using a [[Skyward Strike]].<ref>{{Cite|If I remember right... Yup, this is one of the things the goddess was said to have left behind for the hero of legend. Pretty amazing, right? I even thought up a name for these things. I have been calling them Goddess Cubes! Makes sense, right?|Gorko|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Those ancient texts say some real interesting stuff about these things. How did it go again? Let me see, uh... "Summon forth the light from a heavenly blade, and may that sword's master receive aid." So there you have it.|Gorko|SS}}</ref> When Link uses the Skyward Strike on a Goddess Cube, it will transform into light and shoot into the sky.<ref>{{Cite|WHOOOA! Did you see that?! The cube just shot up into the sky! I think it reacted to that whirly-beam thing that shot out of your sword.|Gorko|SS}}</ref>

These beams unlock [[Goddess's Treasure Chest]]s scattered throughout the sky, which often contain treasures more valuable than those in regular chests, such as [[Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]], [[Rupee|Gold Rupees]] and [[Medal]]s. Activated chests appear light purple in color; however, chests that are not activated appear dark gray in color and cannot be opened. Once Link returns to [[The Sky]] after activating a Goddess Cube, [[Fi]] will inform Link that she can detect an energy reaction given off by chests in the sky and will mark the locations of activated chests on his map.<ref>{{Cite|Master [Link]... When you hit that Goddess Cube with a Skyward Strike earlier, I was able to detect a resulting energy reaction above the clouds. The location I have marked on your map indicates the spot where I sensed an energy reaction.|Fi|SS}}</ref>

Below is a list of Goddess Cube locations, as well as their corresponding Goddess's Treasure Chests. The order is based on order of availability of the Goddess Cubes rather than chronological place appearance. However, some Goddess's Treasure Chests are unobtainable until venturing further in the game, despite the availability of the Goddess Cubes.

*According to Gorko, both the Goddess Cubes and the Goddess's Treasure Chests are made out of an unknown metal.<ref>{{Cite|This cube is made of some sort of metal I have never seen. I have whaled on it, but nothing happens.|Gorko|SS}}</ref>

*These Goddess Cubes are similar to the [[Time Block]]s found in {{OoT}}, considering that they are helpful to Link throughout his journey.

*The Goddess Cubes are some of the only bump-mapped objects in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, along with [[Medli's Harp]] and the [[Mirror Shield]] from {{TWW}}.
