{{Term/Store|Owl Statue|Owl Statues|Series, LA, LADX, MM|plural}} are a recurring object in {{TLoZ|Series}}.<ref name="E 140"/><ref>{{Cite Book|type= Guide|quote= |game= SS|publisher= Prima|page= 17}}</ref>

In {{LA|DX}}, Owl Statues are located inside every [[Dungeon]]. They reside on walls with a hole where its beak should be. After Link finds a [[Stone Beak]], he can attach it to an Owl Statue to receive hints on [[Puzzle]]s, enemies, [[Sub-Boss]]es, or the Dungeon's [[Boss]].<ref name="E 140"/> They replace [[Stone Slab]]s from {{LA|-}}, being identical in every way but name and appearance. Link will not understand the Owl Statue's hints until he attaches a Stone Beak to it.<ref>{{Cite|This owl statue is trying to say something, but you can't understand it because it has no beak.|N/A|LADX}}</ref>

In {{MM}}, Owl Statues are made in the likeness of [[Kaepora Gaebora]],<ref>{{Cite|Hoo-Hoot! We meet again, fairy child! Have my stone statues been of help?|Kaepora Gaebora|MM}}</ref> who resides in [[Termina]]. After learning the "[[Song of Soaring]]", Link can [[Warping|warp]] to any Owl Statue he has activated; the statues are activated by striking them with a [[Sword]]. They also serve as save points where Link can save and quit, although they are temporary saves, as the only way to fully save is by playing the "[[Song of Time]]." When Link saves in an Owl Statue, an Owl mark will appear next to the game file.

In {{MM3D}}, Owl Statues need to be checked instead of hit with the Sword to activate them, and now permanently save Link's progress. Additionally, some Owl Statues were relocated. '''Quill Statues''', a new type of statue, were also added; these statues allow saving, but cannot be warped to with the "Song of Soaring."<ref>{{Cite web|quote= Thanks to owl statues and quill statues found throughout Termina, you can now save your adventure at any time. But be warned: returning to the dawn of the first day no longer automatically saves your progress.|author= Nintendo|published= |retrieved= March 23, 2015|url= https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-3DS/The-Legend-of-Zelda-Majora-s-Mask-3D-941070.html|title= What's new?|site= Nintendo UK Official Site|type=}}</ref> Quill Statues appear all across Termina, including inside dungeons.

In {{OoA}} and {{OoS}}, giving a [[Mystery Seed]] to a statue will cause it to raise its wings and give advice on a nearby challenge.<ref>{{Cite|Do not forget to give me Mystery Seeds.|Owl Stone|OoS}}</ref> In [[Holodrum]], Owl Statues are known as '''Owl Stones'''.<ref>{{Cite|Owl Stones are mystic statues that give advice when a certain seed is placed on them!|Know-It-All Birds|OoS}}</ref>

*[[Great Bridge of Hylia]]

In addition to these, five more Owl Statues can be found. The first one is located in Renado's basement near Shad, although it lacks a hole to react to the Dominion Rod. The other two are located in the cemetery of [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]]. They do not hide Sky Characters, but allow Link access to a [[Key]]. The final pair are found in the first part of the [[Temple of Time (Twilight Princess)|Temple of Time]]. One blocks the path to a [[Heart Piece]], while the other hides a [[Poe]].

{{Sectstub|HW|HWL}}

In {{HW|L}}, Owl Statues based on their {{MM|-}} appearance can be used in conjunction with a golden [[Ocarina]]. Warriors can find Statues spread all across a Stage. The Statues can be activated by interacting with them and can be later reached immediately by playing the Ocarina. Playing the Ocarina allows the Warrior to select any of the active Owl Statues and warp to the selected Statue via a cyclone.
