In order to keep the sacred power from falling into the hands of Demise, Hylia also hid the portals to the three pieces of the Triforce within [[Sky Keep]], and enshrined the [[Goddess Sword]] inside the Statue of the Goddess, leaving it to be found by a [[Link#Skyward Sword|chosen hero]] when the time was right.<ref>{{Cite|I've had my suspicions, but until now I wasn't sure.
