=== Temples and the Ancient Tablet ===
Glowing, levitating Goddess Crests are found in the [[Statue of the Goddess]] in [[Skyloft]], [[Skyview Spring]] in [[Skyview Temple]], the [[Earth Spring]] in the [[Earth Temple]], and the [[Isle of Songs]]. Triggering the first with a Skyward Strike raises the altar on which the Ancient Tablet is to be assembled, while the second and third grant recorded messages from Hylia and access to the [[Ruby Tablet|Ruby]] and [[Amber Tablet]]s. The fourth is used in the quest for the [[Sacred Flames]].

The Goddess Crest also sometimes appears on the walls of [[dungeon]]s. Charging up a Skyward Strike and then drawing the form of a consumable item (e.g. [[Recovery Heart]]s, [[Rupee]]s, [[Bomb]]s, [[Arrow]]s) where the symbol is will lead to that item appearing. Drawing the [[Triforce]] will produce [[Fairy|Fairies]].

===Spirit Orb===
{{Main|Spirit Orb}}
In {{BotW}}, whenever the trial of an [[Ancient Shrine]] is completed, that shrine's [[Monk]] will give {{Term|BotW|Link}} a Spirit Orb, which contains the Goddess Crest in the center, before fading away, his duty to the Goddess fulfilled.


==Symbolism==
==Nomenclature==
{{theory}}
{{Nomenclature}}
Preceding its various [[Loftwing]]-inspired variations, the Goddess Crest lacks bird-like features except for wings. Because it is the symbol of of the goddess Hylia, who is almost always symbolised as having had angelic wings, it is possible that the original Goddess Crest alone is depicting Hylia herself, meaning that the future Hylian Crest and Royal Crests are a combination of both Hylia and the Loftwings.
