Features and Overview
Breath of the Wild
The Statue of the Eighth Heroine is a Gerudo Ruin located on the northwestern end of the Gerudo Highlands. Several Updrafts and a pair of Ore Deposits can be found at its feet. It is of the same design as the statues of the Seven Heroines at the East Gerudo Ruins. The Statue is a monument to the Eighth Heroine, a protector of the Gerudo who is rumored to have existed, but she was removed from official Gerudo legends for unknown reasons.[5] Myths about the Eighth Heroine and her Statue are considered to be folklore inspired by the Seven Heroines.[6] According to Patricia, the Risoka Snowfield rests on the Statue's shoulders.[7] Since the Statue of the Eighth Heroine exists in a Freezing Climate, Link requires at leas two levels of Cold Resistance in order to visit it without taking damage.
As part of "The Eighth Heroine" Side Quest, Bozai tells Link to bring him a Picture of the Statue of the Eighth Heroine in return for his Sand Boots.[8] To aid Link in his journey, Bozai gives him the Snow Boots.[9] When Link brings back a Picture, Bozai will be shocked that the Statue actually exists.[10] He states that he will not tell anyone else the location of the Statue.[11] As he promised, Bozai then gives Link his Sand Boots.[12]

Show a picture of the eighth statue's torso to Bozai to get the sand boots. You've heard that there's someone well acquainted with the seven heroines' legend in Gerudo Town.

"Risoka Snowfield rests upon the shoulders of the eighth heroine..." A rare, pun-free prophecy...
— Padda (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Everyone's heard the legend in the Gerudo region about the seven heroines, but...some tell of an eighth heroine... Wiped clean from history, and no one knows why or how... A phantom heroine known to all but seen by none... I've been taken with the legend since I was a child. Find her! Show me the eighth heroine, and I'll give you these sand boots. What do you say?
— Bozai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Oh, and here... If you'd like, you can use these. I'm sure they'll come in handy. Besides, you seem really into boots.
— Bozai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
[Look at this!] That...certainly is...the way it was rumored to look... That— THAT'S AMAZING! I thought it was just an old wives' tale! The eighth heroine actually exists?!
— Bozai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
...But I won't tell anyone... Yeah, that way, it'll just be our little secret, right? Sort of a bonding thing.
— Bozai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Just a second. I'll take them off... Treat them as tenderly as you would me.
