In Phantom Hourglass, Link first encounters a Tribal Head Statue in the northern part of Molida Island. Here, he must activate the three statues scattered around and focus their light beam on the entrance of the Temple of Courage, which will grant the hero access to it.[1]
A single Tribal Head Statue is also located in Mercay Island near the Temple of the Ocean King. To access it, Link must go through a cave which will take him to a higher portion of the island. Once again, Link can activate the statue's ray of light by hitting it with his Sword. By shining the beam parallel between the Temple of the Ocean King and Mercay Island, the Tribal Head Statue will reveal a bombable wall in the direction of its ray.[2]
