The sprawling world of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is teeming with new adventures for players to embark on.
For those who wish to revisit familiar locations from the previous game, the hidden Hylia Goddess statue in the Forgotten Temple within the Tanagar Canyon might pique their interest. In this guide, we will provide a detailed walkthrough on how to help the fallen statue and complete the accompanying side quests, ensuring that players can restore the glory of the Mother Goddess.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – All Mother Goddess Stature
Helping the Mother Goddess Statue: If players have already completed the Dragon’s Tears side quest about Hyrule’s Geoglyphs with Impa, they will likely find themselves in the Forgotten Temple within the Tanagar Canyon. They will discover that the once towering and majestic Goddess statue from Breath of the Wild has toppled over and fallen silent. However, there is a way to help her regain her former standing, albeit through a series of steps.
The location of the Mother Statue is at coordinates -1070, 2682, -0081.
Goddess Statue of Power Side Quest:
First, players need to locate the Spring of Power in Akkala, which dominates the northeastern region of Tears of the Kingdom’s map. At the Spring, there is a carved hole in the ground serving as a platform for the Goddess statue. Interact with the statue, and she will express her inability to sense the massive Mother Goddess Statue in the Forgotten Temple.
When Link informs her about the fallen statue, the Goddess will request a dragon part, specifically Dinraal’s Claw, to restore her power. Open Link’s inventory, hold Dinraal’s Claw, and drop it in front of the Goddess Statue. To hold and drop items in Tears of the Kingdom, access the main menu with the + button on the right Joy-Con. Navigate to the Materials menu using L or R, select the item to hold, press the X button, select up to five items, press A to hold the item, and finally press B to drop it.
How to Collect Dragon Parts:
In Tears of the Kingdom, the dragons no longer follow a strict timer-based schedule as in Breath of the Wild. Instead, they follow specific paths around the world. Players can wait near a chasm for the dragons to circle around. Here are the locations to spot each dragon:
- Dinraal: Stand guard over the East Akkala Plains Chasm to witness this dragon emerge from the underground.
- Farosh: Observe the dragon as it emerges from the East Gerudo Chasm during its route around the world.
- Naydra: Keep watch over the Naydra Snowfield Chasm, where this dragon appears every few in-game days.
When the dragon appears, use the ZR button to aim Link’s bow and slow down time. Take careful aim at the claw at the end of the dragon’s toes and shoot an arrow. Follow the trajectory of the claw as it falls to the ground and retrieve it.
Goddess Statue of Courage and Wisdom Side Quests:
While players can tackle these side quests in any order, they must provide each of the three statues with the respective dragon claws to complete the chain. Next, players 
visit the Spring of Courage in the Faron Grasslands, located at coordinates 0876, -2368, 0016, just south of the Jiukoum Shrine. Here, a Farosh Claw is required.
For the Goddess Statue of Wisdom, travel to the Spring of Wisdom at coordinates 3919, -1332, 0466, immediately east of the Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower. Drop Naydra’s Claw near the statue to fulfill this quest.
The Mother Goddess Statue Side Quest:
Once all three springs have been adorned with Tears of the Kingdom dragon claws, the statues will instruct Link to return to the Mother Statue in the Forgotten Temple within the Tanagar Canyon. Players can conveniently fast travel to the temple using the Mayausiy Shrine. Upon arrival, they will witness the awe-inspiring sight of the Mother Goddess Statue standing upright once again, emanating a radiant glow.
To conclude this momentous quest, players should approach the foot of the colossal Mother Goddess statue and offer a prayer. In recognition of Link’s perseverance and dedication, the statue will bestow upon him a special sword as a token of appreciation for his efforts.
With the completion of this intricate questline, players can revel in the satisfaction of restoring the fallen Hylia Goddess statue and witnessing its majestic revival. This accomplishment not only adds depth to the game’s lore but also rewards players with a powerful weapon to aid them in future adventures throughout Hyrule.
As you continue to explore The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, be prepared for further hidden quests and remarkable encounters that await you in the vast world of Hyrule. May your journey be filled with triumphs, discoveries, and unforgettable moments.
