The most recent mainlineLegend of Zeldatitle remainsThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and one of the main staples fromSkyward Sword, the Hylia Statue, carried forward to the Nintendo Switch title. Since its 2017 release,Breath of the Wildfans have been discovering hidden details in theland of Hyrule, formulating ideal strategies for the game’s dangerous enemies, and creating unique fan art and figures based on the title before its sequel is released.Twitter user Ediothian recently created a physical version of a Hylia Statue fromThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildspecifically, complete with foliage growing up the figure from its base. The lively plant life on the Hylia Statue reflects how nature is slowly reclaiming these stone pillars inBreath of the Wilddue to the difference in time illustrated by the game’s plot. Notably different fromThe Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword’s Hylia Statues, Ediothian’s figure isn’t simply aged, but it has many little details not present in theSkyward Swordversion of these objects.RELATED:Breath of the Wild Player Finds Invisible LavaThe Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sworddiffers fromBreath of the Wildin many ways, most significantly in its brighter color pallet and less apocalyptic world, and that’s no different when comparing Hylia Statues from both games. Because of how much more heavily damagedBreath of the Wild’s Hylia Statues are compared to theSkyward Swordmodel, the older title has a smoother and cleaner look to the figures than the former. Just like the in-game model, theBreath of the Wildstatue created by Ediothian has much more detail from the color blending to its facial features.
Around the part of Ediothian’s Hylia Statue where the green dissipates into gray as the leaves and branches give way to the stone, there are several geometric shapes highlighted in white on the figure. Above the statue’s folded arms is an oval opening in the robe that shows the expressionless face of the goddessHyliaunderneath. The robe ripples downward from the clasped hands, showing more detail in Ediothian’sBreath of the Wildcreation than previous iterations of the Hylia Statue.
Ediothian’s figure is fittingly complete with angelic wings which extend to either side from behind the goddess' robe, but the sticks and moss used for its bottom half are what bring the fan creation to life. InThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, these statues are typically visited for players to spendSpirit Orbson more Heart Containers or Stamina Vessels. It’s currently unclear if Ediothian’s Hylia Statue shines with light when activated as the object does inThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but it may be made for a natural light source considering Ediothian’s attention to detail.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildis available now for Nintendo Switch.
