Complete The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's 'A Deal With the Statue' side quest. Learn how to find the Forbidden Horned Statue, exchange hearts for stamina, and get your rewards.
- 1After completing your first temple (any of the four will do), return to Lookout Landing.
- 2Go to the Emergency Shelter. You'll notice a new hole in the wall near an NPC named Jerrin.
- 3Speak with Jerrin to accept the 'Who Goes There?' side quest.
- 4Crouch down and enter the new pathway, which leads to the Royal Hidden Passage.
- 5Upon entering, you'll see a gate. To its right are breakable rocks.
- 6Break the rocks to reveal the Horned Statue.
- 7Speak with the Horned Statue to initiate 'A Deal With the Statue'. The statue will take one of your hearts.
- 8Speak with the statue again to choose whether to gain stamina or have your heart returned.
- 9After completing the exchange, speak with Jerrin again to receive a Red Rupee.
How to Use the Horned Statue:
The Horned Statue allows you to exchange one heart container for 100 Rupees, or one segment of your stamina wheel for 100 Rupees. You can then pay the statue 120 Rupees to get the heart container back or to regain the stamina segment. This effectively allows you to convert hearts into stamina or stamina into hearts, with a small profit of 20 Rupees per exchange.
Limitations:
- You cannot completely deplete your hearts or stamina using the statue.
- You cannot gain more hearts or stamina than the game's maximum limits allow.
- Once you reach maximum health and stamina, you can only sell and buy back your essence.
- This mechanic is useful for temporarily gaining more stamina for challenging platforming sections or combat if you are skilled at dodging, or for gaining extra hearts if stamina is not a concern.
- The statue can be a good way to earn a small amount of Rupees if you have excess hearts or stamina and need cash.
- Red Rupee (from Jerrin after completing the quest).
