The Legend of Zelda Fan Creates Hylia Statue Replica

gamerant.com:

The most recent mainline Legend of Zelda title remains The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and one of the main staples from Skyward Sword, the Hylia Statue, carried forward to the Nintendo Switch title. Since its 2017 release, Breath of the Wild fans have been discovering hidden details in the land 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 from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild specifically, 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 in Breath of the Wild due to the difference in time illustrated by the game's plot. Notably different from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword's Hylia Statues, Ediothian's figure isn't simply aged, but it has many little details not present in the Skyward Sword version of these objects.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword differs from Breath of the Wild in 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 damaged Breath of the Wild's Hylia Statues are compared to the Skyward Sword model, the older title has a smoother and cleaner look to the figures than the former. Just like the in-game model, the Breath of the Wild statue created by Ediothian has much more detail from the color blending to its facial features.
