After Link collects the three Pearls of the Goddesses, he must place them on their respective statues. The last pearl Link places will cause the statue to explode, revealing the true statue underneath. Using the pearl, the first statue shoots a beam of light at the second, breaking it open. The second statue repeats the process to break open the third. The beams of light stretching between the three Triangle Islands form an outline of the Triforce that briefly appears on the Great Sea. In the center, the Tower of the Gods rises from beneath the ocean depths, serving as Link's final test before gaining access to Hyrule.
