All Goddess Cube & Goddess Chest locations in Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD
NintendoIf you’re looking for extra items to aid you in your The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD quest, whether that be Rupees, Wallet upgrades, or Heart Pieces, you’re going to want to find all of the Goddess Cubes.
The Cubes are found on the Surface, and when struck with a Skyward Strike, will spawn a Goddess Chest in the Sky containing a reward. They’re scattered throughout the land and can be tricky to hunt down.
There are 27 Cubes and corresponding chests, with some needing certain upgrades and tools to reach so you won’t be able to claim all the loot until you’ve progressed in the game enough.
