Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1
Find the Horned Statue in Hateno Village
Explore the back alleys of Hateno Village near the researcher's house on the hill. Tucked along a wall, partially hidden, is a small demonic-looking statue with glowing eyes. Interact with it and the statue speaks, offering to buy your Heart Containers or Stamina Vessels for 100 rupees each and sell them back for 120 rupees.
2
Understand the Trade Mechanics
The Horned Statue allows you to convert Heart Containers into Stamina Vessels or vice versa at a net cost of 20 rupees per swap. Sell a container for 100 rupees, then buy the opposite type for 120 rupees. This is the only way outside of Goddess Statues to rebalance your health and stamina distribution after the fact.
3
Make Your Trade and Complete the Quest
Perform at least one transaction with the Horned Statue — either selling a Heart Container or Stamina Vessel and buying back the other type. The quest completes once you have engaged in the exchange. The statue remains available permanently afterward, so you can return whenever you want to rebalance your stats for specific challenges or dungeons.
