'''Stone Statues''' are obstacles in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series. They first appear in the series titular game, ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]''. The right-facing statues resemble [[Zora]] while the left-facing statues resemble a dragon. In their debut appearance, Stone Statues appear in the first and last rooms of every [[dungeon|labyrinth]] for decoration. Some rooms have Stone Statues that spit out fireballs.


In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages]]'', the first room of every dungeon has two columns of three Stone Statues, and the columns are respectively left and right of Link. The Stone Statues have an entirely different appearance from ''The Legend of Zelda'', and their eyes always look in the direction of Link. Although this gives the impression that Stone Statues are living, they have no other role in the game.
'''Stone Statues''' are decorative objects and occasional obstacles in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]''. They have two basic designs, depending on the direction they face, and as they are scenery tiles, always share the dungeon's palette. The right-facing statues resemble a [[Zora]] while the left-facing statues resemble a dragon. In their debut appearance, Stone Statues appear in the first and last rooms of every [[dungeon|labyrinth]] for decoration. Some rooms have Stone Statues that spit out fireballs, often in groups. Since they are invincible, their projectiles cannot be halted.


[[Category:Obstacles]]
While the generic Stone Statues do not appear in later games barring reissues and ''[[BS Zelda no Densetsu]]'', various more specific types have taken their basic role. These include [[Ra]] and [[Mau]] in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'', [[Medusa]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', and [[Rocklops statue]]s in a few games.

Stone Statues are decorative objects and occasional obstacles in The Legend of Zelda. They have two basic designs, depending on the direction they face, and as they are scenery tiles, always share the dungeon's palette. The right-facing statues resemble a Zora while the left-facing statues resemble a dragon. In their debut appearance, Stone Statues appear in the first and last rooms of every labyrinth for decoration. Some rooms have Stone Statues that spit out fireballs, often in groups. Since they are invincible, their projectiles cannot be halted.

While the generic Stone Statues do not appear in later games barring reissues and BS Zelda no Densetsu, various more specific types have taken their basic role. These include Ra and Mau in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, Medusa from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Rocklops statues in a few games.
