The Divine Beasts, although located, are still out of your grasp until you become stronger. You and your fellow adventurers have been assigned to collect more Stamina Vessels which help improve strength. This will be vital in your ability to traverse the vastness of Hyrule and scale treacherous mountains. You and your fellow adventurers aren't exactly sure where to begin though. Your only clue is to visit the Goddess Statues.
You decide to visit Kakariko Village on a hunch. One of your fellow adventurers recalled seeing a statue of some kind in the middle of a pond.
Since other adventurers had gone before, your path is pretty much set and it doesn't take you long at all to arrive. The village itself rests in the mountains and is well protected on all sides by hills and rock. Most of the villagers wear the same outfit. Mostly white robes with some red stripes. Some have pointed straw hats, others don't. All wear some form of wooden sandals.
As they go about their business, you begin to explore the town a bit. A lot of farming, sales, and tending to animals appear to be happening in the village. You can smell the earthen smell of freshly harvested carrots and pumpkins. The chickens cluck all around you as they peck seeds from the ground for eating. Children laugh as they run around playing their little games.
And as you round a corner, past the nearby store selling arrows and other goods, you find it. A lone Goddess Statue sits in the middle of a small pond.
You all look at each other and smile. You've found it! You walk up to it and give it a small prayer hoping something will happen, but it doesn't. You frown and try again, but it's as if the statue is lifeless.
You are about to give up when you turn around and a kid is looking at you.
You trying to make the statue bless you? It needs to be activated. I could show you how, but I need help. You see, I'm trying to make a stew for my mom's birthday but I keep messing up the recipe. Could you help me out? I'll make it worth your while.
You scratch your head. You don't really have time to be wasting, but you don't see another alternative as you are stumped. With a shrug to your comrades, you all decide to get cracking. You follow the kid to a nearby pot and he shows you some ingredients.
From your time having made food while traveling from town to town, you immediately realize he is trying to make a stew without proper vegetables and the right added flavors. You check your wallet and you have a few rupees to spare. You have the kid begin working on heating up the broth as you go to the nearby store to purchase the missing ingredients.
It takes about 20 minutes or so, but you finally return with the right ingredients. You quickly chop and add them alongside the delicious meat the kid had gathered. Within another 10-20 minutes, you have a delightful smelling stew. The kid beams at you. He picks up one of the burning sticks from the bottom of the pot and hands it to you, telling you to light the torches around the statue to give it life.
With the stick in hand you begin to wade around the pond, which is only about waist deep and slowly light the unlit torches.
Once the final one is lit, a beam of light emits from the statue.
You walk up to it.
Adventurers, you have done well to get this far, let me reward you with this Stamina Vessel. In addition, I will point out the locations of several more for you.
You hold your arms out as a green object that looks like a raindrop floats into your hands. It emits a warm green glow and then slowly absorbs into your body. You take a deep breath as a feeling of ability to push yourself farther flows throughout your body.
Once this is done your adventurers all pull out their sheikah slates as more dots appear on the screen. This appears to be where you need to head next.
You have successfully obtained a...
Stamina Vessel!
