The Elegy of Emptiness creates a statue in the form that Link is currently in. For instance, if Link is currently wearing the Zora mask when this song is played, he will leave a statue in the form of a Zora where he is. Since Link has up to four forms, he is capable of leaving up to four statues. This is used to solve puzzles in the Ikana Canyon. Using the song elsewhere will produce no effect.
The replica that is created is not actually a replica of Link but a replica of the spirit that inhabits that spot so the form created will be similar to those that the various masks were claimed from. These statues will also have attributes similar to the creatures they replicate. For instance, making a Goron statue is useful for pressing buttons since it is a rather large and heavy statue. These statues can also be used to block a variety of projectiles.
