The Goddess of Time is a character mentioned in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. A great deity mentioned a few times by Tatl, it is revealed in a flashback that the goddess is responsible for Link's ability to travel back in time to the dawn of the First Day whenever he sees fit.
[edit] Role in Majora's Mask
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
When Link reclaims his Ocarina of Time from the Skull Kid, he remembers a meeting with Princess Zelda prior to leaving Hyrule. In this memory, Princess Zelda tells him that if he is ever in need of assistance, he should play the "Song of Time", and the Goddess of Time will come to his aid. It is also probable, though never explicitly stated, that the goddess also allows Link to manipulate time with the "Inverted Song of Time" and "Song of Double Time", although Bonooru is the one who mentions these songs.
