The Golden Goddesses is a recurring group in the Legend of Zelda series. The most powerful creatures in the Legend of Zelda mythos, these Deities created the world and all the realms it holds. They also created life. The Golden Goddesses, Din, Farore, and Nayru, are portrayed everywhere as three beautiful young women with enormous powers who reside in the heavens. Upon departure from Hyrule, they left the Triforce, the essence of their power, behind.

[edit] Goddesses
[edit] Din
According to the Great Deku Tree, Din, "with her strong flaming arms, cultivated the land and created the red earth." Din, the Goddess of Power, formed the terrain of Hyrule. She is closely associated with the Triforce of Power and its holder, Ganondorf. The Oracle of Seasons, Din of Holodrum, is named after the Goddess of Power, but is not the same character.
[edit] Farore
Farore, "with her rich soul, created all the living inhabitants in the world to uphold the law." She is associated with the Triforce of Courage and Link. The oracle, Farore is named after the goddess, but is not the same character.
[edit] Nayru
Nayru is the goddess that "poured her wisdom onto the earth and gave the spirit of law to the world." She is revered for creating the laws and physics of the universe that keep it in order. As the goddess of wisdom, she is associated with the Triforce of Wisdom and Princess Zelda. Because of her part in creating the laws of the universe, it is possible that she is the Goddess of Time referred to in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. The Oracle of Ages, Nayru of Labrynna is named after her, but is not the same character.
[edit] Light Spirits
Three of the four Light Spirits and their respective springs in Twilight Princess were each named after the Golden Goddesses; Eldin for Din, Faron for Farore, and Lanayru for Nayru.
