These three Spirits, and by extension the provinces in their charge, each represent an important, recurring natural aspect of Hyrule - Forest, Fire, and Water. These elements hae been incorperated into Divine Relics throughout Hyrule's history, each specifically tied to the Goddess it most embodies (see the [[Spiritual_Stones#Kokiri.27s_Emerald|Spiritual Stone of the Forest]], also known as the Kokiri's Emerald, the [[Spiritual_Stones#Goron's Ruby|Spiritual Stone of Fire]], also known as the Goron's Ruby, and the [[Spiritual_Stones#Zora's Sapphire|Zora's Sapphire]], also known as the Zora's Sapphire. Additionally, see [[Goddess_Pearls#Din.27s_Pearl|Din's Pearl]], [[Goddess_Pearls#Farore's Pearl|Farore's Pearl]], and [[Goddess_Pearls#Nayru's Pearl|Nayru's Pearl]]). This is in agreement with each Spirit's name containing all, or part of, the name of the Goddess symbolized by their respective elements - El''din'', ''Faro''n, and La''nayru''.
