Deity

There are many gods in the worlds around the land of Hyrule.

The most renowned of the divine are Din, Nayru, and Farore, the powerful Golden Godesses who created Hyrule and the Sacred Realm.

There are also several other major gods:


 * The Four Giants who created Termina and each watch over a cardinal domain
 * The Wind Fish, God of Dreams and creator of Koholint Island
 * The Ocean King, God of Life and protector of the Great Sea.

Guardian Deities are spirits who also watch over an associated tribe:


 * The Great Fairies are the Goddesses of Fortune and protectors of the people.
 * Lord Jabu-Jabu is the Water Spirit and god of the Sea Zora
 * The Great Deku Tree is the Forest Spirit and guardian of the Kokiri/Korok


 * The Desert Colossus is the Goddess of Sand and the guardian of the Gerudo
 * Valoo is the Sky Spirit and guardian of the Rito
 * Jabun is the Sea Spirit, and likely guardian of the Fishmen

The manga implies that Odolwa is the god of the Deku, though Odolwa may merely be a name for the Southern Giant they are known to worship in Majora's Mask.

There are also unaffiliated gods or spirits who dedicate themselves only to their element or superior deity.


 * The Owl, who assists the Wind Fish in watching over Koholint Isle.
 * The Season Spirits assist Din in ensuring the circadian cycle of the seasons.
 * Zephos and Cyclos are twin gods of wind. They do have a shrine to them, but it was destroyed by visitors.
 * Golden Chief Cylos is a wind spirit very similar to Zephos and Cyclos.
 * The Light Spirits assist the Goddesses in holding back the Twilight of the Interlopers.
 * The Ocean Spirits, who assist the Ocean King in protecting the Great Sea.

Finally, there are Devils ("Majin" in Japan) that serve as sources of evil in the series.


 * Nightmare, the ultimate form of the Shadow Nightmares who overpowered the Wind Fish, and leader of the Nightmare Tribe
 * Ganon, the God-King of Evil, strongly associated with the Dark Tribe. He has also been worshipped by the Gerudo, Deku, and Zant
 * Bongo-Bongo, an evil Shadow Spirit, strongly associated with the Poe
 * Majora, a manifestation of pure Spite, created by an Ancient Tribe
 * Vaati, the Wind Mage, who re-released the Monster Tribe upon the world
 * Bellum, the Phantom Devil, creator of the Phantom Tribe

Some say that Fierce Deity is the god of war or death, and guards the Sheikah, due to his strong resemblance to them.
