Deity

There are many beings that have been worshiped in the Zelda series. The Golden Goddesses are the main gods/goddesses that the world worships. The other deities are worshiped for smaller reasons. (Such as lack of rain or bad harvest). It is assumed that many temples are dedicated to these beings. For example, the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time is used to worship a group of unidentified water spirits. They cannot use the Triforce, although they can sacrifice their divinity to be reborn in mortal form.

Major Deities
The most renowned of the divine are the omnipotent Golden Goddesses, who created Hyrule and the Sacred Realm. They are:
 * Din, The Goddess of Power.
 * Nayru, The Goddess of Wisdom.
 * Farore, The Goddess of Courage.

There are also several other major gods:


 * Hylia, the goddess trusted with the ultimate power by the Ancient Gods.
 * The Wind Fish, creator of Koholint Island.
 * The Ocean King, protector of the World of the Ocean King.

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


 * 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.
