Deity

There are many beings that have been worshiped in the Zelda series. The Golden Goddesses are the main deities that the world worships. 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.
