Deity

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

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

There are also several other major gods:


 * 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
 * The Four Giants who watch over Termina
 * 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.
 * Turtle is implied to be of divine status.
 * 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 Servant Spirits, who assist the Ocean King in protecting the Great Sea.


 * The Fierce Deity is said to be of similar status as Majora.

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