Nayru (Goddess)

Nayru is one of the three creator goddesses of Hyrule. With her sisters, Din and Farore, she created the world in which Hyrule resides. According to Ocarina of Time, Nayru "poured her wisdom onto the earth and gave the spirit of law to the world." Upon leaving Hyrule, she left her part of the Triforce, the Triforce of Wisdom, in the Sacred Realm.

Nayru, the Goddess of Wisdom, is revered for creating the laws and physics of the universe that keep it in order. Her strength is defense magic, and her spell is Nayru's Love, which protects the user from damage as long as it is in effect. She is also said to have possessed Nayru's Pearl, which is named for her.

Because of her part in creating the laws of the universe, it is possible that she is the Goddess of Time referred to in Majora's Mask. She was also the master of time in Oracle of Ages, strengthening this theory. Another hypothesis is that Ocarina of Time's Temple of Time may be dedicated to Nayru.

In Twilight Princess, the Lanayru Province is a named after her. The majority of Lanayru is made up of water, from Zora's Domain to Lake Hylia. Water is represented by the color blue, and so it is associated with Nayru.

Zelda is the holder of the Triforce of Wisdom. She lives in Lanayru Province.
