The creation myth of Hyrule has been passed down through the ages by Hylian scrolls and wise ones. According to this legend, before spirits and life existed, three golden goddesses descended from a distant nebula to bring order and life to the chaos that was Hyrule. The three golden goddesses were Din, goddess of power; Nayru, goddess of wisdom; and Farore, goddess of courage.

Din, with her strong flaming arms, dyed the mountains red with fire, cultivating land and creating the red earth. Nayru poured her wisdom onto the earth to give the spirit of law to the world, creating science and wizardry and bringing order to nature. Farore, with her rich soul and through justice and vigor, created the life forms that would uphold the law - the animals that crawl the land and the birds that soar in the sky.
