Prologue
Long ago, far before time began and the sun shone down on this land, the three Goddesses, Din, Nayru, and Farore, descended upon the shapeless mass of the world, moving through space to create a world worthy of their offspring. Din, eldest of the three sisters, the Goddess of Power, formed the rocks and soil. Nayru, second of the three, and Goddess of Wisdom, brought water, and gave life to the winds and flames, and gave birth to love. Farore, youngest of the three, Goddess of Courage, populated the lands her sisters had created with plants and sentient beings. In the deserts, she created a group of thieves called the Gerudo, to serve her eldest sister. In thanks, Din created the Gorons, the mountain dwellers, and showed her sister. Nayru smiled upon the seas, and from her reflection, the first Zora was born. Realizing that she herself had no race to worship her, Farore scooped some of Din's soil into her hand, and dipped it in the waters of Nayru's sea. She molded the earth in her hands into the form of a small elven child. This she named the Kokiri, and placed them in a forest, far from the worries of her sisters' tribes.
One day, the three goddesses gathered in the sky above their newly forged world. Together, they shaped the Hylians, a race created in their own image, and gave them charge over the new world, naming it 'Hyrule'. Then, they created a beacon, an object meant to be an aid to their people: a powerful artifact with the ability to summon the goddesses. They split it into pieces, and bound certain individuals across the expanse of time to it. These individuals were now the carriers of an ancient blessing, and a deadly curse. They were just as much a part of the Golden Power as it was a part of them. Their work completed, the sisters ascended, tracing their destinies into the stars.
