Most always think that Gods know what they're doing, but that is quite a lie. Most Gods were formed by the belief of men many, many years ago, before the concept of right and wrong were invented; thus explaining why many Gods throughout history made so many mistakes... and continue to make them even now.
This is certainly the case when it comes to the four Goddesses of Hyrule. They were formed by the imagination of one man, in a universe where most ceased depending on their Gods; inventing things themselves without a God's help. This man made the four Goddesses in his mind, giving them powers unique to each, and allowing them to create a world of their own to rule over so that he may bring their story to life in his universe. Through a concept called a "Video Game".
Many years passed since then, the Goddesses finished creating their world; creating beings to make a living within, to uphold their law and allow the world to prosper greatly and peacefully. But, with good comes evil, and thus a Demon Lord was made to balance out the good. His name was Demise.
After many battles to keep one virtue from overpowering the other, the Goddesses had declared themselves and their people victorious. It was at that moment they made a grave mistake, for there are no winners in a battle to keep balance; only a mutual truce of sorts. But, the Goddesses, blinded by their "victory", sealed Demise away, causing the world to become very unbalanced.
And yet, even though the Goddesses sealed the evil away, they knew he would return for another battle.
"I... certainly do not wish to battle any longer." One of the four Goddesses, Din, spoke to the others as they sat within their temple. She knitted her brows angrily. "I am getting tired of this nonsense, sisters." Din placed her hand on her side, sighing.
Hylia, another Goddess, breathed out lightly. "I understand, sister Din. I have been thinking for a while, and..." She trailed off, her eyes cast down toward the floor in nervousness.
"It is true, Demise will return countless times to challenge us to a battle, threatening the lives of our people." Nayru, the wisest of the four, spoke calmly. Her eyes were closed as she concentrated on the future. "I can see it in my visions of the future. He will break our seal and chaos will be unleashed unless we put an end to him for a small while, akin to the many times we have before."
"Wait. Hylia wanted to say something, so let her, sisters." Farore, the last of the Goddesses, interrupted, intrigued with Hylia's words. The two other Goddesses looked toward Hylia.
Hylia breathed out once more, regaining her posture. "... I have been thinking for a while, and... I have decided to chose one of our people to be my Chosen Hero." She looked up bravely, determination glowing in her usually soft, blue eyes.
All three choked on their breath in surprise. "Hylia! That means giving a large responsibility to a weak being! What in the universe made you think that is a good idea?!" Din shouted in a piercing tone, moving her hands in a wild manner.
"But that is not all!" Hylia yelled back, silencing the angry Goddess before her. "I have also decided to bestow one virtue of your Triforce to the Chosen Hero! That will offer a power great enough to match Demise!" Hylia turned her body toward Farore, her hands outstretched. The green Goddess put her hands in Hylia's.
Farore nodded, understanding what this gesture meant. "I will allow you to give your Chosen Hero my part of the Triforce, Hylia."
Nayru raised her hand. "But, that means we will have to gave the remaining pieces to two other beings. The Triforce cannot have one piece taken without splitting apart." She reminded the group. Hylia glanced at her and nodded.
"That is for you to decide, sisters."

One Hundred years into the future...
The battle was over. It was finally over. Hylia and her people were victorious, sealing away the darkness once again, ensuring the peace. But not everything was well. In fact, this moment was a sad time for Hylia, as her people ascended into the skies for safety, the Chosen Hero Hylia had grown so fond of was dying in her arms.
Hylia's tears stained her cheeks as she held her Hero, regret building inside of her like a whirlpool. "... Link... Link, please..." She cried, yearning for an answer. But nobody spoke. "... Your imprisonment was willed by the Heavens... It was meant to make you strong, like a sword hammered and honed so that it will never speak... It was necessary to mold you into one fit of wielding the Master Sword. The sword was tempered by your spirit... You woke it, and will continue to serve... as its master... for all eternity..." Hylia broke down into a sobbing mess, her tears falling on the lifeless body of her Hero. "This is because... you deeply loved the land of Hylia, and all it's people... as I do. But it is because of this that your life was full of suffering... I watched you... and felt your pain like a knife through my body..."
Hylia held her Hero's hand and squeezed it tightly, trying hard to regain her composure. She clenched her jaw shut, but the tears wouldn't stop. "I will ensure that your gentle, heroic spirit will live on...! I will shed my divinity! The next time we meet... I wish to stand before you as a simple being! Whenever the land of Hylia is in danger, we shall be reborn!" The Goddess yelled at the sky, the same sky she will see as a being of Hylia.
"If that is the case..." A soft voice spoke, breaking Hylia away from her sorrow only for a moment. She looked up to see Nayru standing before her, the Goddess' features racked with sadness. Nayru held out her hand, revealing her piece of the Triforce. "I will give you this. You will need this for what you are to do in the future, sister Zelda."
Hylia's eyes widened in surprise, her tears ceasing. "B-but... Sister Nayru..." She tried to reason with her sister, only to hushed to silence.
"No, no. I will give this to you whether you like it or not. If you are to become a being of Hylia, I wish for you to be the one to hold my virtue of the Triforce." Nayru grabbed one of Hylia's hands, placing the golden triangle in the trembling Goddess' palm.
Hylia smiled softly. "Thank you, sister Nayru..."

The sound of hurried footsteps were the only things to be heard within the quiet temple of the Goddesses. Nayru was running through the corridors, looking everywhere for her sisters. Something bad was going to happen, and it was going to happen very soon.
"Sister Farore! Sister Din!" Nayru called aloud, panic evident within her voice. Within only a few seconds, the two Goddesses were before her, stopping Nayru in her tracks, with confused looks on their faces.
"What is the matter, Sister Nayru?" Farore asked, her head cocking to the side in curiosity. "Did-"
"Did that damn brat reject another one of your helpers?" Din inquired, her face gaining an uninterested yet irritated look, placing her hand on her hip. Nayru nodded quickly in response. "Ugh. Then just send another one you deem fit for the job and keep trying!"
Nayru shook her head in disapproval. "That is the case, sister Din. There is no one else fitting for the job in this universe! We've already tried all of them!" Nayru explained hurriedly. "What are we to do?! The reincarnation of Demise is going to return in a year and a half! And if the Chosen Hero of this time continues to refuse the help I am sending him to get himself together, Hyrule may be destroyed!"
"He is refusing help because he does not know this, sister Nayru," Farore added. "And he just finished fighting the same reincarnation a few months ago. Of course he's suffering from this mentally. Especially since the Princess sent him back in time. He does not get any credit. That can do a lot to a person... Fighting so hard, only to have people not even know what you had done for them..."
Din slapped her fist into her other hand's palm. "I've got it! If there's no one suitable for the job in this universe, why don't we just take someone from another?" She suggested, a large smile on her face. "I mean, Farore, that's one of your abilities, right? The ability to view into other universes?" Farore nodded in response; her face had "surprised" written all over it.
"O-okay... sure."

Nayru viewed through the holographic map that was in front of her, being projected by Farore. It was of the universe their creator lived in. They figured that, since they were created by someone from this universe, there must have been someone suitable for Nayru's job. Said Goddess knitted her brows in concentration. "I think I may have it..." She mumbled.
Din groaned. "Finally! Let me see your list, Nayru." Farore moved her hands toward Din to let the map face her, a list of suitable humans on the left. Din scrolled through it quickly, only looking at the photos of each human. "Nayru, listen to me! Most of them are just adults! We need to send someone his age! It'll make things easier." This fact was true. Most of the list was just adults.
"How?" Farore inquired innocently.
Din shrugged. "Kids around the same age tend to understand each other better, I guess."
Nayru cleared her throat to get her two sister's attention. She closed her eyes, breathing out slowly. "I understand, sister Din, but there are not many on this list that are his age. And, even if they are, children do not know much about things like this, and we are much too busy balancing this universe to do this job ourselves..."
"If they don't know much about that stuff, then why are they on the list?" Din mocked, quirking an eyebrow. "Let's just give a shot, come on!" Farore nodded happily in agreement. Din then scrolled back to the very top of the list and scrolled a little more slowly, searching to a photo a child that looked around the young Hero's age. Her gaze landed on a girl only a year younger than him. "Here we are! Let's try her!" Din shouted excitedly. Nayru walked behind Din to glance at who she had chosen.
Nayru felt annoyed. "You just chose the first child on the list, sister Din." She told her sister, crossing her arms.
"That may be the case, but let's just do it anyways. We can't afford to waste time."

I have a bunch of voice headcannons for the Goddesses:
Nayru: Susan Egan (Rose Quartz from Steven Universe, Megara from Hercules) or maybe Erica Luttrell (Sapphire from Steven Universe)
Din: Carrie Keranen (Satsuki Kiryuin from Kill La Kill English Dub)
Farore: Cherami Leigh (Elizabeth Midford from Black Butler English Dub)
Hylia: Aimee Mann (Opal from Steven Universe)
"But nobody spoke" was a reference to "But nobody came" from Earthbound (I think) and Undertale, in case anyone was wondering.
AND FUCKING "Your gentle, heroic spirit will live on..!" UNDYNE OKAY? "This world will live on...!"
