PART I
The Land of Hyrule
The Three Goddesses created our world and the races within it. They left portions of their power, the Triforce, behind within the Sacred Realm.
CHAPTER I The Creation
Had words existed during that age, they would be unable to describe the magnitude of the vast pool of nothingness that occupied the physical world at the beginning of time. It was at that precise moment that this expansive pool of space looked at itself and wondered, "What am I?", that the three goddesses arrived to provide an answer to this unspoken question posed by Emptiness.
Din, Goddess of Power, Nayru, Goddess of Wisdom, and Farore, Goddess of Courage spoke in unison, saying "You are naught."
The pause that followed would have witnessed the birth and death of countless mortal generations, were there mortals available to live and die. Just as Emptiness exhaled a universal sigh in protest of the puzzling nature of the goddesses' statement, the three deities raised their palms above their beautiful faces and stated together, "You were naught. Now you are."
The goddesses joined hands, and through the power of an ancient magic, they shaped the globe, which would be the ultimate stage for a grand drama, comedy, and tragedy. Din filled the globe with water, stone, air, and fire; Nayru sprinkled the newborn landscape with plants and animals, while Farore planted the seeds that would grow into intelligence, consciences, and magic.
When their work was complete, Emptiness had fled away with great fear. Though the goddesses were surprised at the strange sensation of fatigue which filled their spirits, they felt the need to continue their work by creating a token to serve as a symbol of their holy bond with the new world.
Each goddess forged her own contribution to the magical talisman; Din offered the Triforce of Power, Nayru contributed the Triforce of Wisdom, and Farore presented the Triforce of Courage. Combined, the three pieces formed the Holy Triforce.
The ground where the Triforce stood instantly became holy territory in the fresh minds of the inhabitants of this new world.. This Sacred Realm became known as the Golden Land.
As Emptiness ran farther and farther away, the free-spirited souls that wandered the new land of High Rule eventually settled down, learned to farm, and formed the Kingdom of Hyrule. The three goddesses never strayed too far from this new world they created, and the people of Hyrule worshipped them respectfully.
