A/N: This chapter is mostly because I love the thought of the Oocca as being this sort of cosmic joke. I mean, can we talk about how hilarious they look? Anyways, this is not the chapter I was planning to write next but I ended up finishing this one first so here you are!
Long ago, when time was just beginning, before the goddesses had yet returned to the heavens since the creation of the world, the Goddess of Wisdom, Nayru, quarreled with her sister, Farore.
"Why do you take such delight in these foolish beings?" asked Nayru, watching her sister coo at one of her newly made creations that was already attempting to subvert the spirit of the law.
Farore only laughed and asked in return "Why do you take so little delight in these foolish beings?" and continued to watch the errant creature make mischief.
Nayru grew frustrated watching the silliness of some of the creatures her Sister had created and blamed their foolishness on her Sister's wild nature. So Nayru thought to herself "Why should I not create a more dignified race of beings who will be worthy of the wisdom I have poured into this world?" and decided to do so.
And so Nayru began to create a race of beings that would be capable of great wisdom, and gave to them knowledge of magic and technology and all manner of things far greater than what the other beings of the world had. Nayru looked at her work and was pleased, for she had given these beings a wise countenance worthy of their great minds.
She brought her creation to her Sister, Din, and said "Is this not a most worthy being I have made? It has the noblest and wisest mind in all the world!"
Din looked upon her Sister's creation and began to laugh so hard that the earth shook and the sky thundered with the tremors of her laughter.
"It's just a head! Dear Sister your creation may have a noble mind but that is certainly all it has!"
Offended at her Sister's laughter, Nayru decided to give the creatures more substantial bodies and set to work on their creation.
Many days passed and Nayru could not manage to create anything more than heads. The heads contained the most superb minds in all of creation but she could not manage to conceive of a body fitting for them. She tried molding different bodies from clay, carving them from wood and stone, she even tried to form some from clouds and water but every attempt made Din laugh all the harder.
Frustrated, Nayru decided to cheat and take some inspiration from the beings her Sister, Farore, had created.
Nayru looked upon the creatures of the world and said to herself, "The Gorons are a sturdy people! I shall give to my children the bodies of Gorons!"
And so Nayru tried to fashion bodies similar to the rock-solid flesh of the Gorons. But she could not.
"Perhaps my children cannot be so sturdy. Yet looking upon the wild beauty of the stallion, I have decided I desire more elegant bodies for my children!"
And so Nayru tried to fashion for them the body of a horse, but she could not.
"Perhaps I shall make something less complex? The dog is a most loyal creature and is beloved by all. I shall give to my children the form of the dog!"
Yet still, Nayru could not imitate the form of the dog.
Growing angry, Nayru looked through all the creatures of the world and tried to make bodies for her children based off of every last one. Yet she could not imitate her Sister's creations at all.
Finally, Nayru came to the only creature whose body she had not tried to fashion, for she found it to be the most silly and undignified of all: the cucco. Nayru set to work and tried to create the body of the cucco and found that, lo, she could indeed create something very like it!
After much hard work, Nayru had fashioned bodies for all of her children and brought them, once again, before her Sister Din.
"Dare you to laugh at this noble creature and its fine body? I have at last finished the wise and mighty Oocca!"
Upon seeing her Sister's creations, Din laughed so uproariously that the mountains themselves shook and the seas crashed against the shore and all the creatures in the world were afraid at the thunderous roaring of the skies.
Hearing the commotion, Farore came to the field where Din was laughing and asked "Sister, what is the cause of your laughter? I would know so that I may share in your joy!"
Din, incapable of speaking for her laughter, pointed at the Oocca Nayru had created.
Farore laughed delightedly and said "Sister, I did not know you could create such marvelous beings!"
Nayru, thinking she was being mocked, tried to hide the Oocca from Farore. And so, embarrassed of her children, she made for them a city in the sky where she hid them among the clouds.
Farore stopped laughing and said to her Sister "Why did you send them away? They were such wonderful mistakes!"
Nayru grew indignant on behalf of her children and yelled at Farore "Mistakes!? The Oocca are more brilliant than all of your silly creations could ever hope to be and I delight in having made them!"
Farore laughed again and said with a knowing grin, "It would seem, then, that you have finally learned how to take delight in foolish creatures, Sister!"
Nayru was stunned for a moment and said nothing. Then she laughed, too, and said "I think my children would get along well with yours. The Oocca will know how to return to the earth if they should wish to. Perhaps our 'mistakes' could be friendly to each other."
Din, who had finally composed herself, looked between her Sisters and said simply, "I am glad I simply had to create the earth and the seas and the sky!"
And that is how the Sky Beings came to be.
It is said that, using their great knowledge, the Oocca were able to create powerful artifacts to give life to machines and statues so that they might do the work their frail bodies could not. Thusly, did they create a path between their city and Hyrule. But that is only the whisperings of Gossip Stones…
