Nayru

''This article is about the Goddess Nayru. You might be looking for the Oracle of the same name.''

Nayru is one of the three Golden Goddesses that created Hyrule and the Triforce. She is worshiped by numerous races across Hyrule, most notably the Hylians and the Zora.

Pantheon
Nayru is the Goddess of wisdom, and commonly associated with love, law, and virtue. Her associated color is blue. During the Dawn of Hyrule, Nayru created the laws of the world and instructed the first Sapphire Sage, Malkorbagia, to teach these laws to the people of Hyrule. She is associated with stringed musical instruments and the act of singing. As the Goddess associated with order and rationality, her name is often invoked by her worshipers when confronted with chaotic or supernatural occurrences.

Creation of Hyrule
Nayru and her sisters Din and Farore were the creators of Hyrule.

The world eventually attracted the attention of the Druthulidi Majora, who meddled with and corrupted the Goddesses' work. The result was the creation of Termina, a warped parallel of Hyrule that could be entered after death. Frustrated that their new work was tampered with, the Goddesses proceeded to force Majora into Termina and banished him from Hyrule, threatening to destroy him if he ever returned. Angered with their hostility, Majora set out to destroy and corrupt any further creations of the Goddesses and made others of its kind aware of Hyrule's existence.

The Druthulidi across the cosmos then arrived at Hyrule and began to fight with one another for control of Hyrule, their titanic conflict shaping and ravaging the world.

In order to stop them, the Goddesses created the seven First Sages: Demoko, Solahrasin, Sulkaris, Malkorbagia, Maphaeus, Evaleen and Kovaloo; and with them, they purged Hyrule of the Druthulidi, destroying many of them in the process. Five of them managed to hide themselves and escaped the Goddesses' wrath. As a result of this conflict the Goddesses created the Triforce, an artefact that would give life to the world and maintain beings that would fight the Druthulidi and uphold their laws and desires.

Their work complete, the three Goddesses left Hyrule. They continue to be extensively worshiped by almost all native races of Hyrule, and in later ages their cult is the most popular religion across the planet.

Trivia

 * Despite Nayru being credited with creating the laws of the universe, the existence of worlds such as the Realm of Twilight, on which time passes differently due to Relativity serve as evidence that these laws exist independently of her influence.
