Din (RPG)

Din, the Goddess of Power, is one of the three Golden Goddesses worshipped in Hyrule.

Mythology
According to Hylian tradition, Farore, along with Din and Nayru, arrived in Hyrule to participate in its creation. While Nayru brought it order and Farore completed the work by breathing life into Hyrule, Din sculpted the world with her hands. Their work completed, they departed Hyrule for the distant nebulae, leaving behind the Triforce and the First Sages.

Despite scrolls crediting Farore as the creator of life in Hyrule, Din is sometimes credited with the creation of Gorons and Gerudo.

History
While the Hylian creation myth credits Din with beginning the creation of Hyrule, din herself was not worshipped by Hylians until the turning of the ages. Originally, Din was worshipped primarily in the west, by the ancient Gerudo tribes, though she apparently also had a role in the Sheikah religion. Notably, Din worship was picked up by the warlord Ganon, who used her and his possession of the Triforce of Power to legitimize his conquest. Following his death at the hands of the Hylian tribes, Din was incorporated into their religion, completing their trinity and finalizing their philosophy. Din is associated with self-actualization, struggle, and will to power, and is considered a patron of both Gorons and Gerudo.

Din's domains overlap with both Kovaloo and Maphaeus, and the three were subject to a degree of synthesism; notably, the statue of the Goddess of Sand's identity is attributed to both Din and Kovaloo. The reason for this is unclear. While skeptics suggest Din is a composite of Kovaloo and Maphaeus or the two were derived from her, both of them have been shown to regard Din as a driving power in the world.

To date, only one Oracle of Din is recorded, though her life and relation to Ganon are unclear.
