There is a problem with parsing the infobox The Creation of the World,[1] also known as the Creation Myth,[2] is an in-universe myth within The Legend of Zelda series about how the land of Hyrule was created by the three Golden Goddesses. The original version of this myth appears in the A Link to the Past instruction manual.[3] This myth would be retold in Ocarina of Time, and again in an abbreviated form in Twilight Princess, as well as expanded in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
Overview[]
During the Creation of the World, the three Golden Goddesses created the land of Hyrule (not to be confused with the Kingdom of Hyrule, which exists within the land of Hyrule).[1] Din created the land, Nayru created order, and Farore created all life.[2] The Goddesses then departed for the heavens. The Triforce was formed at the point where the goddesses left the world, and its resting place became the Sacred Realm.[3][4][5]
Ocarina of Time[]
In Ocarina of Time, the Great Deku Tree recounts the full Creation of the World shortly before his death, after Link defeats Gohma.
Twilight Princess[]
In Twilight Princess, Lanayru tells Link a shortened version along with the Banishment of the Twili, after Link collects all the Tears of Light in the Lanayru region
Echoes of Wisdom[]
In Echoes of Wisdom, the events of the creation of the world myth are revisited where it was revealed that the Golden Goddesses essentially created Hyrule as a prison to seal away the primordial cosmic entity known as Null due to its presence threatening to erase anything that attempted to form.
