Era of the Goddess Hylia: Difference between revisions

The '''Era of the Goddess Hylia''' spans from [[Creation]] until the Ancient Battle when [[Hylia]] falls from power. During this time, the [[Temple of Hylia]] and the [[Temple of Time]] are constructed, each housing a [[Gate of Time]]. Known races of this era include [[Human]]s, [[Goron]]s, [[Kikwi]], [[Parella]], [[Ancient Robot]]s, and [[Mogma]]. After the Ancient Battle, Hylia establishes the [[Sheikah]] tribe as servants who watch over the seal.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]'', pg. 71|One of the tribes that serve the goddess Hylia. They are blithe individuals chosen by the goddess to watch over the sealed Demon King. This role is passed on from one generation to the next.}}

For some time after the [[Creation]], the people worship the [[Triforce]] and its guardian Hylia. However, the Demon King [[Demise]] seeks the Triforce for his own, aiming to take control of the world.{{Ref|name=Zelda-War|SS|6846|[[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]}}{{Ref|''Hyrule Historia'', pg. 71|[Demise's] ultimate goal is to obtain the Triforce and take over the land with his demonic minions.}}

The first plan is seen through the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. Fi, the spirit of the [[Goddess Sword]], appears to [[Link]], who eventually forges the Goddess Sword into the [[Master Sword]] in order to fulfill his mission. Her second plan, to use the Triforce, requires that she relinquish her divine powers and become mortal, since gods cannot use the Triforce.{{Ref|SS|6850|Zelda}}{{Ref|''Hyrule Historia'', pg. 71|In an attempt to destroy Demise, the goddess Hylia tried to use the power of the Triforce. However, a goddess cannot wield its power. Thus, the goddess Hylia decided to renounce her divinity and be reborn as a human.}} As things unfold during the [[Sky Era]], the hero resulting from her first plan is the one to use the Triforce.
