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 the [[Hylian]]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]]''|One of the tribes that serve the goddess Hylia.
