The '''Era of the Goddess Hylia''' spans from [[Creation]] until the Ancient Battle when [[Hylia]] falls from power. During this time, the [[Sealed Temple|Temple of Hylia]] and the [[Temple of Time (Skyward Sword)|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.}} | |||

==The Triforce== | |||
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|[[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 Ancient Battle== | |||
Demise leads the [[Demon Tribe]] from the depths of the earth in an assault on the peoples of the surface, aiming to take the Triforce from Hylia.{{Ref|SS|4642-4645}} Fearing for the safety of her people and the security of the Triforce, Hylia gathers them on a small plot of land and sends it to the sky, beyond a [[Cloud Barrier]], to protect them from the invading demons.{{Ref|name=Zelda-War}}{{Ref|SS|4649-4651}} | |||
Then she joins forces with the remaining surface dwellers to combat the demons. After a long and fierce battle during which Hylia sustains grave injuries, the evil forces are sealed away.{{Ref|name=Zelda-Seal|SS|6847|Zelda}}{{Ref|SS|4652}}{{Ref|''Hyrule Historia'', pg. 71|The goddess and the remaining tribes on the Surface battled for their lives against Demise. They were victorious, and they sealed him away.}} The location of the seal, henceforth known as the [[Sealed Grounds]], is also the site of the Temple of Hylia, which then becomes known as the Sealed Temple. | |||
==Hylia's Two Plans== | |||
{{Spoiler|section}} | |||
The seal wouldn't last forever, and Hylia isn't prepared for another battle should Demise escape. She devises two plans to prepare for a time when she could destroy Demise for good.{{Ref|name=Zelda-Seal}}{{Ref|SS|6848}} | |||
#Choose a hero, and create [[Fi]] to assist him. | |||
#Renounce her divinity in order to use the Triforce.{{Ref|SS|6849|Zelda}} | |||
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 (Skyward Sword)|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. | |||
