'''Hylia''' is a character introduced in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. She is the only known worshiped deity in [[Skyloft]] with no mention of the three [[Golden Goddesses|Goddesses]] or the [[Triforce]], and is known only as "The Goddess". During the prologue of the game, her role in [[Hyrule]]'s mythology is shown. She was meant to protect an Ultimate Power, which refers to the Triforce, passed down by the "old gods". When the [[Surface|land below]] is attacked by evil forces, she raises an island of land with the humans and the Ultimate Power on it into [[The Sky|the sky]]. She and the remaining land dwellers fought off the evil forces.

A massive statue known as the [[Statue of the Goddess]] can be seen looking over the city of Skyloft. Under the statue lies [[Sky Keep]], where the Triforce is hidden. In the beginning of the game, [[Fi]] leads [[Link]] to a secret room in the Goddess Statue that houses the [[Goddess Sword]].

She had sacrificed her divine form so she could later be reborn as a mortal. [[Zelda]] is the result of this. She regains her memories as Hylia, before going back in time and into a coma to ensure that the seal on [[Demise]], the King of the Evil forces mentioned in the prologue, holds until a mortal with unbreakable spirit - Link - uses the Triforce to kill Demise. When Demise is crushed by the Goddess statue, Zelda awakens but is then kidnapped by [[Ghirahim]], who goes to the past (where Demise is still alive) and resurrects Demise using Zelda's holy power.
