Din (goddess)

Din, also known as the Goddess of Power, is one of the three creator goddesses of Hyrule.

History
Din, along with her sisters Nayru and Farore came down from the heavens and created Hyrule out of the chaos the land formerly was, each contributing their part in the process. According to the Deku Tree, Din, "with her strong flaming arms, cultivated the land and created the red earth." Upon departure, they left the Triforce, the essence of their power, in the Sacred Realm.

Characteristics
Din, the Goddess of Power, formed the terrain of Hyrule. She is the master of fire magic, and the spell Din's Fire is named after her. The Din's Pearl, belonging to the Rito people, is also named after her, and said to have once belonged to her. Because she is the goddess of power she is associated with the Triforce of Power and Ganondorf.

It can be speculated that Din is the Sand Goddess that the Gerudo worship. This would keep in line with Farore being the Goddess of Wind and Nayru being the Goddess of Time, although Zelda is later named Goddess of Time so there is some confusion. It also fits since Din is already connected to the Gerudo because of Ganondorf's Triforce of Power. However it does not fit with where Din's spell is found (Outside the Royal Family's Castle). Nayru's Spell is found near the Gerudo's home.

The oracle Din of Holodrum is named after her. A province of Hyrule is named Eldin in her honor. The light spirit, Eldin, and its spring are also named after the goddess.
