Nayru (goddess)

Nayru, also known as the goddess of wisdom, is one of the three creators of Hyrule. With her sisters, Din and Farore, she contributed to the birth of Hyrule and its inhabitants. She poured her wisdom onto the earth and gave the spirit of law to the world. Upon leaving Hyrule, she left her part of the Triforce, the Triforce of Wisdom, in the Sacred Realm.

She is revered for creating the laws and physics of the universe that keep it in order. Her strength is defensive magic, and her spell is Nayru's Love, which protects the user from damage as long as it is in effect. The jewel Nayru's Pearl is believed to be one of her treasures.

Because of her part in creating the laws of the universe, it is possible that she is the Goddess of Time referred to in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. This would make her the deity who is worshiped in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's Temple of Time.

The oracle Nayru of Labrynna is named after her. In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, a province of Hyrule is named Lanayru in her honor. The Light Spirit Lanayru and her spring are also named after the goddess.
