The '''Golden Goddesses''', also known as the '''Old Gods''',<ref>{{cite|...She made this sacrifice, as you have likely guessed, so that the supreme power created by the old gods could one day be used.|Zelda|SS}}</ref> are [[Din (Goddess)|Din]], the Goddess of Power, [[Nayru (Goddess)|Nayru]], the Goddess of Wisdom, and [[Farore (Goddess)|Farore]], the Goddess of Courage, the chief gods and creators of the land that becomes the Kingdom of [[Hyrule]] and the [[World of The Legend of Zelda|extended world]] that it resides in.<ref name=gdt/> It is understood that the Golden Goddesses have always existed, and that they are omnipotent and eternal. Though the Golden Goddesses are the most important gods of the world, they are mentioned by few characters in the series, and knowledge of them has been shown to be limited to the people of Hyrule alone, most races worshiping their own patron deities. Signs of their existence has been visible in parallel worlds such as [[Termina]] and the [[World of the Ocean King]] also, implying that they may have created those worlds as well.<ref>{{cite book|quote= Though the waters of the Ocean King exist in a different world from that of Tetra, Link, and the pirates, the crests of Hyrule’s three gods can still be found in the Ocean King’s temple. Because of this, it is highly possible that the waters of the Ocean King were created by the same gods as Hyrule.|book= [[Hyrule Historia]]|publisher= Dark Horse Books|page= 130}}</ref>

'''Karane''' is a senior student at the [[Knight Academy]] in [[Skyloft]]. She is a red-headed youth that sports a light green [[tunic]] and round flat hat. She spends most of her time near the classroom in the day, and can be found in her room on the upper floor at night. Although she wants to take baths in the evening, [[Gaepora|someone]] is always in there.<ref>{{Cite|I need to take a bath, so get out of here, Link! Well...I mean I WOULD take a bath if whoever is in there now would hurry up and get out. They've been in there a loooong time...|Karane|SS}}</ref> She is somewhat conservative,<ref>{{Cite|What do you think you're doing sneaking into a girl's room at this time of the night?!|Karane|SS}}</ref> but is very popular among her male peers.
−
Each of the three Goddesses is associated with a characteristic, common element and color: Din is power, fire and red; Nayru is wisdom, water and blue; Farore is courage, wind and green. They are the creators of the sacred [[Triforce]] that is made up of their three associated characteristics of power, wisdom and courage.

==Appearances==
  
−
Although the Goddesses have never physically appeared to this date, they are sometimes implied to be influencing the events that take place throughout the series. The three deities of power, wisdom, and courage were first mentioned in the manual of {{ALTTP}}, but they were not yet given names. They were first be called by their individual names and titles in {{OOT}} and appeared in a flashback as flaming golden feminine humanoid figures as they created the world from chaos. Their [[Marks of the Goddesses|symbols]] make an appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracles of Ages]]'' representing three tunes of the [[Harp of Ages]], as do the [[Oracle]]s that are named after them. They were mentioned in {{TWW}} as putting the young [[Link#The Wind Waker|Hero of Winds]] through trials to test his worthiness as a successor of [[Link#Ocarina of Time|Hero of Time]],<ref>{{Cite|Only one who is able to overcome the trials that await here will be acknowledged by the gods to be a true hero. [...] You must rise above the trial of the gods!|[[King of Red Lions]]|TWW}}</ref> and three colored statues (red, blue and green) depicting each one of them appears with their associated symbols. The goddesses also play an indirectly important role in {{SS}} where it is revealed that they personally placed the [[Triforce]] in the care of the goddess [[Hylia]] in the [[Zelda Timeline#The Era of the Goddess Hylia|ancient past]].

A senior at the academy, she is learning to be a knight like you, Master. I have observed that she is quite popular with the male students.

===Creation of the World===
  
−
[[File:GoddessesDepartOoT.png|thumb|right|250px|The Golden Goddesses shown leaving Hyrule following its creation]]
  
−
Before time began and before spirits and life existed, the universe was in chaos. The three Golden Goddesses descended upon the chaos and began the creation of the world, each of them creating a different facet of the realm. Din created the material realm, Nayru gave the realm law and order, and Farore created all life forms that would follow the said order.<ref name=gdt>{{cite|Before time began, before spirits and life existed... Three golden goddesses descended upon the chaos that was Hyrule... Din, the Goddess of Power... Nayru, the Goddess of Wisdom... Farore, the Goddess of Courage... Din... With her strong flaming arms, she cultivated the land and created the red earth. Nayru... Poured her wisdom onto the earth and gave the spirit of law to the world. Farore...

With their labors completed, the Goddesses departed for the heavens, but not before leaving behind the Triforce, three sacred golden triangles representing a small portion of the essence of the goddesses.<ref>{{cite manual|quote=After the gods had finished their work, they left the world, but not before creating a symbol of their strength, a golden triangle known as the Triforce. A small but powerful portion of the essence of the gods was held in this mighty artifact, which was to guide the intelligent life on the world of Hyrule.|game=A Link to the Past|page=3}}</ref><ref name=fsmanual>{{cite manual|quote=Aeons ago, the Deities of Power, Courage, and Wisdom descended to the world of chaos. They created the world that we know and left behind a symbol of their strength, the golden emblem known as the Triforce, which they hid in the Golden Land.|game=A Link to the Past/Four Swords|page=14}}</ref> Because the power of the Triforce was so great, they trusted the sacred relic to the careful hands of the goddess Hylia so that she could protect it from those who would misuse its almighty power.<ref>{{cite|Handed down by the gods of old, this power gave its holder the means to make any desire a reality. Such was the might of the ultimate power that the old ones placed it in the care of the goddess.|Introduction|SS}}</ref> Since Hylia herself was a goddess, the Triforce was in safe hands, as only mortals would be able to use its power.
  
  +
Karane has a keen interest in [[Pipit]] and sometimes wonders how she can capture his attention.<ref>{{Cite|Sigh... Oh, Pipit... How can I get you to notice me?|Karane|SS}}</ref> She will often ask Link for his opinion on Pipit.<ref>{{Cite|Hey, Link, what do you think about Pipit?|Karane|SS}}</ref> If Link tells her that he is nice, she will begin listing his good points,<ref>{{Cite|[Response: He's nice] Yes! Yes, he is! He's kind and caring. And handsome and wonderful! Oh dear... I don't know what's come over me all of a sudden... Sorry for bothering you with such an awkward question...|Karane|SS}}</ref> but if she is questioned, she will become flustered.<ref>{{Cite|[Response: Why?] Huh? Oh... Well, you know... I just... Oh, forget about it. I don't even know what I was thinking asking you a strange question like that. Silly me...|Karane|SS}}</ref> When Link does something, like learn the [[Spiral Charge]] or obtain his tunic, she compliments him, then goes on to say that Pipit can do better.<ref>{{Cite|Whoa, you can already Spiral Charge?! Wow...that's so cool, Link! I mean...whatever. I'm sure Pipit can do it, too!|Karane|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|That outfit looks great on you! Not as good as it looks on Pipit,though!|Karane|SS}}</ref>
   
  +
If [[Link]] delivers a love letter from [[Cawlin]], she will initially think it's from Pipit.<ref>{{Cite|Huh? A letter? For me...? Could it be from Pipit?!|Karane|SS}}</ref> She comments on the bad handwriting and discovers that Cawlin sent it.<ref>{{Cite|Wow... This Cawlin guy... Isn't he one of Groose's flunkies? And...this... This is a love letter from that Cawlin kid...right?|Karane|SS}}</ref> Although she appreciates the effort that went into the letter, she laughs at the thought of entering a relationship with the boy and wonders what [[Pipit]] would think of the situation.<ref>{{Cite|So, yeah... I have to say, he really put his heart into it and everything... I don't know... Maybe I should consider going out with Cawlin. ...Hah! As if! Sigh... I wonder what Pipit would think if he knew about this...|Karane|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|This letter from Cawlin... I don't know what to do about it!|Karane|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|What will Pipit think if he finds out about this?|Karane|SS}}</ref>
−
The land where the goddesses parted eventually became to be known as the [[Sacred Realm]], the eventual resting place of the Triforce after Hylia could no longer protect it due to giving up her immortal form.<ref>{{cite|When all was chaos, the goddesses descended and gave order and life to the world. They granted power equally to all who dwelt in the light, and then returned to the heavens. The lands where the goddesses descended came to be known as the Sacred Realm.|Lanayru|SS}}</ref><ref>{{cite|And, the resting place of the triangles has become the Sacred Realm.|Great Deku Tree|OOT}}</ref>
  
   
  +
If [[Link]] talks to [[Pipit]] about this, he also becomes flustered, and mentions that he should make sure she experiences "true, passionate love".
−
===Interventions in Hyrule===
  
−
Although the Goddesses' morals and standards are never specifically stated anywhere in the games, they have intervened in affairs numerous times after the creation of the world but always for a good cause.
  
   
  +
When Link returns to Karane, she will be confronted by Cawlin. She compliments him on his letter and thanks him.<ref>{{Cite|Tee hee. It was a wonderful love letter. Thank you!|Karane|SS}}</ref> He asks her if she would go out with him, and just as she is about to reply, Pipit runs in, shouting that she should go out with him instead.<ref>{{Cite|Wait! I think you should go out with me instead! I mean...er...I want to ask you out!|Pipit|SS}}</ref> She hesitantly accepts his offer in an effort to prevent breaking Cawlin's heart.<ref>{{Cite|Errr... I want to go out with... Pipit...|Karane|SS}}</ref>

====The Light Spirits and Sealing Away the Interlopers====
  
−
{{Main|Interloper War}}
  
−
[[File:DarkLinksTwilightPrincess.jpg|thumb|right|The Interlopers try to take over the Sacred Realm]]
  
−
The Golden Goddesses appointed four [[Light Spirit]]s, [[Ordona (Spirit)|Ordona]], [[Faron (Spirit)|Faron]], [[Eldin (Spirit)|Eldin]], and [[Lanayru (Spirit)|Lanayru]], to protect each of the four regions in Hyrule, [[Ordon Province]], [[Faron Province]], [[Eldin Province]], and [[Lanayru Province]], respectively.<ref>{{cite|I am one of four light spirits that protect Hyrule at the behest of the gods. I am Ordona.|Ordona|TP}}</ref><ref>{{cite|My name is Faron. I am one of the spirits of light who dwell in Hyrule. By the order of the gods, I protect this forest.|Faron|TP}}</ref>
  
   
  +
After that, they will begin dating. Pipit thanks Link for helping him find true love and gives him five [[Gratitude Crystal]]s. Karane will admire Pipit even more,<ref>{{Cite|My guy is going out on patrol again tonight. It's not even required of him--it's just something he feels he has to do... Just thinking about him makes my heart start pounding like I just ran up a flight of stairs!|Karane|SS}}</ref> and thanks Link for his role, but she still feels sorry for how things turned out for Cawlin.<ref>{{Cite|Hee hee! Thank you, Link. Thanks to you, I have an amazing new boyfriend! But I feel kind of bad about Cawlin, you know?|Karane|SS}}</ref> Afterwards, by sitting a bench seat in the front row of the classroom, Link can listen to Karane and Pipit discussing their relationship as well as how Karane wants to visit Pipit's mother,<ref>{{cite|I guess I should hustle over and say hello to your mother too. I'm sure she's just like you, Pipit--trustworthy and dependable.|Karane|SS}}</ref> much to Pipit's dismay.<ref>{{cite|Whoa! Uhhhh, that's moving a bit too fast, don't you think?|Pipit|SS}}</ref>

When word of the [[Sacred Realm]] and the Triforce spread, a great war ensued between those seeking to wield the ultimate power.<ref>{{cite|But soon, word of the Sacred Realm spread through Hyrule, and a great battle ensued...|Lanayru|TP}}</ref> During this war, the tribe skilled in dark magic known only as the [[Dark Interlopers]] attempted to establish dominion over the Sacred Realm and establish their power using the [[Fused Shadow]]. As this war dragged on, three [[Light Spirits]] intervened at the behest of the Golden Goddesses, chasing the Dark Interlopers across Hyrule and into the twilight, locking them away in the [[Twilight Realm]].<ref name=Midnaquote>{{cite|What do you think happened to the magic wielders who tried to rule the [[Sacred Realm]]? They were banished. They were chased across the sacred lands of [[Hyrule]] and driven into another realm by the Goddesses. It was another world entirely... The antithesis of Hyrule, where the sun shines bright. Its denizens became shadows that could not mingle with the light. Eventually, most came to call it the [[Twilight Realm]], and from it, none could return to the world of light...|Midna|TP}}</ref><ref name=Lanayru>{{cite|Among those living in the light, interlopers who excelled at magic appeared. Wielding powerful sorcery, they tried to establish dominion over the Sacred Realm. It was then that the goddesses ordered us three light spirits to intervene. We sealed away the great magic those individuals had mastered. You know this magic...It is the dark power you seek...the Fused Shadow.|Lanayru|TP}}</ref> They also sealed away the great magic those individuals had mastered,<ref name=Lanayru/> and splintered it to prevent its future misuse.
  
   
−
Although the Goddesses forbade the Interlopers from returning to the world of light, they left a single link between Hyrule and the Twilight Realm.<ref>{{cite|Though the goddesses forbade us to return to the world of light, they left one link between the light and the darkness.|Midna|TP}}</ref> This link, known as the [[Mirror of Twilight]], was entrusted to the [[Sages]] of Hyrule by the Goddesses, who commanded them to guard it and protect it.<ref>{{cite|At the command of the goddesses, we sages have guarded the Mirror of Twilight since ancient times.|Sage|TP}}</ref>

In most of the history of Hyrule, whenever Ganondorf comes to power and plans to take over the kingdom, the Goddesses appoint a hero, usually [[Link]], to rise and defeat the King of Thieves.<ref>{{cite|[Link], hero chosen by the goddesses...|Lanayru|TP}}</ref><ref>{{cite|If a person who has an evil heart gets the Triforce, a Hero is destined to appear...and he alone must face the person who began the Great Cataclysm.|Maiden|ALTTP}}</ref><ref>{{cite|You who have been sent by the goddesses...

*If Link speaks to Karane after seeing Fi for the first time, she will react as if Link claims to have seen a ghost, much to Karane's disbelief.<ref>{{Cite|You saw a ghost?! Are you sure you weren't just in shock and maybe imagined it?|Karane|SS}}</ref>

*Link can also give Cawlin's letter to [[???|the lady in the restroom]], presumably to be used as toilet paper.

This is meant to read Karane + Cawlin, and was probably written by Cawlin as Karane is interested in Pipit.<ref>[[:File:SS Chalkboard.jpg|"Karane + Caw..."]]</ref>
  +
*In Karane's bedroom on her desk is a drawing of [[Pipit]]'s face in one of her books next to a heart symbol on the same page. Nearby, there is also an envelope with a heart symbol on it, possibly an unsent love letter to Pipit she wrote.<ref>[[:File:SS Karane Desk.jpg|Karane's desk]]</ref>

==The Three Goddesses==

===Din, The Goddess of Power===

{{quote|Din... With her strong flaming arms, cultivated the land and created the red earth.|[[Great Deku Tree]]}}
  
−  
−
[[File:Dinoot.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Din, as seen in ''Ocarina of Time'']]
  
−
'''Din''' created the bare earth and shaped the featureless land, forming its topography. Her labors produced the towering mountains, profound chasms, and great expanses of Hyrule's topography.
 
−  
−
With her work completed, Din formed the [[Triforce#Triforce of Power|Triforce of Power]], the embodiment of her supremacy. When the Gerudo King [[Ganon#Ocarina of Time|Ganondorf]] sought to abstract the Golden Power from its resting place, he failed to procure the sacred Triforce in its entirety and it split into its three elements. Believing in his heart that power was the most important aspect of the Triforce, he was left with the Triforce of Power, and the blessing of Din.

===Nayru, The Goddess of Wisdom===

−
[[File:Nayruoot.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Nayru, as seen in ''Ocarina of Time'']]
  
−
'''Nayru''' is the source of the laws that govern the realm in which Hyrule exists. Once her sister Din had completed the creation of the physical realm, Nayru began establishing order within the realm. Nayru illuminated the firmament of the sphere with her divine wisdom, and founded the fundamental laws of the realm.
 
−  
−
Once she had finished, Nayru formed the [[Triforce#Triforce of Wisdom|Triforce of Wisdom]], the embodiment of her omniscience. Whomever would possess the Triforce of Wisdom would be instilled with the essence of Nayru, and her blessing, granting them wisdom unparalleled. When the sacred Triforce was split into its three virtues, the Triforce of Wisdom eluded [[Ganon]], and sought a worthy holder, namely, the Princess of Destiny, [[Princess Zelda]].

===Farore, The Goddess of Courage===

−
[[File:Faroreoot.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Farore, as seen in ''Ocarina of Time'']]
  
−
'''Farore''' is the source of all life that exists within the Hyrulean realm. Once her sisters had finished creating a realm suitable for sustaining life, Farore created the life forms that would inhabit it. Farore breathed life onto the barren earth and into the seas, creating grasses, trees, vines, and all other manner of vegetation, also forming all of the diverse people of Hyrule.
 
−  
−
With her works completed, Farore drew a portion of her divine spirit, and produced the [[Triforce#Triforce of Courage|Triforce of Courage]]. The holder of the Triforce of Courage would be imbued with the blessings of Farore, and valor unrivaled by any other. When the Triforce divided into its three aspects, the Triforce of Courage was bestowed upon the Hero, [[Link]], in merit of his great courage.

Various items, people and deities found throughout the series are named after the Golden Goddesses. Each of the goddesses also have a [[Marks of the Goddesses|crest that represents them]], which can be found in places and items related to them.<ref>{{cite book|quote= Din, Nayru, and Farore each left a crest behind.

The first of the items are the three magic abilities obtained in {{OOT}}: [[Din's Fire]], [[Farore's Wind]], and [[Nayru's Love]], granted to [[Link]] by the [[Great Fairy|Great Fairies]]. In {{TWW}}, it is said that [[Din's Pearl]], [[Farore's Pearl]], and [[Nayru's Pearl]] were handed down to the [[Rito]]s, [[Korok]]s, and [[Jabun]] by the goddesses themselves, respectively.<ref>{{Cite|The water spirit Jabun was kind enough to give you this jewel, a treasure of one of the goddesses!|N/A|TWW}}</ref><ref>{{cite|You received Din's Pearl!

[[Din (Oracle)|Din]], [[Nayru (Oracle)|Nayru]], and [[Farore (Oracle)|Farore]] from the [[Oracle Series|''Oracle'' series]], who are the Oracle of Seasons, Ages, and Secrets respectively, share the names of the goddesses and also share physical similarities to the statues depicted in ''The Wind Waker''. It is also implied that both the dragons from ''Skyward Sword'' and the Light Spirits from ''Twilight Princess'', Eldin, Faron, and Lanayru, are references to the goddesses, with two of the dragons bearing the symbol of the goddess they are associated with on their forehead. Because of this, the [[Silent Realm]]s of the three regions in the former game feature the names of the goddesses, each of them testing one of the goddess' attributes depending on the realm. Farore's Silent Realm tests the limits of Link's courage, Nayru's Silent Realm tests the limits of his wisdom, and Din's Silent Realm tests the limits of his power.<ref>{{cite|This particular trial, Farore's Silent Realm, tests the limits of your courage.|Fi|SS}}</ref><ref>{{cite|This is the second trial, known as Nayru's Silent Realm.

In their first appearance, in {{OOT}}, the Goddesses Din, Nayru, and Farore are depicted as a golden figures surrounded by a red, blue, and green auras, respectively. However, in later titles, monuments representing the Goddesses (such as the statues of the Golden Goddesses in the throne room of [[Hyrule Castle]] in ''Twilight Princess'') give a more detailed appearance. The Goddess Statues in ''The Wind Waker'' appear similar to the Oracles [[Din (Oracle)|Din]], [[Nayru (Oracle)|Nayru]], and [[Farore (Oracle)|Farore]] who are all named after the Goddesses.

Template:Character

Karane is a senior student at the Knight Academy in Skyloft. She is a red-headed youth that sports a light green tunic and round flat hat. She spends most of her time near the classroom in the day, and can be found in her room on the upper floor at night. Although she wants to take baths in the evening, someone is always in there.[1] She is somewhat conservative,[2] but is very popular among her male peers.

Biography

Karane has a keen interest in Pipit and sometimes wonders how she can capture his attention.[3] She will often ask Link for his opinion on Pipit.[4] If Link tells her that he is nice, she will begin listing his good points,[5] but if she is questioned, she will become flustered.[6] When Link does something, like learn the Spiral Charge or obtain his tunic, she compliments him, then goes on to say that Pipit can do better.[7][8]

If Link delivers a love letter from Cawlin, she will initially think it's from Pipit.[9] She comments on the bad handwriting and discovers that Cawlin sent it.[10] Although she appreciates the effort that went into the letter, she laughs at the thought of entering a relationship with the boy and wonders what Pipit would think of the situation.[11][12][13]

If Link talks to Pipit about this, he also becomes flustered, and mentions that he should make sure she experiences "true, passionate love".

When Link returns to Karane, she will be confronted by Cawlin. She compliments him on his letter and thanks him.[14] He asks her if she would go out with him, and just as she is about to reply, Pipit runs in, shouting that she should go out with him instead.[15] She hesitantly accepts his offer in an effort to prevent breaking Cawlin's heart.[16]

After that, they will begin dating. Pipit thanks Link for helping him find true love and gives him five Gratitude Crystals. Karane will admire Pipit even more,[17] and thanks Link for his role, but she still feels sorry for how things turned out for Cawlin.[18] Afterwards, by sitting a bench seat in the front row of the classroom, Link can listen to Karane and Pipit discussing their relationship as well as how Karane wants to visit Pipit's mother,[19] much to Pipit's dismay.[20]


Trivia

"Karane+Caw..."
Enlarge
"Karane+Caw..."
  • Her name is derived from crane, a bird known for its beauty in many cultures.
  • If Link speaks to Karane after seeing Fi for the first time, she will react as if Link claims to have seen a ghost, much to Karane's disbelief.[21]
  • Link can also give Cawlin's letter to the lady in the restroom, presumably to be used as toilet paper.
  • There is a drawing on the classroom chalkboard of an "Ai Ai Gasa" or "Love Love Umbrella".[22] If Link approaches the umbrella drawing, text will appear saying "Karane + Caw...". This is meant to read Karane + Cawlin, and was probably written by Cawlin as Karane is interested in Pipit.[23]
  • In Karane's bedroom on her desk is a drawing of Pipit's face in one of her books next to a heart symbol on the same page. Nearby, there is also an envelope with a heart symbol on it, possibly an unsent love letter to Pipit she wrote.[24]
