However, in the process, the gate shatters. Together, they flee from Demise’s minions through the Gate of Time. However, Impa, a warrior sent through time by Hylia in the past, rescues Zelda. At the beginning of the game, the princess gets kidnapped by Ghirahim, a servant of Demise. Thousands of years later, the Goddess Hylia was reborn as Zelda of Skyloft. This sword would later be taken up by her chosen hero, who would defeat Demise and save the world. This would allow her descendants to face Demise in the future with greater power.Īdditionally, as another plan to thwart Demise’s future plans, Hylia created the Goddess Sword. Knowing that Demise would not remain sealed away forever, the goddess renounced her divinity so that she could reincarnate later in mortal form. Furthermore, Hylia was gravely wounded in the conflict. However, the Demon King was not slain-only sealed away. The forces of good were able to defeat Demise and his army. This floating land would later become Skyloft.Īfter safely securing the humans and the Triforce, the Goddess Hylia and the remaining earth races fought against the Demon King and his hordes of monsters. Between the new floating land and the earth, Hylia created a barrier of clouds to protect those above. Here, she sent the humans and the Triforce. When the Demon King attacked, the Goddess Hylia created a floating land above the earth. Whether or not Demise and his minions were created by the Golden Goddesses-or another force-is not known. As such, he and his army of monsters attacked the earth. After an unspecified amount of time, the Demon King Demise arose from a fissure in the earth along with hordes of minions.ĭemise wished to take the power of the Triforce for himself. When the three Golden Goddesses left earth, they entrusted the Triforce to the Goddess Hylia, whose exact origins are unknown. However, if the individual is evil, it would appear as a chaotic hellscape. If the individual is pure of heart, the Sacred Realm would appear like a wondrous paradise. When someone enters the Sacred Realm, it will appear differently depending on the virtue of the individual. The Sacred Realm is a pocket dimension that can only be accessed through the Temple of Time. The place where the Triforce was created then became the Sacred Realm (sometimes called the Golden Land). Whoever possesses the Triforce would have their heart’s desires granted. The Triforce, whose three pieces each represented the power of the Goddesses, was an avatar for their collective powers. At the place upon earth where they departed, the Triforce was created. When the world was complete, the Golden Goddesses ascended back into the heavens. Following this, Farore, the Goddess of Courage, bestowed life to the world. Afterward, the Goddess of Wisdom, Nayru, gave order to the earth. The Goddess of Power, named Din, formed the earth.

This world would later be known as the land of Hyrule, where the Kingdom of Hyrule would later arise.ĭuring this Era of Creation, each of the three Golden Goddesses formed a different part of the world. The Original TimelineĪt the beginning of time, three Golden Goddesses created the world. With that said, it should be mentioned that the creators of The Legend of Zelda have stated that the timeline is still somewhat open to interpretation, as can be seen on page 10 of The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia. The information in this article and on the graphic above, including the timeline placement of Breath of the Wild, was created based on the information in these 2 books as well as details given during Breath of the Wild‘s gameplay.

However, that year, The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia was released on the 25th anniversary of the franchise, which gave gamers a clear, albeit somewhat primitive, explanation of the series chronology.Īlthough, in 2017, shortly after the franchise’s 30th anniversary, The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia was released, which updated a lot of the chronological information that was in The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia. Before this point, everything was fan speculation. Up until 2011, there was no concrete information about The Legend of Zelda timeline.
