-= THE CREATION OF HYRULE =-
According to the Hylian scrolls, the mythical gods descended from a
distant nebula to the world and created order and life. The God of
Power
dyed the mountains red with fire and created land. The God of Wisdom
created science and wizardry and brought order to nature. And the God
of
Courage, through justice and vigor, created life - the animals that
crawl the land and the birds that soar in the sky. After the gods had
finsihed 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.
Although it was an inanimate object, the Triforce had the power to
bestow three titles which gave the person who received them great
powers: "The Forger of Strength", "The Keeper of Knowledge", and "The
Juror of Courage". From its hiding place in the so-called Golden Land
where the Gods placed it, the Triforce beckoned people from the outside
world to seek it in the hope that someone worthy of these titles would
find it. With their magic infused blood, the Hylian people were endowed
with psychic powers and skill in wizardry. It was also said that their
long, pointed ears enabled them to hear special messages from the gods,
so they were heldin high esteem by many people in Hyrule. Their
descendants settled in various parts of the world and passed on their
knowledge and magical lore to all people. But in its passing, the lore
was often distorted or lost altogether.
-= GATES TO THE HOLY LAND =-
In Hyrule, there are many Hylian buildings which are mentioned
repeatedly in the legends. These buildings, which now lie in ruin, pale
shadows of their former splendor, are closely tied to the Triforce.
Some
were even said to house the Triforce...
If it were only a symbol of the gods, the Triforce would be coveted by
many. But a verse from the Book of Mudora (a collection of Hylian
legends and lore) made the Triforce even more desirable:
In a realm beyond sight,
The Sky shines gold, not blue.
There, the Triorce's might
Makes mortal dreams come true.
Many aggressively searched for the wish-granting Triforce, but no one,
not even the Hylian sages, was sure of its location; the knowledge had
been lost over time. Some said the Triforce lay under the desert,
others
