Ordon=Order?

[DW]

Okay, me and wiizard came up with this theory a bit ago. You know how everyone says there is a fourth triforce? and each piece is for a Goddess, blah blah blah, and then the whole TP name thing about the Goddeses, and what could Ordon be.... Anyways, we think that there isn't a fourth part of the triforce, but on the hylian shield the triforce represents gods. the three triangles in the middle could be the three who created Hyrule grouped together because they worked together. then the fourth triangle being carried above the triforce is Ordon. The triangle being above the triforce symbolizes the god being above the other three, so it could be like God and his angels. Ordon sounds like order, so could it mean he orders them?

[Evahn]

On the OoT shield, the fourth piece is below the Triforce, because apparently "the bird is carrying the fourth piece to the middle" and so on. On which shield is it above?

But I've been thinking the same thing. In Lanayru's story about the interlopers, only three of the spirits are mentioned. So where did Ordona come from?

[DW]

oh. Well, the main point is that what if there were a higher God, and they were angels? Or maybe it would be more like Zeus, and then the lower Gods.

[wiizard]

Also as D. Nohanse Hyrule said the shield could work like a map showing the other triforce under the triforce we know and ordon at the south as the map of TP. Also as it is upside down it will match perfectly with the missing part of the triforce (power, wisdom and courage all together) and if it matches it will be a perfect triangle without a space in it's center, maybe this part is needed to joint all triforces in perfect balance or something like that. But why in TP in link's hylian shield the bird do not have the upside down triforce under it?

[Lemmy]

Because nintendo realized it was causing to much controversy among Zelda fans. So they fixed it.

[DW]

because there really isn't any background or timeline, and they just enjoy watching us complicate everything.

[wiizard]

and if a good idea appears they will use it for new zelda games

That certainly is an interesting theory, but I'm don't think there is enough evidence to prove it. Considering Nintendo changed the shield, it leads me to believe the "fourth piece of the Triforce" on the OoT shield was removed because Nintendo intended it to simply be a nice design, and by removing it they are proving this. And about the name thing, I think it might just be more of Nintendo recycling various bits of information, as they do in many games.

[DW]

ah, but it is just so irksome that they have Ordon along with the Goddess names...

[Commodore Axilon]

oh. Well, the main point is that what if there were a higher God, and they were angels? Or maybe it would be more like Zeus, and then the lower Gods.

The lower gods theory has always been my favorite. I mean, we do have Zephos and Cyclos, the gods of wind, in TWW.

[DW]

yes...they would fit in with lower Gods, being kept on Hyrule instead of ascending with the three (or four) others.

[Mysterious F.]

Well, it is most likely there are more than three Godesses. The legend only says "Three Golden Godesses came from above and created the Earth." That doesn't mean there are only three. More proof is that LTTP was originally called Triforce of the Gods, which most likely means there are at male deities not mentioned. Plus, just because there could be more doesn't mean there is another Triforce.

Also, one last thing, it appears to me that the spirits were named after the province they are in, and that they were originally animals, that gained much holy power by drinking from the Holy Springs of their provinces. When they died, the Gods and Goddesses assigned them to guard the power of the springs with their powerful energy, and contained their most powerful abilities in those mask. And there are four, as seen when Lanaryu taught you about the Four Spirits, but Link never hold Ordona's mask.

[wiizard]

They weren't masks they were vessels the vessels of light and link never had the one of ordonia because this territory wasn't covered into twilight, this could mean this place had a more powerful energy of light or something like that or simply because the twilight didn't expanded that much and link stopped it from expanding before it reached that place.

[DW]

So if Ordona was the head God, or Zeus-like figure, then maybe he commanded Nayru, Din, and Farore to create Hyrule, and so that's why he was included but no other Gods were-those were the only four that took part in Hyrule.

[Mysterious F.]

Never said he was a god. I said he was an animal named after the province. It is most likely, however, that the province was named after a god.
