Proof there is more than three god(desses)

[Mysterious F.]

Well, two things to prove it:

A) In MM, the Goddess of Time was mentioned a few times.

B) In TWW, Zephos (the green frog on a cloud) is called THE GOD OF WIND! By extention, his brother (the pink frog) is at least a high deity.

[Commodore Axilon]

I always assumed the three goddesses were the higher creator deities analogous to Yahweh/Allah, and there being a pantheon of lesser deities (e.g. Zephos, Cyclos, Goddess of Time) analogous to the Roman/Hindu/Egyptian pantheon.

[Mysterious F.]

I've heard of Allah, but who's Yahweh?

I'm sure there are equal god(desse)s to Farore, Din, and Nayru, we jsut haven't seen them.

[Commodore Axilon]

I've heard of Allah, but who's Yahweh?

Jehovah. The Christian/Jewish god.

[Mysterious F.]

Oh. I'm not religious, so that's probably why. And the fact that a large amount of Christians have forgotten what the name was.

Still, there are probably god(desse)s equal to the main three in the series.

Also:

C) TWW dungeon called Tower of the GODS.

Just because it says 'god' doesn't mean that it is a strictly male connotation. If the Tower of the Gods were meant to present other deities, then what evidence is there that it refers to other deities?

Heheh...The thing is that we have yet to see anything in the zelda series that acts as an equivolant to Nayru, Din, or Farore. And the way I always thought it, the Goddess of time was the Goddess of courage, Nayru.

ever heard of the term 'demi-god'? It means something like an elemental spirit, but something that has power over only a little bit, as opposed to the dominance of the trinity.

And the Four Giants do not count, because they are of Termina, not of Hyrule.

[Eralk Fang]

A. General consensus makes the Goddess of Time Nayru. Nayru created the laws of the universe; time would certainly be one of them.

B. What Commodore Axilon said.

C. Gods can refer to the entire pantheon, the supreme three (The Golden Goddesses) and the various sundry other lower deities.

[Bboy94]

I think Majora was once a goddess. That would explain people worshipping her and her mask.

Plus there are several references to the Sand Goddess.

[Eralk Fang]

People worshiped Majora? I think she was feared more than anything... and why would she only be found in Termina, and promptly killed by a chosen of Farore's?

I think the Sand Goddess is Din; she created the earth, hence such a connection.

[Bboy94]

>_> Do you see the statues, I don't think thats what Din looks like.

And umm, that was Majora's Mask. I think there was a thing where a tribe in Termina worshipped Majora. There are symbols of the Triforce in the 4th dungeon in MM. So why shouldn't the Goddesses be interdemensional.

[Mysterious F.]

Yep.

By Gods, I meant Gods AND Goddesses.

If these are the same Goddesses, then surely they'd have the same names.

People did worship Majora. But it could have been a tribal thing. It mgith not have even been a god, just a powerful object similar to the gods.

The manga says Fierce Deity Link is a god.

[Eralk Fang]

Bboy94, the only other visual representation of Din is a giant golden woman. It's not so far-fetched to think that the Gerudo thought of Din along the lines of a Gerudo woman; the Judeo-Christian God is along the lines of an old, Caucasian man. The innermost statue of Din has a Triforce and wears a massive ruby; Triforce for the Goddesses, red is Din's color.

A tribe used the mask in rituals. It never stated anything about worship.

Kannochi, the manga is not canon; it openly contradicts the games at several points.

And the same god can have different names. I direct you to the Roman goddess Juno, known to the Greeks as Hera. And the God of Judaism is the same God as Christianity and Islam, per their own holy books. The Judeo-Christian-Islamic God is known as God, Allah, and Yahweh.

[Mysterious F.]

I know that all. The Romans BOTH had a different language AND wanted to seem superior to Greece. The other one is a true fact. In fact, Hercules is really Heracles, Jupiter is Zeus and got named that because they thought lightning was on it, and every other planet besides Earth is the Roman name for a Greek God.

Irronic how they worship the same god and fight each other on end, isn't it? It's also sad.

Still, this all serves as proof.

[Eralk Fang]

The Roman goddess of the earth is Tellus. Her Greek name is Gaea.

It doesn't matter the language difference. They were referring to the same gods and goddesses, albeit in a different tongue and with different names. So it's perfectly plausible that Din and Nayru are known by different names.

[Mysterious F.]

Well, actually, we know no names for Sand and Time, they are jsut stated as goddesses. These could be different ones; or two gods in the same figure, like how Poseidon was god of both Sea, Earthquakes, and Horses.
