Din created the earth; therefore, she created sand. Nayru created the laws of the universe; therefore, she created time.

The Golden Goddesses do a fine job of covering all their bases. I hate to invoke Occam's Razor for theories, but seriously; why have a goddess of sand when one of the Golden Goddesses can clearly be such a goddess?

Because its not what the believe. Thats like saying why odn't we all worship Jesus, its because thats not what some people believe. Nayru could be the goddess of time. Din could be the goddess of sand. But that doesn't mean they are. You are saying why have more than three goddesses, well why not?

Master Dragmire

Why would their be a seperate Goddess (highest power in all of  Hyrule) for some dumb ol sand? Also, Nayru is almost inarguably the Goddess of Time, because she was the Oracle in OoA, which consisted of TIME traveling.....

Except the oracle is not the goddess.

And just because there'd be a goddess doesn't mean they'd be just as powerful as the three golden goddesses. I don't see why everyone assumes just because it's "Goddess of Time" that it has to be of the same caliber as Din, Nayru, or Farore (or have anything to do with them). There could be lower goddesses same as lower gods.

The thing though, there is no canon evidence of there being other  high goddesses.

Hi no Seijin

I use Artistic License.  This attack allows me to say Nayru is also the Goddess of Time if it suits my story.  If it doesn't suit my story, then I can make the Goddess of Time a different entity from Nayru.

...And the way I always thought it, the Goddess of time was the Goddess of courage, Nayru....
Also, the last time I checked, Nayru was the Goddess of Wisdom.  Although, I may be wrong, or Nintendo may switch up the goddesses on us just to be evil.

That's why I said lower goddess. Keep up, old chap.

D'oh, I got confused... Nayru is the goddess of wisdom. The reason why I got confused is because my memory messed up and thought that Oracle of Ages was originally meant to be called 'the tale of courage'... And  so on with the other game (seasons) being the tale of power.

Oh well...

I personally believethat the Goddess of Sand is Din, but there can be twisted gods. Y'know, gods that poison the Creation. Like when Din created and formed the earth her divine opponent poisoned the lands and made deserts, marshlands and volcanoes.

Although, on the other hand, if the Goddess of Sand is a different goddess she's more likely the opponent of Farore.

You don't know that.

There it is again. Why do people assume, just because it's a goddess, that it has anything to do with the Golden Goddesses?

QuoteYou don't know that.

It was my understanding that the three goddesses left after creating Hyrule. At least that's how it was told in OoT.

This can just be a minor god that is an underling to a higher god (possibly a Golden Goddess) that is in charge of deserts and sand while the higher deity is in charge of the more higher aspects of what Sand is catagorized in. (Earth, mabye)

But you have no proof that there are other Goddesses.

So the default position is to assume it's one of the Golden Goddesses? I don't see why this should be the case, considering we've seen other gods before. I guess the fact that everyone seems to bum rush to the idea of any goddess being a Golden Goddess doesn't make sense to me, seeing as how it never even entered my mind before.

And P.S. There's no proof that there aren't other goddesses either. :D

Wouldn't this apply to Hyrulians to? I mean, if you lived in the desert, you would pray to the Goddess of Sand, because its the ground you live on.I personally believe that there is a higher power(s) we can't possibly perceive, at work in the universe. I would make up I name, but that wouldn't make much sense because its imperceivable. We all have different beliefs, so wouldn't  the Zora's, Goron's, Deku's, and Hylians?

I didn't mean for those questions to be taken realistically, but also to point out a few things indirectly. There could even be a bunch of different religions outside Hyrule that have many different god(desse)s that created the Triforce.

Also, I'm a big history buff, and that actually insulted me a little.  :'(
