Hylia's responsibility was tested as evil beings emerged from a fissure beneath the ground seeking the [[Triforce]]. Called demons, they served an evil power so great it was known only as [[Demise]]. The demons ravaged the land. In response, Hylia gathered the surviving humans on an outcropping of earth and, along with the Triforce, moved her people to safety high above. The land and the sky were then separated by a sea of clouds.

The land and the sky were then separated by a sea of clouds.


Joining forces with the land dwellers, Hylia sealed Demise and his forces after a fierce battle. However, it soon became apparent that the seal would not last long against Demise's fearsome power, and the grave injuries sustained in the battle left Hylia in a weakened state. Planning for Demise's return, Hylia created [[Fi]] to assist her chosen hero, and decided to abandon her divine form and transfer her soul to the body of a mortal, knowing that the supreme power of the Triforce cannot be unlocked by a goddess. She also ensured that the wielder of the [[Master Sword]], [[Link]], would have his heroic spirit live forever.<ref>''Hyrule Historia'', ''Skyward Sword'' prequel manga</ref>

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]'', Hylia was reborn as [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]], and the goddess's likeness can be found on the [[Statue of the Goddess]] in [[Skyloft]] and the smaller [[goddess statue]]s on the surface.
