Hylia is a goddess of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda. She was entrusted the world and the Triforce by the Three Golden Goddesses after they left the world for other places.
History
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Hylia's great responsibility was soon tested as evil beings emerged from beneath the ground seeking the Triforce. Called demons, they served an evil power so great it was known only as "Demise".
Without the power to fight, Hylia's people could only cry out for help to the goddess. She answered, cutting out a portion of the land and, along with the Triforce, moving her people to safety high above. The land and the sky were then separated by a sea of clouds.
After a ferocious battle, Demise was sealed away. However, it became apparent that the seal would not last long against Demise's great power. Hylia knew that her power alone was not enough to stop Demise and that her only hope was to unlock the power of the Triforce. Since a goddess cannot wield the power of the Triforce, Hylia sacrificed her divinity. Reborn as a [[Hylian] and working together with Link, the goddess destroyed Demise. Eternally reborn, she lives among her people as a Hylian in the kingdom now known as Hyrule.[1]
