[@Zeroth] I also have not played Skyward Sword, though I always kinda got the feeling that Hylia was a lesser God, and that Din, Farore and Nayru created the world and then left? OoT definitely put them in the Creation Myth, which usually means they're the big fish.

Also, I'm pretty sure Hyrulian is the nationality, Hylian the elf species. Ordonians are probably a race of Hylians, but I could be wrong.

I'm going to go look at the wiki, people have thought about this before, for sure.


Edit: ok, so Wiki says that Hylia was entrusted with the Triforce after the Golden Goddesses left, and that after she gave up her godhood to use the Triforce, her soul continually reincarnates as Princess Zelda. Also she made the Master Sword.

Also, Ordonian is a nationality, as Ordon apparently isn't part of Hyrule?
