Events
The Breach of Demise
One dark, fateful day, the earth cracked wide and malevolent forces rushed forth from the fissure. They mounted a brutal assault upon the surface people, driving the land into deep despair... They burnt forests to ash, choked the land’s sweet springs, and murdered without hesitation. They did all this in their lust to take the ultimate power protected by Her Grace, the goddess. The power she guarded was without equal. Handed down by gods of old, this power gave its holder the means to make any desire a reality. Such was the might of the ultimate power that the old ones placed it in the care of the goddess. To prevent this great power from falling into the hands of the evil swarming the lands. The goddess gathered the surviving humans on an outcropping of earth. She sent it skyward, beyond the reach of the demonic hordes. Beyond even the clouds. With the Hylians safe, the goddess joined forces with the land dwellers and fought the evil forces, sealing them away. At last, peace was restored to the surface.[1]
The Goddess Hylia and the Ancient Battle
During the era of the goddess Hylia, many demons arose in pursuit of the Triforce. The leader, Demise, the Demon King, tried to take over the world with his evil powers.[1]
Hylia Raises Skyloft
After a battle against the demonic forces, Hylia gathered the humans who had survived, along with the Triforce, onto a plot of land and sent it into the sky. She positioned a heavy barrier of clouds between the island in the sky and the land below to protect the humans and the Triforce.[1]
Demise Is Sealed
The goddess and the remaining tribes on the Surface battled for their lives against Demise. They were victorious, and they sealed him away.[1]
Hylia Renounces Her Divinity
The land was saved, but the seal that kept the Demon King imprisoned was weak. In an attempt to destroy Demise, the goddess Hylia tried to use the power of the Triforce. However, a goddess cannot wield its power. Thus, the goddess Hylia decided to renounce her divinity and be reborn as a human.
With Hylia's passing, Impa of the Sheikah tribe was entrusted with watching over the sealed prison of the Demon King until she returned.[1]
The Sheikah Are Entrusted With Watching Over the Seal of Demise
After Hylia's passing, the Sheikah were entrusted with watching over the seal on Demise and to watch for her return. During the events of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Impa can be found inside of the Sealed Temple. She guides Link and provides information about the events of the past.[1]
The Zonai Are Entrusted With Protecting the Secret Stones
The Goddess Hylia entrusted the secret stones to the Zonai. The complete reason why she did this is unknown, but it speculated to be directly related to the events following the Breach of Demise.[2]
