** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' states that Din, the Goddess of Power, was the one who created the physical earth of Hyrule; this is the reason that the rocky [[SiliconBasedLife Gorons]] are associated with her, as evidenced by their tribal emblem being the same as her's and by their home region in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' and ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' being called "Eldin province." Nayru, the Goddess of Wisdom, is explicitly stated to have created the laws of physics and metaphysics and is also implied to have specifically created water; the aquatic [[FishPeople Zora]], with their more hierarchical social structures compared to most other races, have a similar association with her as the Gorons do with Din, and their home region is called "Lanayru province" (on a more subtle level, the fact that Princess Zelda and to an extent the rest of the Royal Family of Hyrule are associated with Nayru's Triforce of Wisdom parallels how the Zora are portrayed as being much friendlier with the Royal Family and Hylians in general than most other races). Lastly, Farore, the Goddess of Courage, created all the lifeforms of Hyrule and is most closely associated with the plant-like Kokiri/Koroks who live in the lush forested regions of "Faron province."

* The characters of ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'' worship the Harvest Goddess, a local god who lives in a lake. The [[VideoGame/HarvestMoon1 first game]] implies that other gods exist, however the characters worship the Harvest Goddess over them due to the fact they live in a rural farming community. Later on the Harvest King and Harvest Lord were introduced however they're not worshipped like the Goddess. Of note, there are ''various'' different Harvest Goddess' for different towns.
