Ordona (Spirit)

From Zelda Wiki, the Zelda encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Template:Character Ordona is the Spirit of Light that Link encounters in Ordona Province while he is in Wolf form.[1] The spirit informs Link of the other three light spirits and the reason for their being in Hyrule; to protect it.[2] Although Ordona is one of the Spirits, it appears that it may not be considered as important as the other three. When talking to Lanayru, it says, "the goddesses ordered us three light spirits" to seal away the evil magic of the Interlopers,[3] which could imply that either Ordona was not present at the time of the incident, that Ordon and Ordona are not considered as part of Hyrule (as mentioned later in the game by Shad, who says "I don't believe he's from Hyrule proper at all"),[4] that Ordona is the least of the Spirits, seeing as it doesn't seem to share direct relation to a Goddess (Lanayru, Eldin, and with Faron in relation to Farore), or that Nintendo simply forgot to include Ordona in the story.

Trivia

  • The spirit appears in the form of an Ordon Goat, the indigenous animal of Ordon Village.
  • Ordona is the only one of the four light spirits that doesn't have a name that references one of the three goddesses.
