I think that ordona is based on Odowla. He seems to represent the 'fifth' deity in Termina, which means he would be the fourth if he were to somehow be sent to Hyrule. And don't forget the quote: "I hear he's not from Hyrule Proper at All!" Feel free to tell me that I'm wrong, but don't spit on me or anything.--Claire 19:23, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Okay, what? Ordona = Wolf-like creature. Odolwa = Giant warrior. And I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that Odolwa seems to represent a fifth Terminian deity. Is it just because he's also giant? --Ando 14:14, 18 February 2008 (EST)
I thought that Ordona appeared in the form of a Ordon goat, not a wolf. That aside, I am very curious as to what deity Ordona is supposed to represent...it's not made very clear in TP at all. Pel'marn Dakari 18:50, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
Yeah.
Um.
Why did I say wolf before? There was some reason, but I don't remember what... But yeah, goat. --Ando (T : C) 20:40, 4 April 2008 (EDT)

I think that Ordona is just a combination of the names of the three golden goddesses; Faror e, D in, and Na yru.--Sacul097 04:49, 25 May 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]


That's an interesting combination. Perhaps the Goddesses created Ordona for some reason...to protect the Hero perhaps?

Actually, I'm pretty sure that all four of the light spirits were created at the same time.HyruleBiologist 07:16, 9 March 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No, because only three light spirits are seen fightin the dark interlopers. Or maybe Ordon isn't a part of Hyrule because: A. It wasn't covered by twilight in any stage of the game. B. Shad mentions that Link isn't from Hyrule. C. The guy that sells oil in the forest refers to Link as "Ordonian". D. The only way Ordon is connected to the rest of Hyrule is a bridge.

So maybe it's named after an Ordonian deity. --Dorlo1994 09:16, 30 August 2010 (EDT)

Name correlation

Ok, I've heard a lot of different oppinions and now it clashes on the page. Some say that Eldin, LaNayru, and Faron bear correlation to the names of the Goddesses, but not Ordona (I am one of these people), while others suggest that Farore's name is "shared" by both Faron and Ordona. This article says that the name Ordona is taken from part of Farore's name, and then in the Trivia section says Ordona isn't named after a Goddess. Which are we gonna go with?

I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that Ordona takes part of her name from Farore. It's not as obvious as the other Spirits. So I think we should just go by the second one. Dany36 19:21, 23 June 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Fortunatly, I've recently misspelled Ordona with an 'i' instead of the second 'o' -> "Ordina". Interestingly, this spelling is correlated with the name of the three goddesses: FarOre, din, naryu. Also , as for Madame Fanadi, those correlations with the goddesses are yet only found with english names (I don't know the Japanese ones). Jeangabin 06:35, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Japanese text

The Japanese text in TP doesn't mention anything about "3 light spirits" just light spirits. Do we stick by the NoA text or go by the more literal translation? -Pinecove

Well I'm pretty sure that as a general rule we go by the NoA (anyone correct me if I'm wrong about that), but you'll notice that there are only three light spirits in the actual visuals of the cutscene anyway. =\ Embyr 75  --Talk-- 03:38, 25 June 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
