This is a theory extrapolated from the larger thread by Wolfess on Zelda Dungeon. Basically, the idea is that Hylia is a lesser goddess than the three golden goddesses but was tasked by man to watch after the Triforce. One big reason for this is the distinction in the Skyward Sword intro between "the gods of old" and "the old ones", as "the old ones" tasked Hylia with looking after the Triforce according to the prologue, as it shows several people in prayer around the Triforce.
This also may explain the Royal Family's deep connection to the Triforce and the Sacred Realm as a whole, considering Hylia reincarnated into Zelda from the first Skyward Sword game, and her descendants would share this blood of the goddess. I can't find the quote now but even Kass says something about it in Breath of the Wild about a princess with the blood of a goddess or something to that end.
