"Nayru... Poured out her wisdom onto the land, and gave it the spirit of law."

Nayru, commonly referred to as the Goddess of Wisdom in historical, verbal tales and literature, is one of the three Golden Goddesses in the legend of the creation of Hyrule.

When Link casts the spell made out of her essence, Nayru's Love, a shield of light will appear around him for protection.

Nayru is often depicted with a string instrument or singing. Because of her association with water, her main color is blue. Nayru's crest is the Mark of Nayru.
