“The technological capabilities of the Sheikah at this time were advanced beyond the level of those of the Hylians. In the Kingdom of Hyrule, the sacred power of the royal family is their authority, and civilization itself has repeatedly declined and prospered, so the technology of the Sheikah can be said to be entirely over-engineered. In particular, the technology to operate huge structures using control devices was likened to the power of the gods, as it was able to defeat Calamity Ganon with its powerful energy. Because it was so powerful, people grew to fear it.”

The sage Rauru deemed the Master Sword the final key to the Sacred Realm. It is said that the Master Sword was wielded by a hero who traveled between two time periods. However, even Rauru himself believed this was merely a legend. After building the "Temple of Time" as the legend says, Rauru abandoned his physical form and retreated to the sages of the Sacred Realm. The secrets of the Sacred Realm were passed down to the Sheikah tribe for the time to come.

Thanks to the devout people, the world remained at peace. The Triforce was protected by the priests, and this rich and beautiful land, which prospered under its protection, was called the "Land of the Gods." However, the Triforce was targeted by evildoers and monsters, and conflicts began to arise. And so, the righteous Hylian lineage established the Kingdom of Hyrule in order to control it.

A person descended from Zelda—who was the reincarnation of the goddess Hylia—founded the kingdom of Hyrule. A castle was built near the Temple of Time, in the center of Hyrule, to secretly guard the Triforce in the Sacred Realm.

How about a few more of these for the first day? As a treat.
Rauru, the sage of light, built the Temple of Time over the sole entrance into the Sacred Realm. Using a power that transcends time, the Sacred Realm was sealed with the Master Sword. The pedestal of the Master Sword is closed behind the Door of Time, and the keys to open it are the three spiritual stones. These were entrusted to the forest folk, fire folk, and water folk for safekeeping.

Long before the kingdom of Hyrule was ever established, there was Skyloft, an island in the sky lifted up by the Goddess. The people rode large birds called Loftwings to travel through the air. Their belief in the Goddess was deeply rooted, and those who returned to the surface can be said to be the forebears of the Hylians (p.008, p.064).
