[ Zelda's not exactly the biggest fan of gods either, having grown up trying to talk to a goddess who constantly ignored her. ]
I do not, I'm afraid. All I have to go off are fragments of legends from an era far predating written record. Were I not living proof of her divinity, I myself would doubt the facticity of her legend.
As best anyone knows, the Goddess Hylia gave up her divinity and was reborn as a mortal. I would hypothesize that this means she had to "die" in some manner. However, the women of my line "awaken" our divine powers by praying to the goddess and hearing her voice, which suggests that the goddess still exists in some form. Mayhaps the goddess somehow "split" herself into two beings, one mortal and one divine.
[ Oh, she's babbling. That's probably more info than Anonymous actually wanted. ]
Pray forgive my tangent. I am something of a scholar in my spare time and I fear I am prone to long bouts of conjecture at times.
