At Zelda Universe there are clans that the majority of members are divided into. The Farore Clan, the Din Clan, and the Nayru Clan. Each clan represents different personalities and strengths. Analogous to the Goddesses the Clans are named after, Farore stands for Courage, Din for Power, and Nayru for Wisdom. The Clans also each have their own color, which too represents the Goddess they are named after: green for Farore, red for Din, and blue for Nayru. The Clan mods put members in the clan that they think the member best fits into, unless the member in question could fit into two different clans, in which case they are allowed to pick. Joining a clan is not mandatory, but is a common and fun practice of Zelda Universe's members. The Clan Forums are more laid back and less strict than other boards, where games and pointless discussions are often had. The Clan Arena is where battles, games and competitions of talent occur between the three clans.

The Farore Clan
The Farore Clan is known for holding popular/"cool" members. The Farore Clan has an environment of its own. It is not as different as Nayru, but also not as hot-headed as Din. Most of the members of this clan enjoy hanging out in the safety of the Utopia for many reasons, the main one being the many 'interesting' conversations that take place daily. Each year, the Farorians have been known to throw a party to celebrate Christmas, as well as many other occasions, like this year, they threw a newbie party for all new Farore members. Of all the clans, you are most likely to find that Farore has the kindest members on ZU. They are a wonderful, friendly bunch, but do not be alarmed if you are greeted with something alarming. Farorean/Farorians tend to be quite unpredictable. Of course, if you're a dinnie visiting, you may not live long until you come face-to-face with Poe Black's flame thrower... Farore's moderators are Burty, DekuQueen, and Marky.
Farore generally has Pepsi everyday and members of the clan are nice to each other, but if you try to invade Farore, watch your back. Farore is always active, with it's RPG thread and a thread dedicated to spam, it is a very fun loving clan. Farore is full of love and kindness, in the Utopia, Farorians like to share what they've been through. Farore holds very talented people, amusing people, caring people and all other sorts.
The Din Clan
Also known as the Clan of Power, the Din Clan has a reputation for pyromania and a love of blowing stuff up. The fact that several of its members have been known to loudly proclaim their apparent lack of sanity has added to this reputation, although there is some speculation that Nayrulian propaganda is at the heart of is harsher aspects. However, many members of the Clan itself - commonly referred to as Dinnies - would be quick to belittle any efforts made by the "jellyfish" of Clan Nayru.
The second defining characteristic of Clan Din is its friendly rivalry with the jellyfish, otherwise known as Clan Nayru. This rivalry stretches back far enough that few, if any, can remember the origins, or even if there was any origin as such - as far as most members are concerned, the two Clans clash simply because it's what they do.
Din is ruled over by Lord Tiroth and Pani, while past moderators have included the Great Lioness and her predecessor, Tristann Velorei.
The Nayru Clan
The Nayrulian Empire, also known as the Nayru Clan, the Imperium of Nayru, or just Nayru for short, known for its tight-knit yet welcoming community, friendly [citation needed] rivalry with Din, and megalomaniac Clan mod (Emperor SacredSturgeon of Nayru), as well as being the Clan that all three of ZU's Webmasters are from (thus, technically, making it more powerful than its rival Din, something the Emperor is fond of pointing out). Nayru was known for a long time as "The Clan of Pervyness" or "the Pervy Clan", because sexual topics would often pop up, and Nayru's moderation when it comes to such topics is more liberal than that of the other two Clans. Nayru has cut back significantly on such topics in more recent times however, following complaints from members, though Nayru's moderation stance towards these topics is still more lenient than that of the other Clans.
Nayru contains many members that have been with the Clan for ages, and several of them hardly if ever leave the blessed grounds of the Imperium because they love their Clan so much. Despite being closely knit, the Children of the Empire are generally welcoming to both new members and visiting members that aren't from Nayru. For example, the Nayrulians generally regretted it when Site Staff members could no longer access Clans, because they enjoyed visits from such members as Rew.
Nayru has a proud history, having grown from a small group of rag-tag members to a full-fledged Empire. In its early days, it was looked over by various mods, including Lozzie (Now known as James), Jason (now known as Jason), and Malony. Lady Miniblin the Great officially took over the reigns on August 28, 2005, and has been the beloved leader of the Clan for a long time, until finally stepping down on April 21, 2007, to the collective grief of the Clan. Her reign saw Nayru grow strong and proud and become an active and tightly-knit community, and she will be remembered as a great mod and considered an awesome member by her former subjects. The next day came the announcement of who was to succeed her. Her legacy being impressive as it is, it was decided that she needed not one, but two successors, and these successors were SacredSturgeon and Awkin.
Nayru has, at various points, gone through rough spots, troubles, as well as periods of inactivity, but the dedication and spirit of its members have ensured that Nayru has always pulled through, and the Clan continues going strong to this very day.Nayru also seems to have the biggest variety and talent of digital artists.
Nayru is also the clan that all three of the Zelda Universe Webmasters belong to, and thus is the most powerful of the 3 clans.
How do I join a Clan, and do I have to?
It is entirely optional to join a clan, however it is a fun thing to do. To join a clan you must have been a member of Zelda Universe for at least one month, and have made a minimum of 50 posts in the forums.[1] Once these qualifications are met, send a Private Message to a Super Mod requesting the Clan Test. They will then send you the Clan Test, where you must respond to multiple-choice, short answer, and long answer questions. Based on your answers to these questions, the Super Mod will place you into a clan, giving you access to your clans forum, and the Clan Arena.
First of all, you must’ve been a member at ZU for one month, and also have fifty (50) posts. This is to make sure you just don’t get into a clan and then go inactive. Second, you send a request by PM to either Awkin, Tiroth, Pani, DK, DekuQueen, Aeffles, sadida, or Xeno about taking the clan test. Once you’ve taken the test, you will be placed in one of the clans. Only send the request to one moderator at a time.
