Honestly, no.
Zelda post oot is ultimately a japanese nationalist fable dressed up in western clothing.
the triforce is evocative of the 3 imperial regalia – the sword kusanagi no tsurugi, the imperial jewel, and the imperial mirror. these three items allegedly are stored away in 3 shinto shrines across japan.
the hylian religion, although sometimes bearing resemblances to catholic imagery (temple of time, definitely looks like a cathedral), often works itself out as being similar to shinto. For instance, the hylians clearly believe in minor local deities such as the great fairies or the provincial guardian spirits like ordona, etc, introduced in TP. this is much like with the kami, and like the kami, these local deities are often associated with natural objects, such as trees, springs, etc.
further, din nayru and farore are not classically theistic deities. they are not necessary first causes. the creation narrative shows them arriving onto a scene of chaotic pre-existent material, with din making the first move to shape the earth with her "strong flaming arms", rather than actually creating the earth ex nihilo. thus, the three golden goddesses fall to the same defeat of every other pagan god: they are ultimately creatures. the story of arriving onto a pre-existent world and then forming the land mirrors izanami and izanagi's arrival from heaven unto the sea, into which they drop water from a lance, causing the islands of japan to form.
even further, we can see a major parallel with amaterasu and the imperial cult in the form of hylia and the hylian royal family, who claim that their daughters are descended from hylia inasmuch as the japanese emperor claims that he is descended from amaterasu. we'll even be able to note that action is not performed in the name of the golden goddesses, but rather at the behest of the hylian line, which mirrors the fact that the japanese revere amaterasu and the emperor far more than izanami and izanagi, who are regarded as fickle birth and death deities nowadays (this fickleness being shown to us in allegory in the flood poured out on hyrule in WW).
overall, zelda is a shinto story. it's gods are ambivalent and fickle, suffer theological flaws, and are legion in number. they are not much better than the gods of the japanese or indeed the greeks, whom justin martyr call demons that men serve out of terror alone.
