Most people who've played Zelda games I'm sure are aware of the three goddesses in Hylian mythology: Din, Nayru and Farore. But when I was a kid I remember Farore being spelled Fayore. I thought that's how the name was spelled for years, but then I saw people spelling it Farore all over the place and figured I was just mistaken.
One day I was doing a Zelda related search and accidentally spelled her name Fayore, and noticed that I wasn't the only one who had thought it was spelled with a Y. For example, there's this thread on a message board, but no one can find any sources that spell it fayore, and if you do a google search for Fayore there are a ton of other one off matches. It seems like a lot of people at one point or another have misspelled the name as Fayore.
That's a little too coincidental for me to think it's just poor spelling or poor memory on everyone's part. Is there any place in any of the Zelda games (Most likely OoT) that actually refer to Farore as Fayore? I figure there has to be, somewhere, in some version of one of the games. I can't seem to find any actual references to the name Fayore.

It's definitely always been Farore. I haven't been able to find any definitive proof that it was ever spelled Fayore in any game. If it's possible that you misread it, then any number of other people could have, as well. This just happens to be a pretty big coincidence.
