It says the same thing the cutscene did, Din physically carved out the world's topography, Nayru created order and put the finishing touches on the world, and Farore created life on the world.
Even if they created other realms, that doesn't change that the best we see them do is planetary creation. Maybe they created those realms right after.
It's clear that they didn't just snap their fingers and things happened, seeing they had to physically fly to Hyrule which was cloaked in dark clouds and rain, and physically shape it themselves.
On the other hand Uranus, one of the Primordials, (And Zeus' grandfather), birthed the entire cosmos from his body.
Fair enough. It's been a few months since I read the historia. I do know they made termina on accident though, which means they don't have to physically be there to make a planet/dimension.
I feel like we've drifted from kratos vs Link to God of War vs Zelda mythos. How strong is kratos?
It's unknown how strong he is. We just know that the Power of Hope is the greatest power in the GoWverse, so he sits at the top potency-wise.
Cronos overthrew Uranus to rule the universe. And Helios overpowers Nyx, Goddess of the Stars and Nightsky every morning.
Kratos is well above both by end game.

Well thats...abstract? So are we really just gonna put hope vs triforce?
not sure about this, Chaos represent nothingness, Uranus represent Space and Stars. i think non-corporeal beings is the best option but Morpheus who doesn't have any physical body, considering Morpheus presence basically Fog, so... maybe....

Due to the Greek's limited understanding of the cosmos they did not have any notion of how large the universe was. This is why Apollo, god of the sun, is lesser than Zeus, god of the sky or heavens. The Greeks viewed the sun as being a part of the sky, same with the stars, and to their limited viewpoint the sky with its brutal thunderstorms which could send lightning to the earth seemed far more powerful than what appeared to merely be a big flash light in the sky.

This is why Typhon can both exist on earth in Greek mythology while being described as being so tall his head reached the stars. Because the Greeks did not know the stars were as far away as they are. Shit, they literally believed that the Earth was flat and surrounded by water, and that the sun set and rose from this water.
So I guess the important question is: do you have any proof that the God of War cosmos is like our own, and that the Protogenoi's influence was actually universal in it?

Well seeing that we've actually played the games, which are 3d, we already know they are made with more modern sensibilities about our reality and not just straight copying all of ancient greece's beliefs, though it does keep some. The typhon conundrum does not apply to them. The mountain he is buried under is not 'touching the stars' in the game. Not even mount olympus which is thousands of miles tall is touching the stars.
I asked a dev to clarify whether they created the universe and the answer was yes. In addition there are statements that the underworld actually stretches 'immeasurable' and even 'infinite' in span. And thats part of creation of course.

GoW Earth is flat, that's one of the things that they kept from mythology.However, it wouldn't surprise me if the Earth changed somehow after Zeus' death.
so about picture show GoW earth on ascension and GoW Chains of Olympus commercial ? you said GoW earth was round year ago. 🙁

In the god of war documentary: unearthing the legend, one of the producers specifically said the earth is flat, just like in myth. The gow3 artwork also shows this.
The ascension artwork was an easter egg and may have been referring to another game that got cancelled.
But again, we will see how the earth is now that the olympians are gone.

weird.... moon and stars on the sky are round. But the earth is flat.
So the GoW earth' size is still questionable. But How big GoW earth is, if you compare it to real life earth ?
perhaps due to the first great war between Gods and Titans ? that war capable reshaping mortal world.
and also : "The brothers Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades split the world apart. Zeus gained dominion over the skies and became the king of the gods, Poseidon became the ruler of the seas, and Hades became the ruler of the Underworld."
not sure if that story exist in GoW series.
