Better image
Would it be O.K if we could use this picture for the main pic in this article? Not only dose it look better but it is the one used in the Wikipedia Triforce article and in not copyrighted by Nintendo (or anyone else for that mater).--ShutUpNavi 02:26, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I disagree, I think the current one looks better, plus this one is only fan art rather than an official picture. Happyjoe5 09:38, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I like Shutupnavi's image more. It's cleaner and more accurately modeled. Plus, it isn't as obnoxiously as the rotating one. Is there any indication the Triforce actually does that? I somehow doubt it, which therefore also makes that image misleading as well. Unless someone can give solid evidence that the Triforce's natural rest-state involves the constant individual rotation of each segment, I vote to replace it with Shutupnavi's image. 75.50.158.60 00:43, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

We also have the SVG version : File:Triforce.svg.--Richard 01:12, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Guys, a picture that actually moves is more eye-catching that a stationary fan-art. The one SUN has is a good one, to be sure, but it's not nearly as eye-catching as the current one. I think the one that's on there now is far superior to either of these stationary pictures. I'm for the one that's going to look the best and attract the most viewers, and that's the one that's on there now. Hero of Time 87 02:00, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

i'm like HOT, the rotating one is kinda neat. the last one's a good image, but it's also a lil dull. ZeldaFanatic98 04:53, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I actually have to say that the rotating one is rather distracting and obnoxious, as well as the annoying play of light that doesn't make sense (over the faces). I'm new and when I first looked at this page I had to say it bugged me. Also, the whole attracting more viewers thing is, I think, unnecessary...I know I don't come here to look at pretty pictures, I come here to update my information and see stuff I missed.User:Light and Shadow Aerwyn Caladhiel Elena Telcontar 18:22, 18 July 2009 (UTC) 18:22, 18 July 2009 (UTC) Which one?

Zelda
"Zelda does not wish to rule with an iron fist, nor does she have the courage to stand up to Ganondorf, and only fights when Link is doing the main work in the battles against Ganondorf."

This seems to make out that Zelda is some kind of coward, which, as far as I can tell, she is not. Should this sentence be edited? Xykeb Zraliv 18:25, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

In Wind Waker and Twilight Princess she fights Ganondorf along with Link and also helps Link (But does not get fully involved in the battle) in Ocarina of Time. How is that not standing up to Ganondorf. And before you get on me about the whole 'Let Link do the main work' think, I'd like to note that it wouldn't really help to become any more involved in the battle, it's not like she could really do anything to hurt Ganondorf other than fire Light Arrows. Link is the one with the Master Sword, after all. Xykeb Zraliv 18:25, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

She only attacks slowly to balance the game. If she attacked quickly, Ganondorf would have no chance (What with Link attacking him at the same time). And I don't really see why gasping would define her as a coward - If your friend were fighting an all-powerful sorcerer that can transform into a huge, destructive beast and you couldn't help him, and then the sorcerer (Transformed into the beast form) started swiping at him with huge swords, you probably would gasp, exclaim, yell, etc. too.

Triforce reunite in Intro
In the intro section, it mentions that "it seems to be possible" for the Triforce to be reunited. It makes mentions of many different games, but makes no mention at all of Windwaker, where Ganondorf actually does reunite the entire triforce. Should someone add this? because I think it is extremely relevant.-LeoLab 15:54, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Good point. I fixed it. -- Auron  Kaizer Kennedy! 17:38, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Inanimacy
Is that whole section necessary? Shouldn't it be something more like, "Among fans, there is a debate as to whether or not the Triforce is sentient. While its granting of wishes to both good and evil people may seem like a lack of ability to make choices, it may also represent (something something something I hadn't really thought this far ahead)" Or should it be removed entirely? Aeronflux 20:26, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Majora's Mask Appearance
While playing said game today I noticed that in the beginning after Link turns into a Deku that looking down on that circle of light on the ground there are three gold triangles. Now it isn't fashioned like the triforce, but they are indeed there. Should this be mentioned in the appearences part under Majora's Mask? I don't have a screenshot but if anyone wants to try it out go ahead.
 * You mean this (image on right)? I don't see any resemblance.--Richard 03:49, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

It looks more like a radiation symbol to me. It sparks a theory. Maybe zelda actually takes place in the far off future but due to nuclear war and the colapse of civilization we are sent back into the medieval age. Some people are mutated by the radiation and turn into the gorons, deku, and zora. I stole the whole thing from a book.  Metroidhunter32  13:14, 13 October 2008 (UTC) It looks like a Triforce to me, just the top part is at the bottom instead. It does seem possible, really. midnaslave 17:50, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

i do not have an account on here but perhaps it is meant to show that the triforce has been broken up, meaning Link is no longer in Hyrule

Tri-Force on hand?
Ok, those chosen get the triforce symbol on the back of their hand, which hand... Is it always the left? or is it dependant on wether they are left or right handed? what? Not listed here, so wanted to bring it up? Should this be mentioned here as well, or placed in each related characters descriptions only?

its on gannondorfs right, im not sure about zelda Oni Dark Link

hacks
i seen a hack of some one obtaining the triforce on you tube (cant remember the exact name and foun it since) and im fairly positive its real. Oni Dark Link
 * Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf already have the triforce—  Triforce   14 ( ... ) 22:01, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I think he refers to another one of these fake videos depicting Link obtaining the Triforce. If one goes through all the source files in the game, you will not find anything about a secret location with the Triforce. Hence, it's not impossible You sir, have been hoodwinked, taken in...AUSTIN 3:16'd. -- Auron  Kaizer ( ...Kaizer! ) 01:36, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

no im fairly sure its real. a portal on hyrule field brings link to a dark room with a chest which he opens and gets the triforce. it even says when he gets it "you found the triforce. you can already feel its power flowing through you". ill try find it again. Oni Dark Link
 * Read my lips. THERE IS NO CHANCE IN HELL THAT IS REAL. Just don't add it to the article or anything dude. -- Auron  Kaizer ( ...Kaizer! ) 01:12, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * how do you know its not real? you havent seen it. and i dont plan on adding it otherwise i already would of Oni Dark Link
 * Because, as I have stated, Link Zelda and Ganondorf ALREADY HAVE THE PIECES OF THE TRIFORCE. Unless the goddesses created a spare, I highly doubt Nintendo would make something in the game, even a removed scene, where Link obtains the Triforce. It's as simple as that. —  Triforce   14 ( ... ) 21:36, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * fine believe what you want to believe im merly saying this scene exisits and if you want to disagree then i cant stop you unless i find the proof again Oni Dark Link
 * ok found the video again and discovered you were right. its a texture hack buts its really quite good. i musnt of read the discription the first time. if you want to see it heres the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8-Y299l7sk&feature=related

hey
the trifforce has already been featured as featured article, so why does it still have the nomination template, and doesn't show that it was a former featured article? User:Ccbermanzzpedia 14:21, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Origins of the symbol
Is there any documentation to back up the idea that the Triforce is based on the symbol/crest of the Shinto goddess Benten? Because it sure would be quite the accidental coincidence if it weren't. If there's any source to back it up - interviews with Zelda creators, etc, it really should be included in this article, don't you think? LordAmeth (talk) 17:09, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * well yes it would, but we do not do citations on any of our articles, so sorry LordAmeth, it's done differently here than where you are. -- C 2  Phantom Zant.png 17:14, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Proposed cleanup initiative
I sincerely mean no offense, but in proportion to this article's importance I find that it is noticeably lacking in quality. There are problems in consistency of link usage, as well as grammar and sentence structure. Also, I propose that some of the theories presented regarding the tetraforce and other highly speculative pieces be reviewed further and at the very least edited for quality assurance, if not nixed entirely. I am quite new here, but I would love to baby this article for a while as a sort of entry project. Anyone else support my move that this article become the site of major cleanup and quality control? Deku Hero (talk) 11:42, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * eh. it needs clean-up. maybe sure.  just dont become like this guy or have huge amount of edits on a single page.  if you want ill make a user sub page for you, so that way you can work on it to your hearts content, without anybody unwantedly bothering you. maybe?-- C  2  Phantom Zant.png 13:00, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Tetraforce
I suppose.-- C  2  / C C  23:15, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

could the tetra force and the goddess of time not be a seperate goddess but the idea of all the goddesses working or being together.--Ironknuckle1 00:32, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

zelda ii
dont know why im asking this since evryone hates zelda ii but who weilds the triforce of power in zelda ii? it appears as if Link keeps it at the end of the first game does this make it a possibilty that he has it in zelda II as well? or did he give it to princess zelda and if so why since he was allowed to have it at the end of the first game and it would be a usefull item in his journey Oni Dark Link 19:37, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Link didn't probably have the guts to rule as powerful, so the Triforce Of Power couldn't have merged with Link, instead it probably remained where Gannon was defeated. Even if Link would have kept the Triforce, it would have left him as imagining Link as an all-powerful leader is a little exaggerating. SandFlyer83 (Talk) 03:37, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

You see Link obtaining it at the end then giving one triforce piece to zelda and keeping one for himself Oni Dark Link 03:41, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

He probably took the Triforce Of Power, then gave Wisdom back to Zelda. The Triforce Of Power then left Link in between the two games, and the Triforce Of Courage was discovered. SandFlyer83 (Talk) 03:47, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Their own article
Shouldn't the Triforce of Courage, Triforce of Power, and Triforce of Wisdom have their own article? --Cococrash11 (talk) 07:16, December 14, 2009 (UTC)Cococrash11
 * Eh... not really. There isn't a whole lot of difference between the two, and I think in this case that keeping them the same article is the better option.-- C  2  / C C  13:15, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

They are very diffrent like how they function and alot of diffrent facts about them even in diffrent games. --Cococrash11 (talk) 09:19, December 26, 2009 (UTC)Cococrash11
 * I kinda like the idea and was going to do it myself a long time ago, but I either forgot it or changed my mind. --Auron  Kaizer !  17:22, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * AK, if you want to do it, I'm all for it. Just realize how much work this would be. This is one of those few things that pretty much needed to be decided on from the beginning. But if you want to, I have no issues with it. And yes I realize this was from December, but its a major issue and I'm just seeing it now. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 00:13, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Appearance in spirit tracks!!!!!
Who says it appears in it? I mean if you haven't played it how do you know.— Triforce   14 Triforce4.png 14:48, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

Wish Granting
This is probably a differential in power, as A Link to the Past was probably in a different timeline, and the Triforce of that Timeline could have been altered. The one in Wind Waker was probably different than the one in ALttP. Also, Link's wish would have been one-sided, it would have restored the realm, and would have left it in its position, as Ganon was now defeated. Although you could be right. If ALttP, and WW have the same timeline, it could be a typo. SandFlyer83 (Talk) 03:44, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

I always did lack Common Sense :) SandFlyer83  (Talk) 03:55, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Tetraforce evidence
Thats hardly evidence or proof. And it was noted long ago hence why other later Zeldas dont have it Oni Dark Link 22:33, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

i don't think there is a fourth piece but you should make a page for it. it is a major theory in zelda. --Red Rider (talk) 00:10, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Protection
Why is this protected? --A.Burr (talk) 04:58, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

The Triforce In TP and The Timeline Split
First of all I'd like to apologize if there's actual canonical information I'm missing, and I'm getting worked up over nothing. Anyway:

Ok guys, from what I know (and I've played through all the relevant games and re-watched endings and whatnot), the entire section about the Triforce in Twilight Princess is a bunch of groundless theorizing to make an excuse for the Triforce being in possession of Ganon/Link/Zelda during TP. I personally can't actually find proof that the Triforce even is in TP. Even if we assume that the Triforce is in TP (I still find that to be an assumption and not fact, but maybe it's just me), I'm fairly certain the explanations this page has for how it got there are unconfirmed theories. If they are, it needs to say so in this page instead of stating them as facts. I talk at length about this whole issue [HERE] on my talk page. I'd like to quickly point out here though that the Triforce emblem has been known appear on the hands of people who don't actually have a piece.--Fierce Deku (talk) 01:39, November 17, 2010 (UTC)
