The [[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|first game]] only featured the Triforce of Power and the Triforce of Wisdom. The Triforce of Courage was added to the group [[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|one game later]]. This implies that the name "Triforce" initially referred to the shape of the pieces, instead of the number of pieces as is commonly believed. |

He uses this piece of the Triforce to throw Hyrule into chaos in ''The Legend of Zelda'' and ''Ocarina of Time''. In the latter, even though the [[Seven Sages]] send him to the [[Evil Realm]], Ganondorf still retains his Triforce of Power, allowing him to reappear later and cause the [[Great Flood]] due to his immense power, which is spoken of in the introduction of ''The Wind Waker''. <ref>{{cite|Someday...

Or death?!|Zant|TP}}</ref> making them wiser than any mortal.<ref name=bearers/> The essence of Nayru grants Zelda, the Triforce of Wisdom's bearer, a myriad of mystical abilities as well as divine wisdom. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', Princess Zelda splits up the Triforce of Wisdom into eight fragments and hides them throughout the land, fearing [[Ganon]]'s rule after he steals the Triforce of Power.<ref>{{cite|PRINCESS ZELDA HAD ONE OF THE TRIFORCE WITH WISDOM.

Her possession of the Triforce of Wisdom also makes her the Seventh Sage, who is destined to be the leader of them all.

[...] With her rich soul, produced all life forms who would uphold the law.|Great Deku Tree|Ocarina of Time}}</ref> The Triforce of Courage is more than a mere symbol of Link's exemplary courage, who is usually its bearer. Though Link is not a skilled sorcerer like Ganondorf or Zelda, the Triforce of Courage, like the other sacred triangles, grants him untold mystical abilities, one of them being some extent of protection against evil magic. In ''Twilight Princess'', the Triforce of Courage, from the very beginning of the game, is already visible in Link's left hand. One of the known effects of the Triforce of Courage in the said game is transforming Link into a [[Wolf Link|wolf]] instead of into a lost soul like every other being from the [[Light World]].<ref name=wolf/> The Triforce of Courage also repels the [[Shadow Beast]] who attempts to attack him when he is first dragged into the Twilight. |

| − | Although the Triforce of Courage was not mentioned in the original ''The Legend of Zelda'', it was later introduced in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''. Here, it is revealed that a previous [[King of Hyrule (The Adventure of Link)|King of Hyrule]], fearing the misuse of the Triforce, sealed the Triforce of Courage away in the [[Great Palace]], where only a hero worthy of its power would be able to obtain it after proving himself.<ref name=Quote3>{{cite manual|quote=You who'll control the Triforce of the future. I shall hand down to you the secrets of the Triforce. There are three kinds of Triforce -- Power, Wisdom, and Courage. [...] Of the three, I have left Power and Wisdom in the kingdom. But the Triforce Courage I have hidden for a reason. Not everybody can use the Triforce. It requires a strong character with no evil thoughts. But an inborn special quality is also necessary. Unfortunately, I have not found such a person during my life. [...] But, what will happen if someone else uses the Triforce before then? If it misused, it will produce many evil. The Triforce of Courage is hidden in the Great Palace in the Valley of Death on the largest island in Hyrule.|game=The Adventure of Link|page=9-10}}</ref> Link endured the trials of the Great Palace, including defeating his [[Dark Link|own shadow]], and recovered the Triforce of Courage. Uniting it with the Triforce of Wisdom and Power, he was able to break the spell cast on the sleeping Princess Zelda.

You, Link!|Sheik|OOT}}</ref> After Ganon is sealed inside the Evil Realm, Link, still the bearer of the Triforce of Courage, embarks on another journey and leaves the land of Hyrule.

In order to hide the Triforce from evil, it has been broken into pieces and scattered throughout [[Hyrule]]. Splitting the Triforce not only protects it from evil hands, it also ensures that whoever manages to assemble all the pieces is worthy of possessing it. The Triforce has been fragmented in two games thus far: the original ''The Legend of Zelda'', and in ''The Wind Waker.'' |

| − | ===''The Adventure of Link''=== |
||
| − | The Triforce of Courage is first introduced in the [[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|second installment]] of the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda series]]. In the prologue of the game, it is mentioned that a historic [[King of Hyrule (The Adventure of Link)|King of Hyrule]] used the Triforce to keep peace in Hyrule; however, he eventually passed away and, fearing someone would misuse the powers of the Triforce, hid the Triforce of Courage in the [[Great Palace]]. Here, it could only be obtained by one who could fight his way through six other palaces to break the magical seal left by the king.<ref name=Quote3/><ref name=palaces>{{cite manual|quote=When you have set crystals in all of the statues in the six palaces, the "binding force" placed on the Valley of Death will be removed and you will be able to enter the great palace.

Link overcame these obstacles to achieve the third Triforce, and used the power of the united relic to wake the slumbering Princess Zelda.<ref name=palaces/> |

| − | ===''A Link to the Past''=== |
||
| − | The Triforce is first revealed as a divine manifestation of the Goddesses' power in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. Bestowed upon Hyrule upon their departure, it lay hidden in the fabled [[Golden Land]], where it beckoned the people of Hyrule to seek it in hopes that someone worthy of its power would find it.<ref name=bearers/> Although many tried to find it, none knew of its exact location, not even the Sages, since that knowledge had been lost with time.<ref>{{cite manual|quote=Many aggressively searched for the wish-granting Triforce, but no one, not even the Hylian sages, was sure of its location; the knowledge had been lost over time.|game=A Link to the Past|page=4}}</ref> Eventually, the search for the Triforce ensued a great war until the evil thief Ganondorf and his minions broke the seal into the hidden land.<ref name=Quote4/><ref name=Quote5/> Upon murdering his companions and claiming the Triforce for his own, Ganon used its power to turn the Golden Land into the [[Dark World]].<ref>{{cite|Ganon's wish was to conquer the world. That wish changed the Golden Land to the Dark World.|Essence of the Triforce|A Link to the Past}}</ref> Raising an army of monsters to assault the land of Hyrule, Ganon was nearly successful in spreading his evil over all the land, but was stopped when the [[Knights of Hyrule]] and the [[Sage|Seven Wise Men]] sealed him in the Dark World.<ref name=Quote8/> Still in possession of the Triforce, Ganon used [[Agahnim]] to crack the seal between worlds by teleporting the seven maidens, who were descended from the Wise Men, one by one into the Dark World, sealing them in crystals and creating a portal between the worlds.<ref>{{cite|Agahnim has seized control of the castle and is now trying to open the seven wise men's seal.|Princess Zelda|A Link to the Past}}</ref><ref>{{cite|He is trying to open a larger gate between worlds near the castle using our powers.|One of the Seven Maidens|A Link to the Past}}</ref> |

| − | |||
| − | After obtaining the [[Master Sword]] and rescuing the seven maidens, [[Link]] defeats Ganon inside the [[Pyramid of Power]] and recovers the complete Triforce. Instructed by the Triforce to take it with a wish in his heart, Link used its power to cleanse the evil that had been done by Ganon; healing those who had been wounded by his evil, restoring the Dark World to the Golden Land, and restoring peace to Hyrule.<ref name=wish>{{cite|The Triforce is waiting for a new owner.

||
| − | [[File:triforce inscription.jpg|frame|left|The Triforce symbol is featured in the Royal Crest of Hyrule.]] |
||
| − | The history of the Triforce is further elaborated upon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. Its nature of splitting into three pieces when someone with an unbalanced heart touches it is revealed to be one of the many [[Sheikah/Sheikah Legends#The Legend of the Sacred Triangle|Sheikah legends]] spoken of in the game. |

| − | [[File:Beta Triforce.png|right|thumb|Screenshot from an early beta version of Ocarina of Time.]] |
||
| − | Out of all current games, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' has been the basis of the most rumors on receiving the Triforce in a ''Zelda'' game to date. Although it is well known that it is not an item that can be received in the game, many stories and rumors from fans claiming they have obtained the Triforce by doctored photos and such have come up. These rumors were mostly due to an engraving of the Triforce on the Quest Status menu, centered between all of the [[Sage Medallions|Medallions]], although it is only there for decoration purposes. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Link obtaining the whole Triforce was originally going to be in the game, as seen in the screenshot to the right, but the idea was scrapped in the early states of development. Although if an [[Action Replay]] is used, it can be "found" in the debug room. By using a Gameshark code to L-Button levitate in Hyrule Castle Garden, Link can actually get underneath the garden's floor, revealing a Triforce symbol located roughly under where Zelda is standing. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===''Majora's Mask''=== |
||
| − | The Triforce does not play any direct role in the storyline of [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|''Ocarina of Time'''s sequel]]. It is, however, depicted throughout the [[Stone Tower Temple]]. Fans who support the idea that the Temple was meant to insult Hyrule's Goddesses cite the irreverent display in their arguments.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.zeldainformer.com/2008/05/the-message-of-majoras-mask.php|title=The Message of Majora's Mask|site=Zeldainformer.com}}</ref> |

||
| − | The Triforce plays an identical role in both ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]''. During the introduction, the Triforce calls to Link from its place in [[Hyrule Castle]], telling him to accept "their quest."<ref>{{cite|Accept our quest, hero!|Triforce|''Oracle'' series}}</ref> It then sends him to [[Holodrum]] (in ''Seasons'') or [[Labrynna]] (in ''Ages''). |

||
| − | The Triforce of Courage, left in Hyrule after the legendary Hero that appeared in'' Ocarina of Time'' left Hyrule (original Japanese suggests the Triforce split when the Hero "journeyed the flows of time" at ''Ocarina of Time'''s end), shattered into eight pieces and hid throughout the kingdom. By the time the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' take place, the land is now under the [[Great Sea]], with the shards of the Triforce of Courage locked in chests beneath the sea.<ref name=Quote11/><ref name=Quote12/> Eight [[Triforce Chart]]s were drawn and hidden to stop anyone without a courageous heart from assembling it. Link, with the help of [[Tingle]], deciphers the Triforce Charts and retrieves the Triforce Shards from the Great Sea. The young hero assembles the full Triforce of Courge and shows it before the Gods at the [[Tower of Gods]], who acknowledge Link's courage and accept him as the Hero of Winds.<ref>{{cite|It would seem the gods have acknowledged you to be a true hero.|King of Red Lions|The Wind Waker}}</ref> |

||
| − | |||
| − | The Triforce is referred to as the Triumph Forks by the [[Fishman|Fishmen]]. By the time ''The Wind Waker'' takes place, the word "Triforce" appears to have been forgotten, possibly due to the [[Great Flood]] and distortions of the old legends of [[Hyrule]]. The "Triforce" legend had been seemingly supplanted by a "Triumph Forks" legend.<ref>{{cite|'Cause this one guy told me that what was actually buried beneath that weird rock was a chart to this shard of something called a Triforce.

The Triforce crest can also be found on various places around Hyrule, such as above the bell in [[Hyrule Castle Town#The Minish Cap|Hyrule Town]], or at [[Hyrule Castle]], and on [[King Gustaf|Gustaf]]'s tombstone in the [[Royal Crypt]]. |

| − | The word "Triforce" is not used at any point during ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. However the Triforce is obviously well-known since markings of it exist on the [[Hylian Shield]] and on various walls. Its power is also spoken of by the ancient Sages of Hyrule who guarded the [[Mirror of Twilight]], and by the [[Light Spirit]] [[Lanayru]] when she tells Link of the interlopers who tried to take over the Sacred Realm and, with it, the Triforce.<ref name=sage/> Unlike in ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''The Wind Waker'', Ganondorf makes no attempt to retrieve the other Triforce parts, despite being in the same position of power as he was in ''Ocarina of Time'', as the "ruler" of Hyrule but lacking omnipotence. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In this episode, the wielders of the three parts of the Triforce (Power, Wisdom, Courage) are obviously Link, Zelda and Ganondorf, the same as ''Ocarina of Time''. Each of the Triforce bearers can be seen using their piece of the Triforce at various points in the game. Also, the wielders of the Triforce are said to be "blessed by the goddesses."<ref>{{cite|Link... Hero sent by the goddesses...

| − | The Triforce symbol can be seen on Link's hand from the beginning of the game, signifying he holds the Triforce of Courage.

It appears on Princess Zelda's dress, on the [[Ancient Gold Piece]] and in the [[Shield of Antiquity]], which is the shield that belonged to the [[Link#The Wind Waker|Hero of Winds]]. It should be noted that while the Triforce, which is considered to be the famous emblem of Hyrule and its [[Hyrule Royal Family]], is nowhere to be seen, the[[Spirits of Good#Symbol of the Spirits| symbol of the Spirits]] appears throughout many places of the "[[new Hyrule]]." |

Revision as of 23:14, 10 November 2010
Template:Song
The "Song of Soaring" is a warping song featured in Majora's Mask. It allows Link to warp to all the different Owl Statues throughout the land of Termina. However, the song only works after Link has activated the statues by hitting them with his sword.[1] It is learned in the Southern Swamp from a stone monument with the song notes carved in it.
Other than warping Link to the Owl Statues, it can also take the young hero to the entrance of the dungeon he's currently in by playing this melody.
The following are the locations that Link can warp to using the "Song of Soaring":
- Clock Town (specifically, South Clock Town)
- Milk Road
- Southern Swamp
- Woodfall
- Mountain Village
- Snowhead
- Great Bay Coast
- Zora Cape
- Ikana Canyon
- Stone Tower
