| − | In ''[[The Crystal Trap]]'', [[Ganon]] traps both the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] and the [[Triforce of Courage]] inside a crystal by using a spell written in a [[Magic Scroll]]. However, since the Triforce of Courage rests within Link's heart, the young hero was encased as well, forcing Princess Zelda to go on a quest to find the three items necessary to free Link within just 24 hours before he is trapped in the crystal forever.<ref name=courage>{{Cite book| quote='I already have the Triforce of Power, but I need all three parts of the Triforce to complete my hold on Hyrule. Since I cannot get the Triforces of Courage and Wisdom from you, then you shall not be able to use them, either,' he says. 'With this magic scroll, I have cast a spell to encase them in unbreakable crystal. Of course, since the Triforce of Courage is in Link's heart, I'm afraid the poor boy will have to be shut up in the crystal also. Sorry about that.'|book=The Crystal Trap| publisher=Archway| page= 65}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book| quote='Not likely,' says Ganon. 'There's only one way to break the crystal, and I don't think you'll ever figure it out, or find the three things you need.

| − | Eventually, Princess Zelda finds the [[Magic Honey]], the [[Handprint]], and the [[Magnifying Glass]] and uses them to shatter the Crystal, thus freeing Link and allowing them to search for the [[Spear]], the sacred weapon that can defeat Ganon. |
