Biography[]
The legend of the Tri Force Heroes has been passed down through generations in the kingdom of Hytopia,[1] and tells of three heroes from parts unknown who band together to defend the kingdom from peril. These heroes are said to triumph over hardships with their Totem maneuvers and ability to communicate without words, owing to their unbreakable bond,[3] and are recognized for possessing the Three Noble Attributes of Courage:

The citizens of Hytopia believe in the legend and have placed the Tri Force Hero Statue at the center of town, in honor of Tri Force Heroes past and future.
When Princess Styla is cursed by the Drablands Witch and all of Hytopia's stylishness is threatened, King Tuft issues a call for heroes to save the kingdom from its despair.[7] Link, while passing through Hytopia on his travels, is informed of the situation by Madame Couture's Apprentice, who believes Link may be one of the fated heroes. Sir Combsly is immediately impressed by Link's heroic traits and enlists the young hero into the Witch-Hunting Brigade,[8] though he cannot remember the full reason for recognizing these traits.[9] Alongside other heroes brought forth by the Match Master, or through the use of Doppels to divide his soul among three vessels, Link ventures into the Drablands to fulfill the roles of the Tri Force Heroes.
According to King Tuft, the legend of the Tri Force Heroes also dictates that the heroes will bring everlasting peace and style to Hytopia by overcoming all challenges in front of them.[10] Believing Link to be hero of legend, the king implores him to fulfill his destiny by besting the Drablands Challenges.[11]
