Morphed Triforce

[Zenox]

In the Ocarina of Time, Link destroys Ganon and banishes him to the Sacred Realm. He then travels to Termina, and gets transformed into a Deku, but before reaching Termina, we see a glimpse of the Triforce, but something's wrong. The Triforce of Power is under the other two. Could this be because the owner is no longer in this realm? I believe so, it could just be the Terminan's version of the Triforce, but they don't seem to believe/know about the Triforce.

Do you think the reason the Triforce has been morphed is because Ganon was banished? What do you think?

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to say here.

But we do know this:
- You can still see ganondorf holding the trifore of power in the sacred realm and in the sequels.
- The Triforce of courage did seprate in 8 shards after link left hyrule for some reason.

Anyway you got me curious what you are trying to say here, can you explain it in more detail?

[Zenox]

I wish I had a picture, but in the introduction to Majora's mask, we see a version of the triforce, but the Triforce of Power is out of it's place, and I'm wondering if this is Termina's version of the Triforce, or this was caused because of Ganon being banished to the sacred realm.

Here's a picture. (http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o205/voxizertome/snap0001.jpg?t=1239670350)

Interesting....you might be on to something here. But if it wasl ike that becuase of Ganondorf not bieng in the ame realm as the other peices, why did the triforce of ocurage not move when link was in termina? Becuase if it shifted becuase ganon was in the sacred realm, surely link going ot termina could od it?

[Skull_Kid]

I did notice that on my first run, but my opinion is that it is the Terminian counterpart of the Triforce, cause in that point, Link is no longer in Hyrule.
Also, if I am not wrong, at the end of the game you see the trifore floating in Termina.
Still, it doesn't explain why is that depiction of the Triforce wrong.

[Bluelink6]

Although it's not necassarily wrong. More likely, in my opininon, different.
Ater all, we've seen how terminians are different to hyrulians in so many ways.....why not their triforce being different? Thinking about that, for me, raises an interesting question.....If there are people ofr hyrule with triforce peices...are there terminian's with peices of their triforce? ( if it exists that is)

[linkfan822]

that might be interesting... however, that would destroy the purpose of having Link go to Termina in the first place... Perhaps the Triforce is showing that something is slightly... out of place.

[angelkid]

i agree with linkfan882. althoug it could be an alternate triforce.
i think there should be an alternate triforce. but perhaps not a triforce. like a quadraforce or something. to show that maybe link has gone from the third world to the fourth.

probably a stupid idea.

[rocker_3]

has anyone just considered that nintendo screwed that up accidently?

[Caleb, Of Asui]

I was thinking Zenox was saying it was upside-down, which would be a good way to symbolize Termina's relation to Hyrule.

I've seen the triangles in the picture before many times, but never have I thought it was the Triforce. That's interesting...

I like linkfan822's idea that it's supposed to represent something being out of place.

But, why have Power out of place and not one of the other two? We do see Link (of course) and Zelda in the game, but no Ganondorf. The triforce at this part could represent the fact that Link and Zelda are involved in the story, but Ganondorf is involved and instead there is a different, rather uncertain antagonist.

[MrMosley]

I don't believe the triangles in that picture/scene really have anything to do with the Triforce. They resemble it, but thats the only time in the entire game of MM that this design is shown. It is much more likely that the triangles are just the light that is shining down into the cavern.

Also, if it were some sort of hint towards any relation to the Triforce and how Termina is backwards to Hyrule, then it would not have any certain kind of shape or design based on Ganon, Link, or Zelda, since all three of those weilders of the actual Triforce are from Hyrule.

And one last thing to clear up... It was not the Sacred Realm that Ganondorf was banished to at the end of OoT.. Zelda referred to it as the Evil Realm.

[cyko49]

My thoughts exactly. The 'misplacement' of the Triforce of Power could symbolize how everything is slightly…skewed in Termina.

This also provides a certain validity to the theory that the Triforce of Power is the one out of place because the force attempting to increase its power in MM (like Sauron in LotR) is not a tangible being that the player can identify as the "bad guy" for most of the story. For most of the story it is believed that the true antagonist is Skull Kid and that the actual mask is nothing more than his tool to acquire power in order to carry out his revenge. It is only at the climax (some might even call it an anti-climax) that Majora's intentions are revealed. Thus the mystery of the seemingly misplaced Triforce of Power may simply be a hint to the player that the enemy is not the predictable "evil dude" like Ganondorf but instead a twisted or skewed version that doesn't follow the same rules that the previous villains of the series have.

I beg to differ ive seen it many times in MM like it was on links shield and i remember seeing it a few times around termina

if you were paying attention to the end of OoT and the beginning on MM you would know that link was trying to find navi and got attacked by skull kid.:dry:

[Durion]

Has anyone even given it the thought that the triangles may not even be anything to do with Triforce, I don't remember it saying anything about it, If it doesn't then I highly doubt it meant to be either, Just something that is there.

I don't believe it has anything to do with Hyrule or the Triforce as Termina is meant to be opposite or backwards to Hyrule I think, So they wouldn't even have a Triforce which is likely.

[Zeruda]

It's more than likely just the way the Triforce is depicted in Termina. Remember, Termina is a parallel world, not a realm, and that means that it's very likely that it'd have its own realms and Triforce.

At the same time, it could have something to do with the Goddess of Time. She's the only one ever mentioned in MM, so perhaps she is the main power of that world while they other two are lesser for whatever reason. Who knows.

Perhaps the Triforce is shaped the same in both worlds, and maybe that image is displayed as some sort of symbol to the coming of a hero. Destiny does play a major part in Zelda anyway, so maybe that image is just to symbolize Link's disconnection from Hyrule. The piece is out of place, just as Link is out of place.

Who knows. Call up Nintendo and ask- maybe you'll get an answer. ;)

[zzRICHzz]

i never saw it the way everyone is talking about... to me it was just inverted rather than misplaced. it always looked more to me like each triangle is upside-down opposed to the TF of Power being on the bottom. i think it was just a message to the gamer to show that Link is now in a different world, an inverted world.

[fiercedeity619]

i really don't think it has to do with anything about ganondorf or termina because in OoT when you're talking to zelda and she tells you about the triforce you could see it shifting around and making that same shape as the one in MM.

[DaltonR6]

Where is the triforce in the beginning? are you talking about the lights where Skull kid is floating?

[Cucco Power]

i think that why the triforce of power is out of place is because majoras mask has the terminian counter part triforce of power. i dont know why but that could be it

^^ This.

Neither do I. In the real triforce, all three triangles are of the same size. In the pic on page 1, the "out of place" triangle is clearly smaller. I'm going with coincidence.
