Daily Debate: What Does the Triforce Taste Like? 

The elusive Triforce is often at the center of the struggle between light and dark. But when that shimmering golden power is floating so close you can almost taste it, do you ever wonder precisely what it would be like to give it a good lick? Well, I do. And frankly, the ultimate power might just be the ultimate candy. Pop this sucker on a stick and you’ve got yourself the greatest lollipop in existence.

In my mind, it tastes the way I imagine edible lightning might: like an incredibly tangy citrus fruit. Each flick of the tongue would be accompanied by a sensation akin to licking a battery, followed by a sweet aftertaste. For the coveted relic to be both sweet and sour even makes thematic sense, given that its power can be used for good and evil. I feel it would be room temperature, as well, rather than distinctly hot or cold; especially since balance is another of its key characteristics.

This is wishful thinking, of course. In all likelihood, licking the Triforce is probably analogous to licking a gold bar. But given that the Triforce is magical, perhaps the Goddesses planned for a possible tongue-on-triangle incident, maybe even giving each piece its own flavor. The Triforce of Wisdom might taste like a granola bar, Courage like Gatorade, and Power like a protein shake! I am reminded of Willy Wonka’s lickable wallpaper— I mean, who’s to say the Triforce doesn’t taste like snozzberries?

Before this goes completely off the rails, what do you think the Triforce would taste like if you took a quick lick? Let us know in the comments!
