Triforce: Difference between revisions

As ''The Legend of Zelda'' series has expanded, so have the questions of how, where, and why the Triforce was created. The first information players got to answering these questions came from the [[Great Deku Tree]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. After [[Link]] kills [[Queen Gohma]], he will be warped back to the [[Great Deku Tree's Meadow]], where the Great Deku Tree will tell the story of how the land of [[Hyrule]] was created. He gave players the first few pieces of information that would soon guide players to answering the aforementioned questions when he said, ''"The three great goddesses, their labors completed, departed for the heavens. And golden sacred triangles remained at the point where the goddesses left the world."''{{Ref|OoT|891|[[Great Deku Tree]]}}{{Ref|OoT|892|Great Deku Tree}} This answered the first questions many players had, which was how the Triforce was created. According to him, the Triforce was created when the goddesses left the earth, at the exact spot they left the world for the heavens. However, he does not say for certain if the goddesses intentionally created it, or it was a strange item that was formed when they departed. He also briefly touches on where they were created, when he says, ''"And, the resting place of the triangles has become the Sacred Realm."''{{Ref|name=Quote 3|OoT|894|Great Deku Tree}} This hints that the Triforce was created in the [[Sacred Realm]], but does not 100% confirm it.

After Link has completed the [[Fire Sanctuary (Skyward Sword)|Fire Sanctuary]] and travelled through the [[Gate of Time]] into the distant past, he will have the chance to talk with [[Zelda]]. She will explain everything that has happened throughout the game. Also, she provides players with the answers to all of the unanswered questions about the Triforce. She starts by saying, ''"The old gods created a supreme power that gave anyone who possessed it the ability to shape reality and fulfill any desire. They called it the Triforce."''{{Ref|name=Quote 1|SS|6846|[[Zelda]]}} This quote tells players what the Great Deku Tree didn't; the Triforce was created by the goddesses. It wasn't left behind or created when they departed, it was created by them. Later on in her speech she says, ''"It's impossible to know the true reason why the old gods created the Triforce."''{{Ref|name=Quote 2|SS|6865|Zelda}} With this quote, players understood that it is very likely that the true reason behind why the Triforce was created will never be told. However, Zelda will later explain her own personal theory as to why the old gods created it. She states they, the gods, created it in a way so it could never be used by their own kind.{{Ref|name=Quote 2}} She believes doing this was their way of giving hope to the mortals of the land.{{Ref|name=Quote 2}} This line is the closest players have gotten to figuring out why the Triforce was created, and may be the closest they will ever come.

Also, it's worth noting that in Nintendo Land's description of Ganon, it states that he is a wielder of the Triforce, obviously hinting at the sequences of ''Ocarina of Time'', when Ganondorf broke into the Sacred Realm and took the Triforce of Power.
