{{Main|Triforce}}
[[File:Triforce (Ocarina of Time).png|right|150px]]The Triforce is remnants of the Golden Goddesses' power after departing from the newly created Hyrule. It is a physical object made up of three golden triangles. These triangles can be split apart, but when properly arranged the [[Triforce of Power]] representing [[Din]] appears on top, with the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] representing [[Nayru]] on the lower-left and the [[Triforce of Courage]] representing [[Farore]] on the lower-right. The Triforce itself is usually hidden away, but depictions of it can be found scattered across Hyrule.
 
As the iconic symbol of the series, the Triforce appears prominently throughout most of the games. As the object it represents lies in the [[Sacred Realm]] which is accessed through [[Hyrule]], and it is usually held or protected by the [[Hylian]]s, it is generally associated with and seen in Hyrule. It is viewed by Hylians as a symbol of power and stability. During the [[Golden Era]], it gained exceptional reverence as it was used responsibly by [[Hyrulian]] monarchs to create a prosperous age.
 
====Crests of the Goddesses====
{{Float|right|[[File:Crest of Din.png]][[File:Crest of Nayru.png]][[File:Crest of Farore.png]]}}While the three pieces of the Triforce look identical, there are also three distinct symbols representing each of the goddesses. These symbols appear only on sacred objects or in sacred places which are heavily associated with a specific goddess. For example, the Crest of Din appears on the door guarding [[Din's Flame]] and on [[Din's Pearl]]; the Crest of Nayru appears on the deck of the [[Sandship]] by [[Nayru's Flame]] and on [[Nayru's Pearl]]; and the Crest of Farore appears on the door to [[Farore's Flame]] and on [[Farore's Pearl]].
