'''Force Gems''' are items in many [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Zelda]] games. They have many uses as outlined below.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', Force Gems are found throughout [[Hyrule]], and must be collected by the player in order to create enough power in the [[Four Sword]] to break [[Vaati]]'s seals, which are found at the end of each sub-level. At some points in the game, if there are force gems lying around, Tingle might fly around to try and pick them up. If they are big enough, then he can't get them and whine off the screen.

While exploring the [[Temple of the Ocean King]], Link comes across locked doors that can only be unlocked once three Force Gems are placed in their pedestal. While gathering and placing the Force Gems, Link must evade the [[Phantom]]s that patrol the hallways of the temple. [[Oshus]] also mentions that Force Gems are what gives the [[Phantom Hourglass]] its mysterious powers. Finally, Force Gems are also utilized in Phantom Hourglass's Multiplayer Battle Mode, in which players must gather Force Gems to earn points. This can be achieved by either finding the gems yourself, or attacking them out of other players and thus stealing them.

Force Gems are the rewards that [[Link]] acquires in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'' after completing various side quests. They usually involve Link hauling over ice, lumber, or even [[Cucco]]s or taking people places from one location to another in order to improve the lives of the citizens and others of [[New Hyrule]]. Link can gain a total of 20 Force Gems in the game, with two of them being mandatory to finish the game. When Link acquires a Force Gem, his Rail Map will starts to glow, causing new [[Spirit Tracks]] to form and often times leading Link to acquiring secret items, [[Heart Container]]s, discovering more [[Rabbit (Spirit Tracks)|Rabbit]]s, secret stations, or other secrets. Force Gems are also encountered in the game's Multiplayer mode where the players must compete to collect as many Force Gems before the time runs out and avoid [[Phantom]]s that will cause [[Link]] to lose them, should he be hit.
