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>{{Cite|OoT|891|[[Great Deku Tree]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|OoT|892|Great Deku Tree}}</ref> This answered the first questions many players had, which was how the Triforce was created.

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.

New details on the Triforce's creation were not revealed until 13 years after the release of ''Ocarina of Time''. The Triforce is mentioned multiple times in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', and players are given new details on why it exists. Firstly, the Triforce is first mentioned in the cutscene that plays the first time the player puts the disc in. It tells players that the Triforce is a power without equal, and because of this the old gods gave it to [[Hylia]] to protect. This is more of a backstory on the Triforce, but still it details what the Triforce is capable of.

The Triforce makes a non-canonical appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest|Battle Quest]]'', one of the 12 attractions that make up ''Nintendo Land'', a release title for the [[Nintendo Wii U|Wii U]]. The Triforce is obtained at the end of every level, and can be reacquired as many times as the player succeeds in reaching and defeating the [[Boss]] of the level without losing all of their hearts. This is obviously not part of the Zelda canon, as players learned in ''Skyward Sword'' that only a select few - those with an unbreakable spirit - can wield its might.<ref>{{Cite|SS|6864|Zelda}}</ref> This "select few" obviously does not include Mii characters.

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.
