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."'' | As ''The Legend of Zelda'' series has expanded, so have the questions of how, where, and why the Triforce was created.

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. | New details on the Triforce's creation were not revealed until 13 years after the release of ''Ocarina of Time''.

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 [[Princess Zelda|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."'' | 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 [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]].

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. | ||
In summary, the question of how the Triforce was created was answered by Zelda in ''Skyward Sword''. According to her, the old gods created it and called it the Triforce.<ref name="Quote 1"/> The question of where the Triforce was created has been hinted at, but never told for sure. It is likely the Triforce was made in the Sacred Realm, as according to the Great Deku Tree that is where it rests.<ref name="Quote 3"/> Lastly, the question of why the Triforce was created has yet to be answered. The best players have got in terms of an answer is what Zelda says near the end of ''Skyward Sword''. She states that it is impossible to know why the old gods created the Triforce,<ref name="Quote 2"/> but continues to tell her theory, which involves the old gods using the Triforce to give hope to all the mortals of the land.<ref name="Quote 2"/> This is a hard blow for fans to take, as it likely means the real reason behind the creation of the Triforce will never be told. | In summary, the question of how the Triforce was created was answered by Zelda in ''Skyward Sword''.
