Origin of The Triforce

DIN: The goddess of power created the land.

Bestows the title of 'The Forger of Strength' upon the user. It is red in colour, was owned by the wizard Ganon, until Link defeated him. If not used in conjunction with the Triforce of Power, it will corrupt the user, and they will become power hungry. This happened to the wizard Ganon, who was already evil, but yearned to take over Hyrule because of its influence.

NAYRU: The goddess of wisdom created order.

Nayru is the goddess who "poured her wisdom onto the earth and gave the spirit of law to the world." She is revered for creating the laws and physics of the universe that keep it in order. As the goddess of wisdom, she is associated with the Triforce of Wisdom

FARORE The goddess of courage created life

Farore, "with her rich soul, created all the living inhabitants in the world to uphold the law." She is the goddess of all life. Farore is associated with the Triforce of Courage.

The Triforce of Power

Bestows the title of 'The Forger of Strength' upon the user. It is red in colour, was owned by the wizard Ganon, until Link defeated him. If not used in conjunction with the Triforce of Power, it will corrupt the user, and they will become power hungry. This happened to the wizard Ganon, who was already evil, but yearned to take over Hyrule because of its influence.

The Triforce of Wisdom

Bestows the title of 'The Keeper of Knowledge' upon the user. It is blue in colour, and owned by Princess Zelda. While it gives great magical wisdom to the user, its magic can also be used as a weapon. It helps to prevent corruption in a person, if it is used alongside the Triforce of Power.

The Triforce of Courage

Bestows the title of 'The Juror of Courage' upon the user. It is yellow in colour, and was hidden in a great dungeon, until Link retrieved it. It is now owned by Princess Zelda. Its powers were used to revive a princess who had been put under a sleeping spell many centuries before.

​Creation Myth

Long ago, in a formless void, the Golden Goddesses descended to Hyrule: fiery Din shaped the land with her power; watery Nayru established laws and life; windy Farore birthed forests and creatures. They forged the Triforce—a golden triangle split into three parts representing Power (Din), Wisdom (Nayru), and Courage (Farore)—and left it in the Sacred Realm, entrusting it to Goddess Hylia for protection from evil like Demise.

Triforce Role

This sacred relic holds limitless power to grant wishes but splits if touched by an impure heart, testing worthiness in Hyrule's heroes. Hylia later reincarnated as Zelda to wield it against threats.
