Triforce

From Hyrule

"The complete Triforce grants whoever touches it one wish, although it may come in unexpected ways." -Kasei

The Triforce is, in most respects, the ultimate power in Hyrule. It is represented by three golden triangles. It is a strange object, left behind by the gods...

[edit] Overview

The Triforce does not distinguish between those who are good or evil; it will grant the wishes of whoever touches it, giving them virtual omnipotence. If a person with a righteous heart claims the Triforce, the world will enter into a golden age of peace and prosperity. But if a person with an evil heart retrieves the Golden Power, the world will fall into an age of darkness. If one who claims the Triforce doesn't have a balance of Courage, Wisdom and Power within their heart, the Triforce will separate into its three parts, and the one who claims it will be left with only the Triforce aspect that they most believed in.

As stated, the Triforce grants the wielder one wish when united. This could spell disaster should a dark being obtain it.

The location of only one Triforce is known at the moment, the Triforce of Wisdom, held by Princess Zelda. The Triforce of Courage is believed to be with Link, and the Triforce of Power is lost.

[edit] Fakes

False Triforces have been made throughout history. They are simply magical triangles. None come close to the power of the real one, however.
