The, also known as the Crest of Courage, is a recurring Series: in.

The Mark of the Triforce appears on Link's hand on his sixteenth birthday, identifying him as the one who must place six NaN Crystals in the NaN Palaces around Hyrule, dispelling the barrier placed on the Great Palace by the soon-to-die King of Hyrule to protect the Triforce of Courage from those who would misuse its powers.

When Link shows it to TAoL:, she presses his hand against a door in North Castle that has never been opened in many years, revealing the slumbering TAoL:. Impa then explains the Tragedy of Zelda I to Link, while giving him the crystals and a scroll that reveals to the hero his new objective.

In, OoS: possesses the Mark of the Triforce on his hand, but it is unknown if he had it prior to his first summons by the Triforce at the beginning of the game played first, or if he was branded with it by the relic when sent on his journey.

Din notices Link's mark and comments that the bearer is destined to meet a special fate. After which, she nearly tells Link something, but thinks better of it and leads him in another dance before Onox interrupts and attacks.
