Triforce in Twilight Princess
If I remember correctly, the triforce is mentioned in TP, in the sequence where Ganondorf is about to be executed by the Sages. I believe it was the Triforce of Power which allowed him to break free of the chains.
 * Every time the Triforce is referenced in TP (usually in comments ccompanied by visuals of the hand mark) it is called the `Power of the Gods`. In the specific scene you mention, the exact line is;
 * By some divine prank, he, too, had been blessed with the chosen power of the gods. His abiding hatred and lust for power turned to purest malice...

The 'True Force'
Not sure if this section is worth keeping. It is inaccurate (The Triforce has indeed been possesed in full; by the AoL BS King) and Its not something I've ever seen discussed or even mentioned outside of this page (probably because most people know its inaccurate). Any objections to removing it and simply beefing up the "Triforce in AoL" section? --PIE


 * Sounds good to me. The closer the article sticks to accurate factual info the better! --Adam 14:25, 30 August 2007 (EDT)

Categorization
If no one objects, I'm going to add this to either the Objects or Items category, seeing as it is indeed a physical object. Dinosaur bob 18:40, 6 October 2007 (EDT)

Source
I had never heard this before, so I was wondering if I could get a source for this sentence in the second paragraph of the article:


 * "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."

This would be much appreciated. Thanks. Ando 16:36, 16 January 2008 (EST)


 * I've added the only reference I could find for that statement, which claims that the text comes from the Book of Mudora. It seems Sheik repeats these words in OoT: Sheik. —Adam (talk) 02:54, 13 February 2008 (EST)

Huh. Interesting. Thank you much, Adam. This is useful information indeed. --Ando 12:21, 13 February 2008 (EST)

doesnt seem right
so...seeing as TP follows the childhood timeline...link stopped ganon before link himself opened up the temple of time...and thats what caused ganon to receive the triforce of power...link opening the temple...but since he never did open it in childhood timeline..then ganon never had it ..thats why they called it a divine prank..if he had it then he would never have been captured in the first place..someone wanna change that section where it says the sages thought it was a prank...cuz who ever wrote that makes it sound like ganon had the triforce of power all along.


 * I don't think I really follow what you're saying, but I know this was included within this discussion —Adam (talk) 10:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Midna, Zelda, and the Triforce
What we really need for this is the original Japanese text of what Zelda says when she helps Midna. I have read it before. I don't remember exactly where I found it or what it meant. But I do remember that it strongly indicated that Zelda did not give Midna the Triforce of Wisdom itself. We'll have to find the text again. 17:36, July 16, 2008 (UTC)


 * Here is Jumbie's translation at Legends Alliance (first line: Japanese, second: Jumbie's translation, third NoA's translation). 21:48, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

ZZ is not sure he is doing this right, but oh well. Even with the Japanese version it is really vague, but since Minda did say everything, then he guess the ToW is included. The only thing that doesn't really make sense is Zelda Dis/re-appearing in the game, and that when the power returns to Zelda, Midna still retains her immunity to the Light World. Do you have a explanation or would that go into the theorizing section?

The Anti-Triforce Theory
I've read this in multiple places and am considering more and more the possibility that the hole in the triforce could actually be some kind of anti-force. To push the theory deeper, I've read that Dark Link might be the holder of it. It is mere speculation, but I taught it might be interesting to start a conversation around this.

This page is a mess ...
Anyone else agree? I think what we should do is split parts of the page to their own pages. I think that either the Triumph Forks or the Triforce Shards would both make decent pages, also allowing this page to not be as bulky. Any comments? 23:00, 11 December 2010 (EST)
 * I think I'll disagree... The Triforce Shards used to be its own page, and I don't really see why we should split it into its own again. Same thing with the Triumph Forks: used to be its own article but got merged here. Dany36 23:04, 11 December 2010 (EST)
 * Pretty much what Dany said. I don't think it should be split, actually, I don't think the article is that much of a mess. It's not too bad. Maybe could use a reorganization and or some of the individual sections split into subsections. 04:07, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I can agree there, but I'll leave that up to you guys. I'll just stick to references ;) 23:11, 11 December 2010 (EST)
 * Both sides have good arguments. If anything, I could see the Appearances section made into a subpage (akin to the way the Hyrule page does things); that could potentially solve any bulky problem and still keep all of the information connected. 23:19, 11 December 2010 (EST)

Triforce Positioning
The page says that the Triforce of Courage is on the bottom-right, and the Triforce of Wisdom is on the bottom-left. Is there any proof of that? As far as I know, it is inconclusive, since Nintendo never provided any canon proof for either side. The way I see it, the Triforce of Courage should be on the left, with Wisdom being on the right, with Link being left handed in every game. That should be some symbolism. And yeah, anything from the Super Smash Bros. series is not canon (looking at Melee's intro). ShadowMario3 11:42, 2 Feb 2011 (EST)
 * Sure there is! Recall: When Link confronts Ganondorf at the end of Ocarina of Time and the "Triforce parts are resonating," each character's piece of the Triforce glows on their hand (Link's left hand, Zelda's right hand, Ganondorf's right hand). Note that one triangle of the Triforce is lit for each character: For Link the bottom right, and for Zelda the bottom left, and for Ganondorf the top. You can watch the cutscene on youtube (I found it Here). =) 11:57, 2 February 2011 (EST)
 * Oh wow, never knew that. O_o Thanks for telling me about that. :D ShadowMario3 18:30, 2 Feb 2011 (EST)

Ganon's immortality
I don't think that Ganon's large lifespan can be attributed to the Triforce of Power. For example we know that he doesn't have it in the end of ALttP and yet he is back in the Oracles (assuming that they follow ALttP of course). His followers are also able to resurrect him in AoL. So I'm removing it from the ToP section. Zeldafan1982 12:21, 30 June 2011 (EDT)

Sierpinski's triangle or Hōjō clan crest?
Could the Triforce be based off of a Sierpinski's triangle or the Hōjō clan's crest? Vahi 16:42, 4 October 2011 (EDT)
