In, in an attempt to keep Ganon from obtaining the remaining Triforce of Wisdom, Princess Zelda divided it into eight fragments and scattered them throughout the land. She then sent Impa to find a man courageous enough to defeat the evil monster ; however, Impa is eventually attacked and cornered by Ganon's minions. Just as there seemed no hope, the young adventurer known as Link saves her from peril. Impa saw the potential in this boy, and decided he would be the hero to end her search. She presented him with a mission: to find the eight shards of the Triforce of Wisdom and rescue Zelda. Link set out to end Ganon's reign of evil and recover both the Triforce of Wisdom and Power.

In the flooded land of Hyrule in, Link must recover the eight shards of the Triforce of Courage that hid throughout Hyrule after the departure of the Hero of Time. With help from Tingle's cartography skills, he sets out to find the Triforce Charts that would show him the location of each of the fragments (or only three of them in, where the rest of them can be found directly). It is only after Link assembles the Triforce of Courage that he sets off to fight off Ganondorf and save both the Great Sea and Hyrule.
