Force Gem

are recurring triangular-pyramid-shaped jewels in. Their roles vary from restoring power to the Four Sword in, to restoring ST: and portions of the Tower of Spirits in. They are physical manifestations of the Force, the sacred power that dwells in every living being.

Force Gems first appeared in. The Links need to collect 2000 of them to empower the Four Sword, which has lost its power because of Vaati's magic. Once empowered, it can break Vaati's Dark Barrier at the end of each level. Like Rupees in most games in the series, their size and color determine their value. Often, levels will have an area that gives an opportunity to get many Force Gems at once; usually, this involves defeating many enemies without being hit. Doing this awards combo points, which will give more Force Gems from defeating the enemies. In some cases, the Force Gems are used as currency. Sometimes, if big Force Gems are lying around, Tingle will appear and attempt to take them before Link can reach them; Link can throw things at him to deter him.

Force Gems appear throughout each level, found on enemies, under rocks, frozen in ice, and more. Below is a list of the values for each variety of Force Gem:

Rare Force Gems

 * Color alternating Force Gem: Its value depends on which color it is when obtained.
 * Force Soldier: A large green Force Gem with a sword and legs. If Link destroys it, it will become a big green Force Gem. However, if Link does not defeat it in time and it self destructs, its value will be reduced to one Force Gem.

Force Gem Thieves

 * Hinoxes will shake great amounts of Force Gems from Link while he is in their grasp.
 * Wizzrobes can continuously suck Force Gems from Link while dodging him at great ease and speed.
 * Force Likes will suck Force Gems from Link.
 * When Link takes significant damage, Force Gems will fall from him.

In, NaN Force Gems are gold-colored objects found in the PH:. Three of them must be placed on pedestals inside a PH: in order to create a PH: symbol that unlocks a door to the next floor. Just like with a PH:, carrying a PH: slows PH: down and prevents him from attacking or defending himself.

NaN Force Gems are used on floor B3, where each one is found inside a PH:, and on floor B12, where one PH: is carried by a PH: that patrols the room, while the other two are found in NaN Treasure Chests that cause new NaN Phantoms to appear when opened. Additionally on the latter floor, placing a PH: on its pedestal causes a PH: to spawn.

On floors B7 and B8, the Square, Round, and Triangle NaN Crystals play the same role as the NaN Force Gems, though they must all be carried to a PH: on Floor B9. At one point in the game, PH: explains that the NaN Sand of Hourss are made of NaN Force Gems.

PH:
The goal of PH: is for each of the NaN Linkss to collect as many of the NaN Force Gems spread around the field as possible. Small NaN Force Gems are worth one point, regular-sized NaN Force Gems are worth five points, and large NaN Force Gems are worth 15 points; the larger a PH:, the heavier it is to carry. The colors of the NaN Force Gems are also changed during gameplay; carrying one into a red or blue PH: will change its color respectively and add its value to that PH:'s score. Neutral NaN Safe Zones will turn red or blue NaN Force Gems back to gold and subtract their values from the scores.

NaN Force Gems are integral to the plot of. They appear above a Goddess Crest-like arch as the symbol of the NaN Spirit of Goods, which is seen in numerous places throughout New Hyrule; notably, on the Engine of the ST:, on the NaN Lokomos' vehicles, on the completed ST:, and atop the ST:. The ST: is studded with an ornamental ST:, and the ST: has one in its pommel. One of each pair of NaN Spacetime Gates is adorned with a ST: that changes from green to gold when shot with the ST:, thereby activating that pair.

When each of the NaN Bosss of the Forest, Snow, Ocean, and Fire Temples are defeated, in their wake appears a large ST:, colored green, white, blue, and red respectively. A mechanical pedestal rises then out of the ground and the ST: lowers onto it, creating a seal that re-energizes the NaN Spirit Tracks (Object)s leading back to the ST: and restores a portion of the broken tower, strengthening the bond that imprisons the Demon King, ST:.

As NaN Items, gold-colored NaN Force Gems appear when ST: helps certain characters. The energy in a person's heart is said to be similar to that which powers the NaN Spirit Tracks (Object)s, and when that person is very happy or grateful, their energy rises and produces a ST:, which restores yet more of the NaN Spirit Tracks (Object)s. These new sections of tracks create shortcuts that ease travel aboard the ST:, and grant access to new NaN Stations, NaN Rabbits, and NaN Spacetime Gates.

There are 21 NaN Force Gems for ST: to collect by transporting NaN Passengers or ST: from one location to another; all but three are optional. The first Force Gem is given by ST: after ST: drives him from ST: to the ST:, defending him from an onslaught of NaN Pirates along the way. ST: must also be collected by driving ST: of the NaN Anoukis to the ST:, as this allows him to make the ST: that ST: requires during his adventure. After the ST: is completed, ST: gives ST: and ST: a special unnumbered ST:, which reveals the NaN Spirit Tracks (Object)s of the ST:, as thanks for all he has done for the kingdom.

ST:
ST: has players (as the NaN Linkss) collecting as many NaN Force Gems as they can within a time limit.
