Triforce

 * ''Main article: Triforce

The Triforce is the symbol of the Golden Goddesses' power and by far the most prominent symbol in The Legend of Zelda series. It has served as a major plot device in many of the games. It first appears in The Legend of Zelda, but at the time, there was only the Triforce of Power and the Triforce of Wisdom. In Adventure of Link, a third piece of the Triforce, the Triforce of Courage, is introduced. After the game is beaten, all three pieces are shown in their now familiar arrangement. In the prologue to Adventure of Link, the symbol of the Triforce appears on the back of Link's left hand. This becomes a regular occurrence in later Zelda titles. Depictions of the Triforce appear in many places throughout the series, such as above the Door of Time, on the Pedestal of Time and the Hylian emblem, and in the center of the Mirror of Twilight.


 * Triforce of Power - The Triforce on top of the arrangement, representative of Din.
 * Triforce of Wisdom - The Triforce on the left side of the arrangement, representative of Nayru.
 * Triforce of Courage - The Triforce on the right side of the arrangement, representative of Farore.
