Royal Crest

The, also known as the Wingcrest, is a common depiction of the Triforce above a Loftwing. Succeeding a much older crest used in the same land during ancient times by the Goddess Hylia, it serves as the official crest of the Royal Family of Hyrule and can be found in many places throughout the kingdom of Hyrule. It appears in places such as the various incarnations of Hyrule Castle, the Temple of Time and the TPHD:. It can also be found on walls, banners and Guard uniforms.

The Goddess Hylia's crest was in the shape of a bird and the people of Skyloft, descendants of the people who lived among Hylia and the ancestors of the Hylians, rode giant birds and used the same symbol. Because of this, both the Series: and the Hylian Crest incorporate elements of the Goddess Crest.

In the Gerudo Desert, a partially broken TPHD: can be seen at the entrance of the TPHD: and it appears within the complex itself.

This crest features a Force Gem instead of the Triforce in its design. It is visible on the front of the Spirit Train as well as on Anjean. It appears to be the national symbol of the new Hyrule to distinguish it from the ancient one destroyed during the Great Flood that took place between the Adult Timeline ending of and.

The ALBW: appears throughout Hyrule in. Also introduced in this game is Lorule's ALBW:, which is similar but has an inverted Triforce, no talons, and three feathers instead of the four in Hyrule's version.
