The Trident makes its first appearance in {{ALttP}}, where Ganon uses it in the first stage of his boss battle. He will spin it and toss it at [[Link]] while sending [[Blazing Bat]]s after him. After a certain point, Ganon will abandon this tactic and use his secret technique of Darkness in lieu of the Trident.<ref>{{Cite|You are doing well, lad.

When Ganon and [[Yuga]] join together, they wield a golden weapon that is a combination of Ganon's Trident, and Yuga's magical paintbrush staff. [[Yuga Ganon]] uses this Trident in order to combat Link at the end of the game until he absorbs the Triforce of Wisdom and begins using magic instead. The Trident is infused with dark power and is also used as a throwing weapon once more, but also retains Yuga's paintbrush staffs ability to transform other beings into paintings. After Yuga Ganon is defeated, the Trident is destroyed along with him.

The Trident is also a class of Weapon used by Ganondorf. It is associated with {{Term|HWDE|Element|link|display=Lightning}}. As with the five Warriors from the base game of {{HW|L|-}}, it can be transferred to {{HW|-}} via a code, or purchased through the ''Legends'' Character DLC Pack. In {{HW|L|-}} and {{HW|DE}}, the Trident is unlocked in [[Adventure Mode]] as the Reward for an A-Rank Victory in either Battle B-8 on the [[Adventure Map]] or Battle A-1 on the [[Great Sea Map]].

Ganondorf throws his Trident forward, striking the group of enemies directly in front of him and dragging them along. He then hovers, taking altitude while charging a ball of lightning in his hand, which he then throws into the Trident, causing a huge explosion. This attack hits enemies immediately in front of Ganondorf, and also those caught in the explosion.
