The Triforce of Wisdom, together with the Triforce of Power and the Triforce of Courage, compose the complete Triforce.
According to lore in Ocarina of Time, the Triforce of Wisdom embodies the essence of the goddess Nayru. She left this piece of the Triforce behind after she had "poured her wisdom onto the Earth to give the spirit of Law to the World" and the other two godesses, Din and Farore, had fulfilled their own parts. The "three great goddesses returned to the heavens, [together] leaving behind the golden sacred Triforce." When Ganondorf attempted to lay his hands on the Triforce, the Triforce of Wisdom was bestowed upon Zelda.
In The Wind Waker, Zelda, in her guise as Tetra, carries a part of the Triforce of Wisdom in the form of a pendant. The remaining fragment is given to her by the King of Hyrule.
In Legend of Zelda, Princess Zelda splits up the Triforce of Wisdom into eight fragments and hides them throughout the land, fearing Ganon's rule after he steals the Triforce of Power. Link must reassemble the Triforce of Wisdom if he hopes to enter Death Mountain, destroy Ganon, and save Princess Zelda.
Princess Zelda is often presented as the carrier of the Triforce of Wisdom, granting her the title of "The Keeper of Knowledge."
