After [[Link]] defeated [[Agahnim]] in Hyrule Castle, Agahnim sent him to the Dark World, and deposited him on top of the pyramid. Later, after Link defeated Agahnim in [[Ganon's Tower]], Ganon fled to the Pyramid of Power. Link destroyed him, and rescued the [[Triforce]], which Ganon kept inside the pyramid.

It may be that the top of the Pyramid was once the spot where the Triforce shined down upon the rest of the [[Sacred Realm]], this being due to a picture of the Sacred Realm prior to its corruption from the manual of ''A Link to to the Past'' in addition to the steps that allow one to ascend to top of the pyramid from below and its location at the very heart of the Sacred Realm.

{{Noncanon|Start}}
The Pyramid of Power is briefly featured in the {{ALttP|Ishinomori}}. After failing to save Princess Zelda from Agahnim's clutches, Link kills  Agahnim by deflecting his own magic. However, Agahnim, with his final breath, manages to transport Link into the Dark World, with Hyrule Castle collapsing as the Pyramid of Power is revealed.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=It appears you are not such a fool after all...
