Template:Object The Wingcrest is a common depiction of the Triforce above a Loftwing.[1] 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 Arbiter's Grounds. 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 Wingcrest and the Hylian Crest incorporate elements of the symbol she used when ruling over the same land long ago.[2][3][4]

Appearances

Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time, the Wingcrest makes several appearances throughout the game. It can be found on the Guard uniforms, above the drawbridge leading to the Market, on the tombstone of the Royal Family's Tomb, and in the Castle Courtyard.

They also appear in certain rooms that contain a Triforce Chart, such as the one in the Islet of Steel. A giant Wingcrest is depicted in the boss room of the Wind Temple.

The Minish Cap

In The Minish Cap, the crest appears above the bell in Castle Town and is shown several times throughout Hyrule Castle on several walls. It can also be seen in the Royal Crypt where members of the Royal Family of Hyrule are buried.

In the Gerudo Desert, a partially broken Wingcrest can be seen at the entrance of the Arbiter's Grounds and it appears within the complex itself. Atop the Grounds, in the Mirror Chamber, versions of the crest with the six Medallions replacing the Triforce appear.

Spirit Tracks
