According to lore in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the Triforce fo Wisdom embodies the wisdom and knowledge 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."

In The 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 always the carrier of the Triforce of Wisdom, granting her the title of "The Keeper of Knowledge."
