Triforce Chart
Triforce Charts are Items in The Wind Waker.[1]
Uses
The Triforce Charts are necessary in order to gather all eight shards of the Triforce of Courage. The charts are hidden within different islands of the Great Sea, and to obtain them all Link must complete several challenges. The King of Red Lions informs Link that the entire Triforce of Courage must be completed in order to return to Hyrule.[2][3]
At first, the Triforce Charts are unreadable and Link must ask Tingle to Decipher them.[4] For a fee of 398 Rupees each,[5] Tingle will Decipher all eight of these charts, allowing Link to pinpoint the location of each of the Triforce Shards. Link will have to pay Tingle a total of 3184 Rupees for the Deciphering of all eight charts. Link, after obtaining his second Wallet upgrade, can pay the entire lump sum at once, as his final wallet upgrade enables him to carry up to 5000 Rupees at a time.
In The Wind Waker HD, five of the charts are removed and replaced with the Triforce Shards themselves. The locations where the shards would otherwise have been now have new standard treasure charts along with different treasure.

Trivia
- In the Japanese version of The Wind Waker, the Golden Ship at Needle Rock does not give Link Triforce Chart 5 but rather Treasure Chart 16, which Link has to use to undergo a chain of Treasure Charts to find the Triforce Chart. From Treasure Chart 16, Link must obtain Treasure Chart 28 at Shark Island, then follow it to Treasure Chart 3 at Needle Rock, then follow Treasure Chart 3 to Treasure Chart 40 at Eastern Fairy Island, and finally follow Treasure Chart 40 to obtain Triforce Chart 5 at Headstone Island. Because this was altered in the North American and European versions, these Treasure Charts were also moved and their contents were changed.
