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 Warship at Needle Rock Isle does not give Link Triforce Chart 5, but rather Treasure Chart 16, which sets Link upon a chain of Treasure Charts to find Triforce Chart 5. Using Treasure Chart 16, Link must travel to Shark Island to obtain Treasure Chart 28, then follow that to Needle Rock Isle to obtain Treasure Chart 3, then follow that to Eastern Fairy Island to obtain Treasure Chart 40, and finally follow that to Headstone Island to obtain Triforce Chart 5. Because this was altered in the North American and European versions, these Treasure Charts were also moved and their contents were changed.

If you are able to collect all of them, they will fuse together and complete the piece of the Triforce, once again opening the passage through the waves to Hyrule. You must search for the remaining shards.
