It is also a recurring element within the games for characters to gain Triforce marks on the back of their hands. This was associated with ownership of a Triforce piece in ''Ocarina of Time'', where the mark would only glow matching the Triforce piece that the character has, and the Triforce marks have the same meaning in ''The Wind Waker'' and seemingly ''Twilight Princess'' as well. However, there have also been several instances where a character (so far all incarnations of Link) has had a Triforce mark without owning a piece of the Triforce. In ''Zelda II'', Link gained a Triforce mark on his hand on his sixteenth birthday (despite having obtained two pieces of the Triforce in the previous game), and it was described as the mark of a legendary hero. The Triforce mark had similar implications for Link in the ''Oracles'' games. | It is also a recurring element within the games for characters to gain Triforce marks on the back of their hands.

− | ''Skyward Sword'' utilized the Triforce mark in a way that redefined it, as Link suddenly gained the mark when his sword was empowered with the first of the three sacred flames (which were each associated with a different goddess). For each flame that he reached, one matching piece of his Triforce mark would begin glowing. This would seem to imply that Link was gaining the Triforce pieces, but Zelda later clarified that the full Triforce mark proved that he had passed his trials and was someone worthy of truly wielding the Triforce.
