As for the Triforce of Courage, it vanished, but it was said to reside within the spirit of a true hero, and it would awaken when its time came. During the time ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]'', [[Hilda]] and [[Yuga]] of [[Lorule]] set a plan into motion to steal Hyrule's Triforce for their own kingdom. Yuga used his magic to turn Princess Zelda, the current holder of the Triforce of Wisdom, and the Seven Sages into paintings and used them in a ritual to revive Ganon, whom he then fused with. Link went on a mission to rescue the Seven Sages and proved himself as a true hero at the same time. The Sages then used their power to summon the Triforce of Courage for him, unaware that this was part of Hilda and Yuga's plan. Hilda later took the Triforce of Wisdom from Zelda's painting, but Yuga Ganon then betrayed her by turning her into a painting and claiming that piece for himself as well. After Yuga Ganon's defeat, the Triforce was united and returned to Hyrule's Sacred Realm. There, Zelda and Link made a wish on it together that restored Lorule's Triforce. |

At some point before or after this, the Triforce of Courage was hidden within the Great Temple, where only someone capable of wielding it could find it.

In ''The Adventure of Link'', Link received a Triforce mark on his hand on his 16th birthday, which led him to go on an adventure to claim the Triforce of Courage from the Great Temple. After finding it and reuniting the Triforce, he used it to revive the sleeping Princess Zelda from the backstory. |

In the aftermath of Link's defeat of Ganondof in ''Ocarina of Time'', Ganondorf had been sealed away while possessing the Triforce of Power. And as Link was sent back in time to a different timeline, this timeline's Triforce of Courage split into eight pieces that were scattered around what would later become the [[Great Sea]]. The Triforce of Wisdom was also split into two pieces, one being held by [[Daphnes Nohansen]] while the second was seemingly given to his offspring and passed down to [[Tetra]]. | In the aftermath of Link's defeat of Ganondof in ''Ocarina of Time'', Ganondorf had been sealed away while possessing the Triforce of Power.

The new incarnation of Link, the Hero of Winds, also traveled the Great Sea and earned the Triforce of Courage by uniting its pieces. At the end of the game, Ganondorf united the Triforce after incapacitating Link and Zelda, but Daphnes beat him to it. He wished to give Link and Zelda hope, and for Hyrule to come to an end. This caused the Great Sea to begin flooding into the preserved part of Hyrule, destroying it while the Triforce itself ascended to an unknown location. |

− | + | ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' is vague in relations to the Triforce. The backstory told of a group of interlopers who attempted to take control over the Triforce in the past, only to be imprisoned within the [[Twilight Realm]] where they became the [[Twili]]. Within the game, Link, Zelda and Ganondorf all appeared to have their respective Triforce pieces, as evident in the Triforce marks on their hands. It is shown that Ganondorf gained the Triforce of Power suddenly when he was about to be executed by the [[Sages]], an empowerment which they described as a 'folly of the gods'. The mark on Ganondorf's hand faded away during his apparent death in the ending, which may represent the Triforce of Power leaving his body. | |
− | + | The Triforce played no role in the storyline of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', but at the end of the game, a Triforce symbol over a doorway in Hyrule Castle was shown to glow golden. It is uncertain if this is supposed to literally represent the Triforce's presence or not. | |

[[Cia]] was originally entrusted with the protection of the Triforce, but it scattered after she was corrupted by Ganondorf's spirit. She initially kept Power while Courage and Wisdom went to Link and Zelda, respectively. When Link and Zelda (disguised as Sheik) tried to fight Cia, she managed to swipe both of their Triforce pieces and used it to open the Gates of Souls in different time periods, to free fragments of Ganondorf's sealed spirit. However, Cia later railed against Ganondorf's attempts to control her and the Triforce by making it scatter again, ad so Link and Zelda regained their respective pieces. When Cia perished in battle, [[Lana]] received the Triforce of Power from her. However, Ganondorf then launched a campaign in which he ended up defeating all three of the Triforce holders and stole their pieces to unite the Triforce. He used its power to start conquering Hyrule and then to turn into Ganon, but he was ultimately defeated by Link and his friends. Link, Zelda and Lana then regained their respective pieces and used the full Triforce's power to seal Ganon away again. The ending of the Wind Waker tale later shows that, after Cia's return, she and Lana watched over the full Triforce together. | |

*The two pieces of the Triforce from ''The Legend of Zelda'' appear in the Zelda cartoon. Reflecting the status quo at the beginning of the first game, Princess Zelda has the Triforce of Wisdom protected while Ganon seeks the Triforce of Power.
