Zelda a link to the past manual#

The area where the Triforce was created eventually became known as the Sacred Realm. That’s how the object acquired the ability to grant anyone who touched it their heart’s desire. More than just a symbol, though, the Goddesses imbued the Triforce with a small portion of their powers. It was seemingly intended to be a kind of remnant of their efforts as well as a reminder that the gods were with the people of Hyrule.

What is important is what happened after their labors.Īfter they were finished crafting existence, the Goddesses created the Triforce itself. Granted, that information raises the question of who created the goddesses, but that isn’t important for now. Din, Goddess of Power, crafted the material plane Nayru, Goddess of Wisdom, created science, magic, and order and Farore, Goddess of Courage, formed all living beings.

Zelda a link to the past manual#

Unlike the first two Legend of Zelda games, though, that manual offers far more information about the Triforce itself.Īccording to the Link to the Past manual, Hyrule was created by three Golden Goddesses: Din, Nayru, and Farore.

However, the actual origins of the Triforce weren’t revealed until The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.Įven though A Link to the Past provides more story exposition than the previous two Legend of Zelda entries combined, its manual is still an essential part of the title’s lore. The third piece that Link wields in subsequent entries, the Triforce of Courage, wasn’t even introduced until the second Zelda game, The Adventure of Link. In fact, in that game, the Triforce isn’t an object but a series of relics (specifically the Triforce of Power and the Triforce of Wisdom).
