The Triforce first appears in the seminal ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', though only the Triforce of Power and Wisdom make an appearance. The Triforce of | The Triforce first appears in the seminal ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', though only the Triforce of Power and Wisdom make an appearance. The Triforce of Courage debuted in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'', and the pieces have appeared as a trio ever since. While the Triforce has not appeared in every ''Zelda'' game, the games that do feature it have the three pieces spread across the main characters - typically the blood of the goddess holds the Triforce of Wisdom, the left piece; the reincarnation of {{s|zeldawiki|Demise}} holds the Triforce of Power, the top piece; and the spirit of the hero holds the Triforce of Courage, the right piece. Wielders of a Triforce piece are considered incredibly powerful individuals, capable of seemingly impossible feats and abilities. | ||
If all three pieces are brought together, the Triforce grants the wielder a wish. However, the Triforce can deem someone as not worthy of a wish. In this case, the pieces split apart, with only the piece that most closely represents the wielder staying with them, and the other two choosing on a host of their own. A wielder can be identified by a triangular mark typically seen on the back of their hand. The Triforce does not discern between good and evil, so anyone can theoretically wield the Triforce and have their wish granted if they are deemed worthy. This is most clearly seen by [[Ganondorf]], the most reoccuring antagonist in the series, being chosen by the Triforce of Power despite his malicious intentions in all of his appearances. | If all three pieces are brought together, the Triforce grants the wielder a wish.
