Triforce

The Triforce is a sacred relic made up of three golden triangles. These sacred triangles were left behind by the three Golden Muses — Din, the Muse of Power; Nayru, the Muse of Wisdom; and Farore, the Muse of Courage — after they ended the Demon War and ascended to the heavens. It is kept secured inside the Sacred Realm, protected by the Seven Sages.

Hyrule's Triforce consists of three separate sacred golden triangles: the Triforce of Power (top), the Triforce of Wisdom (left), and the Triforce of Courage (right). The Triforce has the power to grant the wish of whomever touches it, but were it to be touched by someone without a balance of Power, Wisdom and Courage. It would split, and they would keep only the part that most personifies them. The other pieces would be sent to two other people following the same criteria.
