The Triforce

==Summary==
The Triforce is a sacred and powerful relic that appears several times throughout The Legend of Zelda series.
When the three Golden Goddesses, Din, Nayru and Farore, finished their task of creating the world they left behind a symbol of their power known as the Triforce, which served as the foundation of the world itself. Before departing for the heavens, the three goddesses tasked Hylia with protecting the Triforce from those who may misuse it's power. Throughout history many wars have broken out over the golden power, many being able to resist the allure of having their greatest desires granted to them, and eventually it was sealed away at the center of the Sacred Realm by the ancient sage Rauru to prevent further bloodshed.
The Triforce can grant the wish of whoever touches it, molding it's resting place, the Sacred Realm, to reflect that person's heart in the process once they lay their hands upon it. The Triforce does not discriminate between good or evil, only judging those who desire to harness its power by the balance of power, wisdom, and courage within their heart. If they lack a perfect balance of those three virtues, then the Triforce will split into three separate parts, and the piece that best personifies the one who first touched the Triforce will be the only piece to remain within them, whilst the other two will take residence in whosoever most personifies them. Reassembly is then required for such a person's wish to be granted, but does not exclude another from making the attempt.

Attack Potency: Varies (The boost in power it grants varies, sometimes providing no boost at all or providing a large enough boost that Link needs to obtain itThe Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds; Obtaining the Triforce of Courage before he's ready to fight Yuga who had merged with Ganon and obtained the Triforce of PowerThe Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds; Yuga merges with Ganon) | Varies (The same as the Triforce of Courage) | At least Small Planet level (The Triforce of Power boosts Ganondorfs strength to a comparable level to Light Arrows) | Universe level (Warped the Sacred Realm into the Dark World, a parallel universe to the Light World)
Material or Element: Magic of the Three Golden Goddesses
Needed Prerequisite for Use: One's heart must have a balance of power, wisdom, and courage or else the Triforce will split apart into it's 3 main pieces, leaving the one who attempted to claim it with the piece that represents the virtue they most believe in (An example being Ganondorf only being left with the Triforce of Power when he first touched the Triforce), if this split happens then all 3 pieces must be reassembled again. Once it's reassembled it will grant it's full powers and grant the wishes of the person who reassembled it even if they lack a perfect balance of the 3 forces (As shown with Ganon in the downfall timeline gaining ownership over the True Force when he took the Triforces of Courage and Wisdom from Link and Zelda despite his hearts balance remaining the same as it was before), the user must also not be a god as gods are unable to harness its powerThe Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword; Link reunites with Zelda
