==Overview==
==Overview==
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. ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' elaborated that the three goddesses, {{iw|zeldawiki|Farore}}, {{iw|zeldawiki|Nayru}}, and {{iw|zeldawiki|Din}}, each constructed a piece and ordained the trio as the true force to govern the world and its inhabitants. 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.

The Triforce appears as the [[series symbol|symbol]] of ''The Legend of Zelda'' series in all five ''Smash Bros.'' games. In the [[opening movie]] of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', {{SSBM|Link}}'s, {{SSBM|Zelda}}'s, and {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}'s arms appear, with each of them wielding their respective piece of the Triforce. It also appears as structures on {{SSBM|Zelda}} and {{SSBM|Sheik}}'s [[Target Test]] stages, and in the [[Underground Maze]] of ''Melee''{{'}}s [[Adventure Mode]] as a goal one must reach to complete the [[stage]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Triforce is seen in [[Link]], [[Toon Link]], and [[Young Link]]'s [[Final Smash]], [[Triforce Slash]], as it traps the opponent while Link, Toon Link, or Young Link slashes them. In ''Ultimate'', {{SSBU|Zelda}} uses the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] in her new Final Smash, where she traps the opponents in the titular piece of the Triforce. Additionally, the {{uv|Animal Crossing}} Triforce amusingly appears as one of the various items thrown into the house as it's being built in [[Dream Home]] and [[Dream Town Hall]].
