Trivia
- This event match's name is a reference to the recurring theme of The Legend of Zelda series where Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf possess the three parts of the Triforce (Courage, Wisdom, and Power, respectively).
- The music track that plays during this event match is the musical theme of the overworld in The Legend of Zelda, the debut game of Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf (who is first known as Ganon).
- The music track also plays on the Great Bay stage, despite the fact the event match takes place on the Final Destination stage.
