Summary
The Triforce, also known as the Ultimate Power, is a sacred golden relic left behind by the Golden Goddesses, Din, Nayru, and Farore, once they finished creating the realm, which came to be known as Hyrule. The Goddess Hylia was tasked with the protection of this world and the Triforce. After Hylia ceases to exist as a goddess, the Triforce is protected by the Royal Family of Hyrule, the sages and the Sheikah.
The Triforce consists of three separate triangles: the Triforce of Power is always depicted as the top piece, with the Triforce of Courage typically represented by the right piece, and the Triforce of Wisdom typically represented by the left piece. Although the Triforce was created by gods, it can never be used by one, possibly the goddesses' way of giving hope to all the mortal beings in Hyrule.
The Triforce is the ultimate source of power in The Legend of Zelda series and serves as the balance that weighs the three forces: Power, Wisdom and Courage. It has the ability to grant the wish of those who obtain it, regardless of whether the person's intentions are "good" or "evil". It is said that the wish will hold true until the user of the Triforce dies. The Triforce can also change the appearance of the Sacred Realm to reflect the heart of the person who enters it. Since the Triforce is the basis of Hyrule's providence, a crest bearing the image of the Triforce serves as the official crest of the Royal Family of Hyrule.
During the Era of the Goddess Hylia, Demise and his hordes launched an attack to the Surface in an attempt to get their hands on the omnipotent relic. It is currently unknown whether the Triforce was already located in the Sacred Realm at that point. During the Era of Chaos the Triforce was already in the Sacred Realm and the ancient Sage Rauru constructed the Temple of Time, which contained the only, sealed entrance to the Sacred Realm. The Triforce was placed in the Temple of Light, at the center of the Sacred Realm, where it remained undisturbed for many ages until the events of Ocarina of Time.
