The three pieces of the Triforce are often in the possession of the three main characters of the series, Ganon, Zelda, and Link, who each embody one of its virtues: power, wisdom, and courage. Obtaining the Triforce is a frequent objective in the series, requiring the player to search for its shards and protect it from Ganon, who seeks its power for evil purposes.
