The three Goddesses of Wisdom, courage, and power unite as one and become the triforce. Three people get a piece of it. The great princess, Zelda. Princess of the land of Hyrule holds the triforce of wisdom. A fairy boy, Link. Small and unlikely hero, gets the triforce of courage. And then the dark lord Ganondorf, gets the triforce of power. He stole it. These three are all going to meet at some point and that begins The Legend of Zelda.... :D (That was a really lame description, I'm sorry :P)
