Triforce Secretly Hidden in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

May 19, 2024 2:33 PM

Zelda fans, take note! It seems the iconic Triforce symbol might have been hiding in plain sight in "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom." While the Triforce has been largely unimportant to the main story in both "Breath of the Wild" and "Tears of the Kingdom," keen-eyed players have noticed that the game’s three dragons—Dinraal, Naydra, and Farosh—each have a piece of a triangle, hinting at the iconic symbol. This neat Easter Egg has sparked excitement on Reddit, where user TheMathNut shared images showcasing the discovery. Unfortunately, since Nintendo has no plans for DLC for "Tears of the Kingdom," this subtle nod to the legendary Triforce will remain just that—a fun hidden detail for fans to find.

Where can you find the Triforce symbol in "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom"?

The Triforce symbol can be found on the backs of the three elemental dragons—Dinraal, Naydra, and Farosh. About halfway up each dragon’s back, you'll see a piece of the triangular symbol, a clever nod to the Triforce.

The "The Legend of Zelda" series has long captivated players with its deep lore and iconic symbols like the Triforce. First appearing in "The Legend of Zelda" in 1986, the Triforce is made up of three golden triangles and represents the three goddesses who created the land of Hyrule: Din, Farore, and Nayru. It's often a central element that players seek to unlock powerful abilities or restore balance to Hyrule.
