Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time are still giants among the series in terms of influence and mindshare. I think the Triforce Group has the games that best encompass the core identity of the Zelda series. Looking through the list, this is honestly something of a tough one for me. Zelda's sealing ability is a core part of the story and imagery suggests a connection to the Triforce, but whether this indicates Zelda possesses the full Triforce, a portion, or is merely channeling the divinity of Hylia (who is associated with the Triforce and its symbology) is left deliberately vague. Similarly, the Triforce has a presence in Breath of the Wild, but is never directly named.It is referred to in game as the power given to those chosen by the Gods, but if someone were to have only played Twilight Princess in a vacuum, they would not have a real understanding of the powers and history of the Triforce. Twilight Princess's story heavily involves those who carry the Triforce, but it is never mentioned by name, appears only explicitly in a backstory cutscene, on character's hands, and in art throughout the game, and is never sought after as the main goal of either the villains or the heroes.The Oracle Games feature the Triforce as a framing device that sets Link off on his adventure, but have little impact on the story itself.The ones marked with an asterisk (*) are likely to generate some comments arguing about their categorization but hear me out. Games that do not Prominently Feature the Triforce Games that Prominently Feature the Triforce On average, do you prefer the Legend of Zelda games that feature the Triforce as central plot element, or the ones that focus on other kinds of plots? For the sake of this discussion, I am considering the games where an active goal of the player is to seek out/obtain the Triforce or a piece of it, versus the others where the Triforce plays either a more minor role or is not mentioned.
