The Triforce: An object left behind by the gods. Ye who holds it may make a wish, if that person's heart is pure, Hyrule will be cast into a golden age. If that person's heart is dark, Hyrule will be destroyed. Consists of three parts, Power, Wisdom, Courage, if person whom touches it does not believe in them equally it will split, and the part in which the person believes most will stay with him. The other two pieces go to whom deserve them most. This is why when Ganondorf touched it, it split into three parts, Power staying with Ganondorf, Courage going to Link and Wisdom going to Zelda.

The Master Sword: Resting in the Temple of Time, it waits for the Hero of Time to awaken it. With power infused into it by the gods, the sword is evil's bane. The metals it is comprised of or its origin are unknown. Hero of Time: Born with the destiny to save the world, the oldest son on Link's family are all these. They have the ability to brandish the Master Sword.

Gerudo: The Hyrulian versions of the Amazons. The Gerudo's are a society of female thieves. Every one-hundred years a male who is born of Gerudian blood is allowed to stay in the society. Ganondorf is this man. After the "death" of Ganondorf the Gerudo's revolted unsuccessfully, but are no longer under Hyrulian jurisdiction. Since the unsuccessful revolution many assassination attempts have been made on Queen Zelda.

The Hyrulian Gods: Din, Goddess of Power. Shaped the world with her flaming arms. Farore, Goddess of Courage. Gave the world a sense of law. Nayru, Goddess of Wisdom. Created all beings who would uphold the law. These three Goddesses created the Triforce and left it behind. Where they placed the Triforce is known as the Sacred Realm.
