TetraForce theory! [PLEASE READ]

The triforce is a little part of the power of the 3 creator goddesses. So it would be hard for a deity from another dimension it would be hard. Also if a 4th piece exist it should had been created along the other 3 pieces. For the time of Hyrule's creation Termina and the other lands did not existed. Because they where created by slips of the goddesses power through cracks of time. After the creation of Hyrule and the triforce

Kinda interesting. It looks like an upside down triforce piece with three dots in the positions of current triforce pieces.


The real idea behind the Tetraforce theory:

1. Why does it only seem to be in existence in a few games?
2. Who made it?
3. and Why is ocarina of time the only one to show it?

See?



My opinion:

It exists to the theorist who wants it to.

I believe it could exist, but there would have to be a 4th Deity to change things. If you believe in the theory, it could easily be Demise.

You actually get that after going through the Shadow Temple, but I like yer theory. I don't believe in the Tetraforce, but I have my own theories about this.

My theory is heavily based off of the Life Force Overkill Theory, which is way back in 2009.

Also, I'm just going to put this out there, but the crest of New Hyrule also features the upside down triangle, as well as the Lokomo Sword and Space-Time Gates. And Spirit Island in Phantom Hourglass, when viewed on the sea chart map, looks exactly like the symbol on the Shadow Medallion.

And if the Tetraforce is real, than I know what it stands for. Termina was created from a slip of the Goddesses' power into a crack of Time, right? And there's a mention of a Goddess of Time. Also, Ciela from Phantom Hourglass is the spirit of Courage and Time. Put two and two together.

Yes those upside triangles represent force gems. That is another dimension that do not worship the goddess. The goddess of Time is Nayru,Farore or Hylia. Ciela is the spirirt of Courage and time. That means they are represented by the same spirit and by extension the same triforce piece

Forget the tetraforce. Since we're on the topic of shields being proof of other triforce pieces, this shield stands as proof there are 5!



The question is, who and why? And why are pieces of the pentaforce called tri-(three)-force pieces?

In addition to the three goddesses, they must be represented by Hylia and the goddess of time mentioned in Majora's Mask.

Also, look at this picture:



Look at all the triangles. They all fit together so perfectly. There must be more triforce pieces out there.

Doesn't matter how uncanny it is. Could say the same thing about Zelda when she was princess though she had demand over a bunch of male knights.

And yea, this theory's been debunked a looong time ago. Miyamoto himself even changed the Original Hylian Shield to help debunk this theory.

Brilliant!

Any extra triforce pieces represent force gems. That's it. There's nothing else to it, other than the possible Courage, Wisdom, Power, and Time unity.

Force Gems/Light Force make up the Triforce, which is why other dimensions/nations that the Golden Trio don't favor only have Force Gems.

You probably shouldn't be presumptuou/patronizing in your theories, we HAVE all taken Tetra's name into account (or have seen another TetraForce theorizer doing so) because most of us are obsessive little nitpicks like that.

I personally don't see enough in the games to make me suspect the existence of a TetraForce, but it sure would be interesting.

Some possible-support for your theory would be that there's a bird apparently carrying another triangle on the Hylain Shield/Crest (like someone mentioned) and the fact that the fourth triangle would have to be upside down. An upside down TriForce is very prominent in parts of Termina.

Do you mean the OOT hylian shield? I would interpret that as if the bird was landing in the surface. I hae a wholw theory based on the Hylian shield. That upside triangle represent the surface. Because probably the red bird represents Link's Loftwing

Maybe, but we hardly knew about that pre-SS.

In regard to the OP, the name of Tetra in TWW is actually based off a fish from what I've heard. A tetra is an actual fish, it likely had nothing to do with the "Tetraforce". Although in regard to the Tetraforce theory as a whole, I don't believe we can be sure either way. The series is still developing and a new goddess, Hylia, was recently revealed in SS and apparently in some ways started the whole series. We didn't know about Hylia until 2011, so who's to say that there are even more pieces of Zelda lore we don't know of yet. For all we know, maybe Hylia/Zelda or someone else made a fourth piece of the Triforce.

Looks like, once again, I ♥♥♥♥ed up another thread.

See, the Tetraforce currently doesn't exist. They could add an element/aspect that changes things, but that is very unlikely.

Yeah but the triforce was created by the creation trio. So if a new piece was created it would be a completely diferent relic.

You could be right, or if we want to be realistic, maybe there weren't only three creators. It is an ancient story, and maybe someone could've been left out while being passed down. I'm not suggesting this, I'm simply recognizing the possibility.

But the one who tells the story is the great deku tree. He probably have a great memory and there have always be 3 when refering to the creation trio. Even in SS in the seal spike only 3 symbols appaer the symbols of the goddesses. Beloveddoll maybe the shield let us know what happen. That is why they probably added the triangle to represent te surface and by the ages the Hylian just forgot about it and was remove from the shield.

Actually it proves there are 6!

How does this "prove" anything? Nintendo OPENLY STATED that there are no more than three Triforce pieces, and even removed the extra piece on the Ocarina of Time Hylian Shield.

Any extra pieces are purely symbolistic or are just design choices.

Guys, please stop being sarcastic and negative. You can get your point across without being insulting.

@SailorMoon, really? :

WHAT'S THAT FI? 95% CHANCE I'M A RETARD IF I CAN'T BEAT THIS GAME? THANKS.

I agree extra pieces are design choices There are too many 'what if's without substantial proof for me. I'm not sure if it has been officially debunked as I've never seen anything saying that for myself.... but I would say it's unlikely.

What if the fourth "triforce" piece is actually a fail safe for the goddesses? Not known by those outside the inner circle of the divinity? If it was a fail safe created in order to defeat someone holding the "full" triforce, then its power would revolve around something that could defeat power, courage, and wisdom - something like time?

The only instance where there was someone who had the full Triforce was Ganon in Alttp and he was completely destroyed by Link with the Silver Arrow.

No "fail safe" was needed.
