Spoiler How Does Ganondorf Get ToP?

[zora warrior]

In OoT, the ending says/ shows that link leaves the MS in the pedestal. If the door to the Triforce's location is sealed off, how did Ganondorf get the ToP for TP to start? Sure, Ganondorf got the Triforce, but that was after link got the MS, at the start of the AT, and in the CT, nothing much happened except for MM, IIRC. Im in a hurry, so bye for now!

He was "blessed by the gods." The sages talk about it when they speak of banishing Ganondorf in TP. I assume it's the same thing as the Tri-Force, it's just he was born with it, or it was awakened by something.

 

[Linebeck1000]

Yes, he got it by "some divine prank" as the sages put it. There's a theory that the Triforce is omnipresent, so since he has it in the adult timeline its also granted to him in the child timeline. It transcends the boundaries of time due to its godlike nature. Hope that made sense.

 

[Ooccoo Watcher]

I really have no explanation, other that that means TP might be in the AT, not the CT.

 

[Skull_Kid]

The explanation may come in SS, or maybe we'll never get one apart from the "divine prank" one.
But I think that the Godesses gave it to him to balance things, considering that Link was in possession of the ToC and Zelda had the ToW, someone had to carry the ToP

@Linebeck:
Hahahahah, thats what i always suspected, i was going to put my theory, but i was in a hurry, so, thx every1!

Well, if you pay attention to what people say, then you know that someone (most likely a gerudo or a twili) played some prank on the goddesses, and he got the triforce of power.

I believe that even when Link was sent back in time to before he, Zelda, and Ganondorf obtained their respective Triforce pieces and before he met Zelda, that the Triforce pieces still went to their respective keepers, hence why Ganondorf has the ToP in TP on the CT. And why I think this is because of the simple fact that at the end of the credits to OoT, you can see the the Triforce emblem on the back of Link's hand. *see picture below*

Now, if it's shown that Link has the Triforce of Courage after he was sent back in time to before he met Princess Zelda and pulled the Master Sword out of it's pedestal and went into his seven-years slumber, who's to say that Princess Zelda and Ganondorf also have their respective pieces as well since Link is shown with his? Also, like how in TP the Sages didn't know about the ToP being in Ganondorf's possession, it's quite possible that even Link, Zelda, (OoT versions of Link and Zelda as well as TP Link) and Ganondorf themselves didn't know that they possessed them.

Even though it makes sense, it would turn all the "oh noez, we must go back in time to warn people of his intentions" plan pretty much worthless.
Also, I think that Link carriyn the mark on his hand is just a sign that he is the chosen hero.
Lemme explain: in old LoZ and AoL artwork, he had the crest on his hand, still the ToC was not created until AoL, and even then, he only obtained it at the end of the game

 

[Upsed]

Its because the Triforce have more power than the MS, so whatever MS does it dosen't affect the Triforce

 

[SS,OoT,WW,TP]

When link,zelda, and ganondorf got the triforces, they would have them for eternity, even in the past before he even got his hands on the triforce of power, the same with link and zelda.

That image could easily just be a glitch in the game,as niether TP Or MM Were even concieved when OoT Was realeased,also,how come in MM Link has no Triforce on his hand or better yet,why does Link have one on his hand in TP? ME VERY CONFUSED! :S

This is a fairly common question that we get; here is an answer I gave that outlines the entire connection between OoT and TP.

At the end of Ocarina of Time, the Hero of Time is returned to his childhood in order to seal the Door of Time. Because he experienced the future on the Adult Timeline as an adult, Link knows Ganondorf's plan to attack Castle Town and to gain entrance to the Sacred Realm via the Door of Time and obtain the Triforce. When Link returns to his childhood, the first place he is found is in Hyrule Castle Courtyard where he first met Zelda, who is spying on Ganondorf. The Hero of Time warns Zelda of Ganondorf's upcoming attack on Castle Town, so that they can prepare for his attack. Because the Hero of Time warned Zelda, Ganondorf's attack fails and he is captured. As shown on top of Arbiter's Grounds in TP, Ganondorf is put on trial and they attempt to execute him for treason.
Here's the tricky part. When they try to execute Ganondorf, he survives being stabbed and his hand glows, indicating that he has the Triforce of Power. It is theorized that Ganondorf obtained the Triforce on the CT because the Hero of Time returned with the Triforce of Courage (it is shown glowing on his hand in the courtyard scene), upsetting the balance of the Triforce that was held in the Sacred Realm on the CT. Take a look at this quotation:

The Triforce...the sacred triangle...
it is a balance that weighs the
three forces:
Power, Wisdom and Courage.
If the heart of the one who holds
the sacred triangle has all three
forces in balance, that one will
gain the True Force to govern all.
But, if that one's heart is not in
balance, the Triforce will separate
into three parts:
Power, Wisdom and Courage.
Only one part will remain for the
one who touched the Triforce...the
part representing the force that
one most believes in.
If that one seeks the True Force,
that one must acquire the two
lost parts.
Those two parts will be held
within others chosen by destiny,
who will bear the Triforce mark
on the backs of their hands.

By returning with the Triforce of Courage when the Triforce was whole, it is likely that the Triforce had to balance itself by redistributing itself into its three fragments as Sheik described, similar to how it distributed itself on the AT when Ganondorf obtained the Triforce of Power. In order to maintain the balance, Ganondorf must have been given the Triforce of Power on the CT when the Hero of Time returned, and Ganondorf's fragment must have activated when he was in danger of being killed on top of Arbiter's Grounds.
