Light Force Zelda Minish Cap

[ZeldaGod101]

tell me what do you think the light force is it could be zelda's triforce of wisdom or could be something even more important

in my beliefe it could be something like a new power other then the triforce or it could possibly a 4th piece of the triforce

There is no such thing as a "fourth piece of the triforce". There are only three pieces. Hence why it's called "Triforce". "Tri" means "Three".

I always thought that the Light Force had nothing to do with the Triforce. If I recall correctly, the Minish are the ones who gave the humans the Light Force. So, based on that, I think the Light Force is something else entirely, created by the Minish. I guess you could say it's the Minish version of the Triforce.

Since Skyward Sword was released, theories have emerged speculating that the Light Force is the power of Hylia left within Princess Zelda's bloodline. However, those theories generally disregard The Minish being the ones to deliver it along with the Picori Blade, as told in The Minish Cap's intro.

It is most likely not a fourth piece of the Triforce. Beyond the 'Tri' meaning 'Three', each individual piece is associated with a Golden Goddess. For there to be a fourth Triforce piece, surely we would need a fourth Golden Goddess too. If that were the case I'm sure it would have been at the very least mentioned at one point. The fact that it hasn't makes me think it is not likely.

We can see how The Minish have access to quite powerful magic by way of Ezlo creating a cap which grants wishes (Vaati is proof that the magic in that cap is quite powerful indeed) so it may just be that the Light Force is some form of that magic given to the Hylians to fight off the evil that filled the world at that time.

That's just pure speculation mind, we don't have nearly enough information for a definitive answer.

well hylia herself is a goddess so im thinking she could of possibly made the light force so she could create her version for a 4th triforce piece and also triforce doesent necessarily mean 3 pieces since in the first game they had the triforce of power and wisdom but courage was left out for the second game and also when someone posses all 3 pieces they have the true force so that is also evidence that the triforce could possibly be any number of golden triangles

Hylia isn't one of the Golden Goddesses though, she is a lesser deity who was tasked to safeguard the Triforce. On top of that, we were explicity told that the Minish are the ones who gave the Light Force to the Hylians, not Hylia or even the Golden Goddesses.

The True Force is the power granted by the Triforce to someone who has balance between the three virtues in their heart, it's not a physical object like the Triforce itself. It's not like the Triforce merges into one bigger triangle. Evidence of this is how the kings of Hyrule use the Triforce, which still exists as a physical, three-part object, to govern Hyrule in an age of peace and prosperity.
