We all are familiar with the three goddesses Nayru, Din, and Farore. They have been mentioned in several Zelda titles and are well known for being the creators of the triforce. This theory did arise from the tetraforce theory, however this will have little to do with the tetraforce.
The three golden goddesses have all been associated to a color and element; Din-red & fire, Nayru-blue & water, Farore-green & wind. In the games Four Swords and Four Swords Adventures Link becomes four separate bodies. One is green, one is red, and one is blue. Or, the colors often associated with the three goddesses. Only there is a fourth Link, a purple one. The Minish Cap explains that the Four Sword that broke Link into four was forged from the combination of the four elements. Fire is red, Water is blue, Wind is green, and purple is Earth. Once again, we see the three goddesses' elements with the exception of one extra.
Many have theorized the fourth triforce was created by an evil goddess, and while the triforce may or may not exist, the goddess still might. I believe that this goddess may have been the creator of the monsters and dark beings that Link fights throughout his quest. You may challenge this with "Farore created the life", but Farore created life to uphold the law. These monsters were created to break it, thus there savage and brutish actions. The goddess's possible evil is supported by the fact that earth and death go hand in hand. The Earth Temple in Wind Waker is a dungeon of death. The Shadow Medallion of Ocarina of Time is purple, much like the element of earth in TMC. Ikana Canyon of Majora's Mask is home of the Stone Tower Temple. Stone[/B Tower Temple. While this rocky canyon can be associated with earth, this area's main theme is also death.
Ikana Kingdom is also riddled with images depicting the triforce. It is not, however, being praised. It is seen on the tongues of the statues, and included on the bottom of some platforms to get to the temple. Even at the temple, there is a burning hand pointing towards the sky. The use of the triforce is a disgrace hear, almost as though the creators of the temple despised the goddesses, or maybe the fourth did.
If we look at the OoT shield (no, I am not supporting the tetraforce theory), we see the triforce, the crest of Hylia, and a fourth triforce. Is this possibly an hierarchy of praise? The top symbolizing the three golden goddesses, below them Hylia, and even further below is the fourth goddess. Also to note, the triforce is pointing down, possibly towards the earth.
While this may not be the strongest theory out there, I just have been thinking about it alot lately, and will do further research.
