The other Triangle

[Bluelink6]

that's a looong post. But i can see all the ways people could have though of it that way. Maybe the thing with theories about a quadforce was why they changed the hylian sheild design? I mean, the triforce represents the zelda franchise. turning it cor people saying it was something its not would ruin it, right?

Exactly... I copy-pasted that article cause it explains and denies all possible theories,a nd, by the way, great thing to discuss, congrats

That sort of made a little sense.

What do you know? I finally made a thread skuul kid approves of!

Anyway, I tihnk that maybe this 4th triangle represents...maybe it represent whatever triforce peice comes on top, better than the others? Birds soar. Fly. If the bird was carrying a triforce peice, a trianlge symobolizing a peice of the triforce better than the other 2, that would fly up with it, symbolizing it soaring to greatness above the other peices, it being better than the others.

Even though you think so, I have nothing against you, kid...
And this is a thing wich havent' yet been discussed... yet i barely touched the subject on my light force thread

Iv'e got one word for you: DECORATION! D-e-c-o-r-a-t-i-o-n
They probably thought it looked bad so...TADAA!!

 

[Bluelink6]

But anyway, that peice....If my other theory was right, which peice might it be? there's a 1 in 3 chance of it being power, same for courage and wisdom. But if it was to symbolize power, I an see why. But considering ganon, who has power, always loses, somehow I don't think so. Courage will help you do scary tihngs, but other than that its not much good. What about wisdom?

It probably was meant to be a fourth piece, but was scrapped and the art was eradicated from more recent titles... also, it is the Hylian Royal Family Crest

 

[Bluelink6]

That's true....has the bloodline of the family ever changed? If it has, then that might explain why it changed, but I don't tihnk it ever did change. Is it the smae bloodline form the beginning to what it is currently, or...?

 

[Skull_Kid]

I don't get what you are trying to say, but i guess it didn't change... also... In the PH the shield has what it looks like a lobster

 

[Bluelink6]

What I'm saying is....well...you said the crest of the hylian sheild was the creats of the royal family. what I'm saying is...If the bloodline of the royal family changed, that could explain the change in sheild design. and also, That would fit if nintendo had realized the fourth triangle was making poeple think of a quadforce.

 

[Skull_Kid]

Follow my line of thoughts: LoZ introduced only two pieces, and AoL introduced the third one, courage, at the time, and by the time the hylian shield's design was created, wich was in the SNES ALttP, and the Shield wasn't called hylian shield at the time, but the layout was already in the game art

 

[Bluelink6]

Which is all well and good knowing when the desing was created, but how does that explain the 4th peice shown? unless it mayhap symbolized An idea someone had for a 4th peice that had been brushed aside.

 

[Skull_Kid]

Exactly, ALttP was juts the 3rd game of the series, and they probably had another piece in their sleeves, but Triforce got so commonly known as the high symbol of the Zelda series that it was scrapped off, cause the Tetra/Quadforce rumours started only after MM or so

 

[Bluelink6]

and the reason they started after MM was becuase on that you could see the pattern whch showed the fourth peice, right? I see what you're getting at. and then they canged it, which I tihnk must have been becuase of those rumours circulating about a quadforce.......becuase triforce was the symbol of the zelda series. Changing it justl ike that.....I would be the death bells ringing for the series, essentially , i beleive.
