[[File:The-Creation-of-Hyrule.jpg|thumb|500px|right|The Creation of Hyrule from the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' Game Manual.]]According to the Hylian scrolls, the mythical gods descended from the [[Heavens]] to the world and created order and life. The [[Din|God of Power]] dyed the mountains red with fire and created land. The [[Nayru (Goddess)|God of Wisdom]] created science and wizardry and brought order to nature. And the [[Farore|God of Courage]], through justice and vigor, created life — the animals that crawl the land and the birds that soar in the sky. After the gods had finished their work, they left the world, but not before creating a symbol of their strength, a golden triangle known as the Triforce. A small but powerful portion of the essence of the gods was held in this mighty artifact, which was to guide the intelligent life on the world of Hyrule. | [[File:The-Creation-of-Hyrule.jpg|thumb|500px|right|The Creation of Hyrule from the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' Game Manual.]]According to the Hylian scrolls, the mythical gods descended from the [[Heavens]] to the world and created order and life.

Although it was an inanimate object, the Triforce had the power to bestow three titles which gave the person who received them great powers: "The Forger of Strength", "The Keeper of Knowledge", and "The Juror of Courage". From its hiding place in the so-called [[Sacred Realm|Golden Land]] where the Gods placed it, the Triforce beckoned people from the outside world to seek it in the hope that someone worthy of these titles would find it. | Although it was an inanimate object, the Triforce had the power to bestow three titles which gave the person who received them great powers: "The Forger of Strength", "The Keeper of Knowledge", and "The Juror of Courage".
