The Triforce of Wisdom, often associated with a blue color, holds the essence of the second Goddess, Nayru. Traditionally, this piece of the Triforce is bound to Princess Zelda. In The Legend of Zelda, Princess Zelda divides the Triforce of Wisdom into eight shards and scatters them across Hyrule in order to hide it from Ganon.

The Legend of Zelda
In the first game, Princess Zelda splits the Triforce of Wisdom into eight separate pieces and hides them within eight dungeons scattered throughout Hyrule in an attempt to prevent the evil Ganon from obtaining it. She then sends her attendant Impa to find a hero capable of destroying Ganon. Impa finds Link who agrees to help. He then travels to the eight dungeons and retrieves the pieces. Only when the Triforce of Wisdom is assembled will Link be able to gain access to Ganon's dungeon on Death Mountain.
The Adventure of Link
The Triforce of Wisdom was obtained back in The Legend of Zelda after Link re-assembled the eight pieces. Along with the Triforce of Power and the Triforce of Courage from the Great Palace, Link uses the three Triforce pieces to awaken the sleeping Princess Zelda.
