Less a physical object this time around, the triforce is already split and is given out to the one person who most represents that feature; Queen Zelda holding the triforce of wisdom but using it to heal another, Gannondorf reciving the piece of Power when faced with his execution, and Link holding the triforce of Courage from the begining. The triforce also provides protection from the Twilight Realm, allowing them to remain aware and active in this shadowy world.
