Triforce Chart



The Triforce Charts are a type of Treasure Chart that appear in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and its Wii U remaster, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. Each chart reveals the location of one of the Triforce Shards, which are required for Link to re-enter Hyrule. In the Nintendo GameCube version, Link has to collect eight Triforce Charts, but in the Wii U version, he only has to obtain three.

Link cannot make out the location by himself, and therefore, he must visit Tingle Island to have Tingle decipher the location for him. Tingle charges a hefty price of 398 Rupees per chart, totaling to 3,184 for every chart. In the Wii U release, Link only needs to pay 1,194 Rupees in total due to there only being three Treasure Charts. With the second Wallet upgrade, Link can carry enough Rupees to pay Tingle upfront per each chart.

After having Tingle decipher a Triforce Chart, the player can open the Maps menu, access the Charts submenu, and press to open each individual charts that Tingle has deciphered. Each Triforce Chart has a 100 x 100 view, with a yellow X representing the Triforce Shard's location on a vague, zoomed in view of the chart. If Link and the King of Red Lions are within range of a Triforce Shard, their presence is represented by a yellow triangle on the corresponding Triforce Chart; the triangle is pointing in the direction that Link and the King of Red Lions are facing. After Link obtains a Triforce Shard, it is marked off by a red circle on the corresponding Triforce Chart.

Locations
The IN-credible Chart reveals the island in which each Triforce Chart is located on. Most locations involve Link having to obtain a Triforce Chart by standing on a blue wind emblem and performing the Wind's Requiem, which causes a large red Treasure Chest to spawn on a circular Triforce emblem on the floor. Most of the Triforce Charts appear on an island in the "E" row of the Great Sea chart.

In The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, only Triforce Charts 1, 3, and 5 return, and the five Triforce Shards corresponding to each of their Triforce Charts were relocated in their place.

Even though the Triforce Charts are numbered, Link can still obtain them in any order.
