'''Triforce Shards''', also known as '''Triforce fragments''', are units broken off from a piece of the [[Triforce]]. They appear in two main series titles, ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'' and two spinoff titles: ''[[Zelda (Game & Watch)|Zelda]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda Game Watch]]''. In all of their appearances, Triforce Shards are the result of a piece of the Triforce being broken into eight units and scattered in various locations away to hide it from [[Ganon]].

Prior to the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', [[Ganon]] had stolen the [[Triforce of Power]]. [[Princess Zelda]] feared he would also steal the [[Triforce of Wisdom]], so she split it into eight pieces and hid one in each [[dungeon|level]]. During the game, [[Link]] goes on a journey to recover the eight Triforce fragments to reassemble the Triforce of Wisdom.

Each Triforce fragment is located at the end of a labyrinth, and Link can obtain it after he defeats the level's boss. Upon obtaining a Triforce fragment, all of Link's [[heart]]s are restored, and he is returned back to the level entrance.

After obtaining all eight Triforce fragments, the [[old man]] in [[Spectacle Rock]] allows Link to enter [[Death Mountain]] in a final battle against Ganon.

Long ago, prior to the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'', both the Triforce of Wisdom and the [[Triforce of Courage]] were separated. Unlike the first game, the Triforce of Wisdom was only divided into two shards, one of which is held by [[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]] and the other is held by [[Tetra]] ([[Princess Zelda]]), and was passed from generation to the next in her family.

The [[King of Red Lions]] first mentions the Triforce Shards to Link after he completes the [[Tower of the Gods]]. He explains that the Triforce of Courage was divided into eight pieces when the [[Hero of Time]] left [[Hyrule]]. This caused the Triforce of Courage to split into eight fragments, which were scattered across the land.

When Link recovers all eight shards, the pieces combine and form the Triforce of Courage. He can then return down into Hyrule Castle.
