The Power of Gold: The Perils of Triforce Wishing
Since time immemorial, there has been talk of the Triforce and its immense wish granting power. Every schoolchild knows the famous line from the Book of Mudora: “In a realm beyond sight, the sky shines gold, not blue. There the Triforce’s might, makes mortal dreams come true.” Mudora, the philosopher and Sage, was merely using poetic language to describe the divine work here. It was not an invitation for you to go out and try to find the Triforce.
You may think that you have noble motives or that you’ll ‘change the world’ with the Triforce. But you won’t, and you can’t. For the world is not yours to change. I’m reminded of the words of an ancient princess. “Ganondorf, pitiful man. He thought he could control the power of the Gods.” You may think that you’ll be different and that your quest for power will not lead you to corruption, but it will. For know this: King Hyrule’s reign and dictates over this land are absolute and come from the Goddess herself! Any deviation from his rule is the work of evil!
If you claim the Triforce, it’s just a matter of time before you start getting a Moblin-nose and start wielding a Trident. History is rife with examples of this phenomenon. According to a recent study from the Department of Warp Transportation, Ganonic possession is the leading cause of temple-related violence. Instead of questioning how things are, worship the Goddesses instead!
But more than that, even if you were to claim the Triforce, it’s impossible to know how the Triforce will choose to grant your wish. You may wish for a snowcone and find the entire world covered in snow. You may wish conquer the world and have the Triforce transport you to world with no air! The Triforce is a great and terrible thing to toy with!
If you should find the rebellious spirit in your heart to go Triforce hunting, I recommend coming to the Sanctuary so that you can we make sure you’re not secretly controlled by a dark lord that’s been banished to another dimension.
