Triforce of Wisdom

The Triforce of Wisdom embodies the essence of the Goddess of Wisdom, Nayru, the author of law. It imparts divine wisdom upon its holder, and grants the holder untold mystical abilities, including the ability to heal others and, presumably, the ability to communicate telepathically. The Triforce of Wisdom leads its holder to make the right decisions, making them wiser than any mortal. The essence of Nayru grants Zelda, the Triforce of Wisdom's bearer, a myriad of mystical abilities as well as divine wisdom. In The Legend of Zelda, Princess Zelda splits up the Triforce of Wisdom into eight fragments and hides them throughout the land, fearing Ganon's rule after he steals the Triforce of Power. Link must reassemble the Triforce of Wisdom if he hopes to enter Death Mountain, destroy Ganon, and save Princess Zelda.

When the Triforce was split into its three aspects in Ocarina of Time, Princess Zelda was imparted with the Triforce of Wisdom. This seemingly allowed her to disguise herself as a Sheikah named Sheik until the return of the Hero of Time, The Triforce of Wisdom on the back of Sheik's hand shines before revealing her true identity as Princess Zelda. Her possession of the Triforce of Wisdom also makes her the Seventh Sage, who is destined to be the leader of them all. The Triforce's power also allows the princess to send Link back to his original time at the end of the game. In The Wind Waker, Zelda, in her disguise as Tetra, carries a part of the Triforce of Wisdom in the form of a pendant that was given to her by her mother before she passed away. It is explained by the king Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule that the Triforce of Wisdom was given to Tetra's ancestors with the task of protecting it from Ganondorf's grasp. In Twilight Princess, when Zant transformed the kingdom of Hyrule into a world covered by Twilight, the Triforce of Wisdom seemingly protects Princess Zelda from becoming a spirit in the world of Twilight, much like how Link was protected by his Triforce of Courage. Later on in the game, Princess Zelda transfers her powers to the dying Midna in order to save her, thus allowing the Twili imp to be able to withstand light.
