What you said is that the triforce that he > stole is a compeller. But then I'm not sure what a "triforce" is. Well, the english translation is pretty nasty. In the mythology of the original zelda (which was touched on in Ocarina, but that's the only non-NES game that has any semblance of it) is that there are three triforces. The red triforce of power, the green triforce of wisdom and the purple triforce of courage (which is in link's heart). In Legend of Zelda, Gannon steals the Triforce of Power, Zelda breaks the Triforce of Wisdom into 8 pieces and hides them from Gannon, before she was taken by him. Link has to find the 8 pieces to get into Gannon's "fortress" and rescue Zelda and the Triforce of Power. -- Theodore Reed (rizen/bancus) -- http://surreality.us:8080/~rizen/ -~ GPG/PGP Signed/Encrypted Mail Preferred ~- -- "We were born with a curse.
