The tattoo can also represent your love for Nintendo in general if you happen to be a big fan of the company and their games. Zelda is one of the two most popular Nintendo franchises, so it’s not surprising that the triforce shows up in quite a few fans’ tattoos. In these cases the triforce is just one of multiple Nintendo images in the designs.

The symbol itself is therefore an image of immense power, courage, and wisdom held by ancient beings. If these are three traits that you were lucky enough to be born with and you also happen to love Zelda, then this is probably the best tattoo that you could get. Of course, you could also aspire to have these three traits and get the tattoo for that reason as well.

Of those three meanings, courage seems to be the main one that people like to attach to their triforce tattoos. Whether you are a courageous person or you want to have the courage to go for what you want in life, the triforce tattoo can show that you aspire to do great things.

In the video game, the symbol often appears on the hand of whoever collects all three triforces, offering only the worthy and honorable a wish to be granted. In this way the tattoo could be looked at as a unique good luck charm. When people choose to use this meaning, they will usually place the tattoo in a very visible location so they can look at it whenever they want a little bit of luck getting through whatever it is they are doing.

A variety of the triforce symbol, known as the Hyrule Royal Family Wingcrest incorporates the triforce symbol with other iconography from the video game’s lore. A bird symbol is placed underneath the triforce which is cradled by the upstretched wings. It is a symbol of an ancient goddess as well as the royal line that reigns throughout the game series. For Zelda aficionados, the triforce in any form is a respectable representation of the story.
