Force Gems are recurring items in the Legend of Zelda series. These small triangle-shaped gems have different purposes depending on what game is being played.

[edit] Appearances

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures

Force Gems are the equivalent of Rupees in Four Swords Adventures. As Link collects them, they restore the Four Sword's power to repel evil. When Link acquires 2,000, the Four Sword is powered to the Ultimate Four Sword. Though this is usually done cooperatively, many players fight one another for Force Gems, due to the ranking session at the end of each stage. The ranking session tallies up each player's total kills, deaths, and Force Gems and ranks players accordingly.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

In the Temple of the Ocean King, there are two rooms where Link must find three Force Gems hidden around the rooms and place them in indentations upon a pedestal, creating the shape of the Triforce. Force Gems also appear in multiplayer mode; in this mode, Link must return as many Force Gems as possible to his base while the other player controls three Phantom Guardians trying to stop him. The roles switch when either time runs out or Link is caught.
