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] 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.

In Kakariko Village, a Fortune Teller will also take Force Gems as currency for a prediction, indicating how closely related to Rupees the gems are.

[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.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

A Force Gem from Spirit Tracks

When Link defeats a boss, a huge Force Gem appears, in various colors; different for each region of New Hyrule. It will restore the rest of the Spirit Tracks in that section.

In the 4-Player Battle Mode, Force Gems appear (with their original yellow design) as items that the four different Links can collect in order to win the game.
