| − | The '''trident''' is one of [[Ganon]]'s weapons of choice. He is seen wielding one in {{ALTTP}}, ''[[BS The Legend of Zelda]]'', ''[[BS The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets|Ancient Stone Tablets]]'', the {{OoX}}, {{FSA}}, and {{ALBW}}. |
||
| − | |||
| − | {{FSA}} features a much stronger version, which according to ''[[Hyrule Historia]]'' has not made an appearance in another game. The trident is held in the Pyramid level, and has an inscription nearby. The inscription would mean that this trident is the exact opposite of the [[Master Sword]]. The Master Sword being the ultimate light weapon while the trident is the ultimate dark weapon.<ref name=inscription>{{cite|We grant you power to ruin the world. The power of darkness. Evil spirit of magic trident. You are the King of Darkness.|Inscription|FSA}}</ref><ref name="trident">{{cite book|quote=The Trident: An evil weapon born of darkness that slumbers within the pyramid.

Secondly when Ganon throws it, the trident leaves a trail of blue fire in its path. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Upon his revival in {{OOA}} or {{OOS}}, Ganon wields a trident once again, using it to attack in vicious swipes. He also uses the trident to summon energy balls, as do characters such as [[Phantom Ganon]]. However, these attacks cannot be deflected. |

||
| − | The trident makes its first appearance in {{ALTTP}}, where Ganon uses it in the first stage of his boss battle. He will spin it and toss it at [[Link]] while sending fire bats after him. After a certain point, Ganon will abandon this tactic and use his secret technique of Darkness in lieu of the trident.<ref>{{cite|You are doing well, lad.

| − | ===''Link's Awakening''=== |
||
| − | Although a trident-wielding Ganon does not appear in this game, the [[Shadow Nightmares|final boss]] will take Ganon's form and attack Link by throwing a trident at him in a similar fashion to how Ganon attacked in ''A Link to the Past''. |

||
| − | In ''[[BS The Legend of Zelda]]'', Ganon fights similarly to how he fought in the original {{LOZ}}, by turning invisible and shooting fireballs. As such, the trident is merely cosmetic and not actually used in combat. In ''[[BS The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets|Ancient Stone Tablets]]'', he uses it just as he does in ''A Link to the Past.'' |

| − | ===''Oracle of Ages'' and ''Oracle of Seasons''=== |
||
| − | When Ganon is revived in the {{OOA}} and {{OOS}} [[Linked Game]]s ending, he uses the trident to battle Link. He either attacks with a vicious direct swipe or a flurry of energy balls. Most of these attacks can be dodged using the [[Roc's Feather]] or [[Roc's Cape]]. |

You so-called heroes do not stand even a gnat's chance of harming me!

| − | This game's trident is often referred to as the {{Name|Trident of Power}} by fans, in order to differentiate it from the less powerful tridents featured in other games of the series. |

| − | ===''A Link Between Worlds''=== |
||
| − | When Ganon and [[Yuga]] join together, they wield a golden weapon that is a combination of Ganon's Trident, and Yuga's magical paintbrush staff. [[Yuga Ganon]] uses this {{Name|Paintbrush Trident}} in order to combat Link at the end of the game until he absorbs the Triforce of Wisdom and begins using magic instead. The Trident is infused with dark power and is also used as a throwing weapon once more, but also retains Yuga's paintbrush staffs ability to transform other beings into paintings. After Yuga Ganon is defeated the Paintbrush Trident is destroyed along with him. |

| − | In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Comic)|''A Link to the Past'' comic]], Ganon is seen wielding his trident in the final battle. At first, Ganon's trident easily overpowers [[Link]], and the young hero even gets stuck in between it, rendering him incapable of moving. After Link and Zelda defeat Ganon, Link is seen holding the trident in his hand as the [[Triforce]] asks him to make his wish. |

In {{HWL}}, the Trident appears as a Weapon for Ganondorf. Like other Weapons in ''Hyrule Warriors Legends'', it can be transferred to the original [[Wii U]] version. The Thief's Trident appears as Ganondorf's level 1 weapon while his King of Evil Trident is his level 2 and his level 3 is the Trident of [[Demise]]. |

| − | ==Theory== |
||
| − | {{Theory|start}} |
||
| − | The Trident of ''Four Swords Adventures'' may have been crafted by the [[Interlopers]], given that it shares characteristics with the Fused Shadow. Both serve as symbols of authority (one fragment of the Fused Shadow being given to the ruler of the [[Twili]], and the Trident giving its wielder the title of "King of Darkness"), and both have been shown to mutate those who touch them (the Fused Shadow fragments turning a [[Deku Baba]] into [[Diababa]], [[Darbus]] into [[Fyrus]], and an unknown aquatic creature, possibly a [[Bombfish]], into [[Morpheel]]). However, if the Trident was once an Interloper weapon, it was clearly forgotten, as neither Midna nor [[Zant]] mentions or expresses interest in it. If the Interlopers did indeed craft the Trident, it is also possible that, at least at some point, [[Ordona (Spirit)|Ordona]] watched over it, as the other [[Light Spirits]] watched over the fragments of the Fused Shadow. If so, Ordona may have played a role in the construction of the Pyramid, and may thus be linked to the [[Zuna]] tribe somehow. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Alternately, this particular Trident may be a vessel for the dark power of Ganon's first incarnation, and possibly [[Demise's Sword]]. If it is Demise's Sword, it means that [[Ghirahim]] still exists inside the wicked weapon. |
||
| − | {{Theory|end}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Trivia== |
||
| − | *According to the English translation of the Trident inscription in ''Four Swords Adventures'', the Trident houses an "evil spirit". This quote has been re-examined however, and seems to have been mistranslated.<ref name="trident"/><ref>{{cite|Evil spirit of magic trident.|Trident inscription|FSA}}</ref><ref>{{cite|{{Japanese|アンコク カラ ウミオトサレシ マ ノ ジャキ トライデント||Born from darkness, the evil tool of demons, the trident.|2}}|Trident inscription|FSA|[http://forums.legendsalliance.com/topic/14202-translation-of-japanese-game-texts/page__st__1230#entry429253 Japanese version]}}</ref> |
||
| − | *Although the trident did not appear in {{LOZ}}, official art from the time of {{ALTTP}} shows Ganon wielding it when he fought Link in that game. Ganon also wields it in the BS remake of the game, though it is merely cosmetic. |
||
| − | *When [[Midna]] attacks with the [[Fused Shadow]], she wields a similar pronged weapon. |
