TopicThe Triforce being split into 3 parts is fucking stupid

From the beginning, it had separate triangles for Power and Wisdom, although Courage didn't exist until AoL. In the original game, Ganon stole Power and shattered Wisdom, and Link had to reunite Wisdom so it could be used against him. In AoL, Link has to find Courage in order to save Zelda from a cursed sleep, and the other two parts aren't present.

OoT added the whole destined bearers thing, where anyone trying to claim the triforce could only do so if their heart was in balance. Otherwise, they would keep whatever they believed in most strongly, and the other two pieces would go to their respective destined bearers. OoT doesn't explicitly say that Ganon(dorf) is the destined wielder of Power, just that he stole it by grabbing the Triforce first, but no mention of any other destined bearer of Power has ever come up, and probably never will.

In the Adult Timeline (Wind Waker), Ganon still has the Triforce of Power, but the Triforce is united and disappears at the end of the game. In the Downfall Timeline, Ganon has the whole Triforce, but Zelda seals him away again despite this until he is freed during ALttP.

So if there was a destined bearer of the Triforce of Power before Ganondorf grabbed it in OoT, they would have to come up in the Child Timeline. (It is worth noting that in TP, the only Child Timeline game since MM, no mention of any of the main trio having part of the Triforce is ever made.)

There is one game where you actually do collect all three parts of the Triforce and assemble the whole thing, and that game is Skyward Sword.
