"Oh look," the King of Red Lions said, "the Triforce symbol!"

Link tensed, waiting for the inevitable factoid to accompany this exclamation. The boat had a knack for blurting out useless trivia that Link could care less about. It usually had something to do with the old Hyrule.

"Do you know why the Triforce symbol has wings?"

"No, but I'm sure you want to tell me," the boy replied with thinly veiled sarcasm.

Ignoring the comment, his boat did continue, "It's because, a long, long time ago-"

"Before or after the flood?"

"Before,"

"Before or after the creepy mask thing,"

"Before,"

"Before of after the Hero of Time?"

"Before, but what does it matter?"

Link held up his hands, "I'm just trying to keep everything straight, is all…"

The King of Red Lions frowned, but said nothing more.

"Anyway, as I was saying, a long, long time ago, people used to live in the sky."

Link stopped looking at his sea chart and peeked over it's edge to fix his boat with a dubious look.

If he noticed, he didn't show it.

"They rode birds, which is why the wings appear on the symbol and the Master Sword was a different sword, and then it became the Master Sword after finding some songs, or flames, and…"

Link's already skeptical look intensified and he frowned, having to interject in this ridiculous sounding story.

"Did they, in this magical land in the sky, ride unicorns across the rainbow bridge of Asgard to obtain the power of gray skull and become the highlander? There can be only one, you know."

The boat stared at him for a second.

"Are you mocking me?"

"No." Link deadpanned.

The boat swiveled his head back around and continued, "Also, there were kiwi people…"


Author's Note:

Before anyone gets insulted about me making fun of Skyward Sword(And no, I haven't played it,) do the following; Say the plot of any Zelda game, out loud, in 3 sentances or less. Trust me, they ALL sound silly when you do!

However, it did always bother me that there were wings on the Triforce symbol when birds don't appear in anything (beyond the goose inb LttP) important and there's no legends or anything. Then Skyward Sword and...TADA! I get why there's wings now :)
