How To Triforce On 4chan
Niki Wienberg
/b/ is a image board on 4chan. Text on this image board is edited by an automatic system which removes all preleading spaces. This makes ascii art quite difficult to achieve. There is a trick to it using a special space char. The alt code to get this space char in windows is Alt + 255 and the alt code to get the triangle in windows is Alt + 30.
How do you triforce on 4chan in ubuntu???The regular ctrl+shift+ua0 or u00a0 dont work as invisible characters on 4chan. On windows i would use alt+0195 if i remember correctly, but i cant figure out how to do it on ubuntu. Many thanks.
As mentioned before this does not work on 4chan anymore. So just download this zip file, extract it and copy/paste. It contains two txt files. One with Windows and one with Linux newline. Just to make sure. ?

4chan ASCII Triforce refers to a frequently posed challenge on 4chan for call and response threads. The threads typically feature the original poster challenging 4chan newcomers to create a correctly formatted ASCII Triforce, originating from The Legend Of Zelda video game, also referred to as as a Triforcii. The posters who simply copy and paste the Triforce will fail to post a correctly formatted ASCII Triforce:
The origin of the meme is unknown. On January 29th, 2009, an anonymous 4chan user posted the earliest mention of the phrase "newfags can't triforce" in the /a/ imageboard. They wrote, "/b/ moves too fast. Even with that time between posts (flood detection) is still moves too fast. Make a new thread, wait 60 seconds, reload, 404. Then only thing you'll see on /b/ are; hook up threads, boxxy threads, newfags can't triforce threads and report threads."[1]
A search for "newfags can't triforce" brings up over 1,200 results on fgts.jp[2], 170 results on Desustorage[3], and 140 results on 4plebs.[4] On June 10th, 2014, YouTube user ThatOneStuff posted a video of an angry child getting angry over trying to post the Triforce. The video has since gained over 130 thousand views.
Naturally, I went on another computer, found the same thread, and asked the people at 4chan for advice again. They told me to put a Windows disk into the computer, reset it, and keep pressing F8 until it gives me an option to boot from disk.
The Triforce (Japanese: トライフォース, Hepburn: Toraifōsu) is a fictional artifact and icon of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda video game franchise. It first appeared in the original The Legend of Zelda video game (1986) and has appeared in every subsequent game in the series. It consists of three equilateral triangles that are joined to form a large equilateral triangle. In the fictional history of the series, it represents the essence of the Golden Goddesses named Din, Nayru and Farore who create Hyrule. Imbued with divine power, it is capable of granting any wish to anyone who possesses it.
The three pieces of the Triforce are in the possession of the three main characters of the series, Ganon, Zelda and Link, who each embody one of its virtues: Power, Wisdom and Courage. The Triforce has frequently been the main objective in the series, requiring the player to search for its shards and protect it from Ganon, who seeks its power for evil purposes.
The Triforce is a central motif of The Legend of Zelda series, frequently appearing in Zelda iconography and merchandise. It has appeared in related media, including manga, video games and an animated television series. Due to its prominence and significance within the mythology of the Zelda series, the Triforce has become a widely recognisable symbol in gaming.
Although the Triforce has become associated with The Legend of Zelda series, an identical symbol originated nearly 1,000 years before in medieval Japan. The symbol takes historical reference from the Hōjō clan, a family that took control of Japan in the 13th century. Its emblem (mon) was the mitsuuroko, or "three scales". The symbol also appears frequently in contemporary Japanese culture. It appears on the logos for large and small businesses and can be found on temples and family memorials. Since the release of The Legend of Zelda video game in 1986, the Triforce has become a recognisable icon of The Legend of Zelda series, appearing in every game in some form, particularly as part of the heraldry of the Kingdom of Hyrule.[1]
Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of The Legend of Zelda series, explained his vision for the first game in an interview with Gamekult. He said that the Triforce fragments were originally supposed to be electronic chips, as the game was intended to be set in both the past and the future. This early futuristic concept was abandoned and replaced by a heroic fantasy.[2] In The Legend of Zelda video game, the Triforce was simply described as magical triangles of great power, but its significance was expanded in subsequent games. The first game established it as an object of desire and a central plot device that binds the three characters. Initially comprising two pieces, the third piece, the Triforce of Courage, was introduced in Zelda II: The Adventure Of Link.[3]
The Triforce consists of three equilateral triangles that are joined to create a large equilateral triangle. Its design resembles the Sierpiński triangle. The three pieces are the Triforce of Power, the Triforce of Wisdom, and the Triforce of Courage, which represent the qualities of the Golden Goddesses who create the land of Hyrule, named Din, the Goddess of Power; Nayru, the Goddess of Wisdom; and Farore, the Goddess of Courage. In the creation myth of the series, they create the Triforce and entrust it to the Goddess Hylia. As a divine relic infused with the power of the goddesses, the Triforce is an object of limitless power, capable of granting any wish to anyone who touches it. Its place of origin is known as the Sacred Realm.[4]
The Triforce can only be wielded by someone who possesses a balance of the three virtues in their heart: Power, Wisdom and Courage. Conversely, if held by someone with an imbalanced heart, it splits into three pieces, with each piece bestowed on a person who represents that quality.[5] The three virtues of the Triforce are distributed amongst the three main characters in the series respectively, Ganon, Princess Zelda and Link.[1] In some Zelda games, it manifests as a symbol on the hand of the bearer of one of the pieces.[6] The trinity within the Triforce creates a moral balance, with evil seeking Power, and Wisdom and Courage being the opposing forces for good.[7] A recurring theme of the series is Ganon's plan to steal the Triforce from the Sacred Realm in order to use its power to conquer Hyrule, which is ultimately thwarted by Link and Zelda. This places the three characters in an endless battle that is repeated across the fictional timeline within a reincarnation cycle.[8]
The Triforce is a common symbol found in the series. It is connected with the Royal Family of Hyrule and displayed as part of the Hyrule Royal Family's signature crest, which combines the Triforce with a fictional bird called a Crimson Loftwing. It is also found on various objects within the games such as the Master Sword and the Hylian Shield[9][10] and on sacred sites, such as the Temple of Time.[11]
In 1986, the original The Legend of Zelda video game introduced the Triforce, which consisted of two pieces, as a central plot device. It involves the hero, Link, embarking on a quest to save Hyrule from the evil Ganon, who has stolen the Triforce of Power. After Princess Zelda splits the Triforce of Wisdom into eight fragments and scatters them across the land, Link must search for the fragments and reassemble them to rescue Princess Zelda and defeat Ganon.[12]
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (1987) established the Triforce of Courage as the third piece of the Triforce.[13] The game's instruction manual tells the backstory of Princess Zelda being placed in a magical sleep by a wizard and sets Link's fate as the hero who will wake her by marking the back of his hand with the Triforce.[14] The story involves Link obtaining six crystals and then claiming the Triforce of Courage from the Great Palace. Using the three pieces of the Triforce, he is able to awaken sleeping Zelda from her curse.[15]
The third game in the series titled A Link to the Past (1991) introduces a detailed fictional lore for the Triforce. In Japan, it was released with the title Triforce of the Gods.[16] The game's instruction booklet provides the creation myth explaining how three Golden Goddesses named Din, Nayru, and Farore descended to create the land of Hyrule and then created the Triforce and imbued it with the essence of their power.[4] In the game's backstory, Ganon enters the Sacred Realm to steal the Triforce and plunges it into darkness, creating the Dark World.[8] To prevent Ganon from escaping and destroying the Light World, Link saves Zelda and the Sages. In the final scenes, he uses the Triforce to wish for the characters in the game to be restored.[17]
Ganon, in his humanoid form of Ganondorf, again pursues his goal of obtaining the Triforce in Ocarina of Time (1998). Ganondorf manages to gain entry to the Sacred Realm and takes over Hyrule, plunging it into chaos. After a seven-year sleep, Link awakens as an adult and sets off to protect the Triforce from Ganondorf by travelling back and forth in time. With the help of Seven Sages, he successfully defeats Ganondorf by sealing him in the Sacred Realm.[15] The game established the trinity of the characters each embodying one of the virtues of the Triforce.[18]
When the game duo titled The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages (2001) were conceived, they were originally intended to be a trilogy, with each story centred on one of the three virtues of the Triforce.[19] In each game the Triforce initiates the adventure by summoning Link and transporting him to the worlds of Holodrum and Labrynna to collect eight Essences of Nature or Time in order to defeat the games' villains, Onox and Veran.[15]
