The Triforce had the power to give three titles away and the peson who recieved them also recieved great powers. The titles are The Forger of Strength, The Keeper of Knowledge and The Juror of Courage. The Triforce's resting place is known as The Golden Land (or later as the Dark World). The Triforce called out to people from the outside world to search for it, hoping someone worthy of the titles would find it.
It it were merely a symbol of the gods it would be coveted by many. A verse from the Book of Mudora (a collection of Hylian legends and lore) made the Triforce even more desirable:
In a realm beyond sight,
The Sky shines gold, not blue.
There, the Triforce's might
Makes mortal dreams come true.
Many people searched for the wish-granting Triforce, but no one not even the Hylian sages, were sure of its location. The knowledge of where it was had been lost over time. Some thought the Triforce was under the desert, others thought it was in the cemetary in the shadow of Death Mountain, but no one ever found it. That yearning for the Triforce soon turned to a need for power, which led to the spilling of blood. Soon the only motive for the search of the Triforce was greed.
To protect the Triforce until someone who is worthy of it can be found, a Sage named Rauru, took it upon himself to make a safeguard to the Sacred Realm. He used few magical items, but created a large and complex seal, which could only be opened by someone worthy enough. What he built is known as the Temple of Light.
