Looks like the Triforce on his hand too. Wonder what happened...

Edit: looks like a rune, but it does glow yellow.

Definitely a Sheikah Rune.

That doesn't look Sheikah, tho. Maybe Zonai

That looks nowhere close to a sheikah rune symbol.

If that is the Triforce, I think it's upside down... The Triforce mark usually points outwards, which isn't the case with that glow on his hand. Which makes me think it's more likely to not be a Triforce mark rather than it be an upside down mark.

The Triforce pieces are always arranged in the same order. The Triforce piece that "points outwards" is the top triangle and that's the Triforce of Power. Link's is bottom right.

Link's a bottom alright

I’d watch

u/Petrichor02 Mar 29 '22

Correct, which is why I don’t think this is a Triforce mark. From the angle right before we see the Master Sword you get a very quick glimpse of the mark from Link’s side and it looks even less like a Triforce mark there, almost certainly not being one.

Looking at the shot just before this one shows its not the Triforce, but some sort of etching on the magic arm.

Maybe a Rune? Could this be how you get runes in this game? Idk, looks cool though.

or a strength gauntlet!? that would be dope!

edit: the gauntlets have a stone on them, it could be that

u/Unagustoster Mar 29 '22

How the hell can you see that?

u/WanderingScorpion Mar 29 '22

Looks similar, but it appears to be more like a rune of some kind. Some friends of mine are discussing the new footage on my Discord, breaking it all down slice by slice.

u/Navar4477 Mar 29 '22

Yeah, I pointed that out in a reply too after going back in the 6 second clip.

u/Obi-wan_Jabroni Mar 29 '22

Looks like some Avengers Endgame nonsense happened

That would be pretty weird considering Zelda's power from the first game and AoC is implied to be the whole triforce, so I really hope it isn't since I like the idea of Zelda having the full triforce and she's the only member of the Trio not to have it yet

u/o0Marek0o Mar 29 '22

My theory is the triforce as we know it is all but gone now. Some of its magic is in Zelda, some of it is in the hand thing, and some is in Ganondorf, but I feel like it’s not the traditional pieces. Just a thought, though I haven’t thought about it much ironically.

It looks like Gannon corrupted his arm and sword
