It is possible that browsing on social networks we have seen the emoji of the Triforce or Triforce , so now we will learn to activate this symbol on Twitter , associated with the video game saga The Legend of Zelda.
The Triforce emoji is only available on Twitter, we cannot use it in other apps such as WhatsApp or Instagram, as it is not part of the official emojis that the Japanese organization Unicode approves every year, and that all brands adopt.
The Triforce symbol has been added to Twitter as part of an advertising deal with Nintendo to promote the latest titles in The Legend of Zelda series, which include Breath of the Wild and Link’s Awakening.
What is the difference between emoticon and emoji?
Basically, when writing a tweet with certain hashtags, the triangle symbol made up of three smaller triangles will appear. Here’s an example:
Regarding the hashtags that show the Triforce emoji , there are a total of five:
- #Zelda
- #LegendOfZelda
- #LoZ
- #LinksAwakening
- #BotW
Using these hashtags in any tweet , the Triforce symbol will automatically appear on its right , if we use several, it will be activated in each of them.
The #LoZ hashtag is the acronym for “Legend of Zelda”, leaving aside the initial “The”, which we will not be able to use if we want to activate the Triforce. Regarding #BotW, it refers to Breath of the Wild, the 2017 open world game that accompanied the launch of Nintendo Switch .
The agreement between Nintendo and Twitter is limited in duration , so at some point the emoji will no longer be available. Anyway, for now the date has not been indicated, and possibly it will be a long time, since there are new Zelda games in development.
In the universe of games, the Triforce or Triforce symbolizes the strength of Din, Nayru and Farore , the goddesses of Hyrule associated with power, wisdom and courage.
In some games it is not only a symbol, but a magical artifact of great power , as in the mythical Ocarina of Time from Nintendo 64. Link, the protagonist, must find the fragments of the Triforce to save the kingdom from some threat, or avoid that they fall into the wrong hands.
In other titles the three triangles of the Triforce are associated with the main characters : the hero Link, the princess Zelda and the villain Ganondorf.
For fans of the video game saga, it has been interesting news that Twitter allows this emoji to be activated, but we must rule out that it appears on other platforms , since trademark emojis cannot be part of the official catalog.
Some have missed the version of the Triforce that represents the Royal House of Hyrule, with a bird holding it, but it was difficult to capture an emblem with so much detail in a small emoji.
If you are interested in activating the Triforce emoji, you must use one of the appropriate hashtags , but keep in mind that Twitter could disable this symbol in the future.
