triforce on oldest swords

A collection of nine swords have recently been discovered at Arslantepe, a location in the Taurus mountains. What makes these swords unique is that several of them have icons on them that resembles the Triforce from the Zelda series.

The Aslantepe swords have been dated back more than 5000 years ago in what is present day Turkey. So what do you think? Were our ancestors Zelda fans or is this just a coincidence? Let us know in the comments.

    I think it's just a really weird coincidence that the Triforce is on those swords. I mean, there's no way that all the stuff from Legend of Zelda ACTUALLY existed? Right?

  • God

    cleary, some nerds will eventually invent a time machine, and make those swords just for laughs.

    • Satan

      We now have a plan of action. Thx.

    What's with people downvoting good comments? C:
    This is very cool, though. Huh.

  • terry

    Its just a coincidence! I don't think Nintendo was the first to come up with the triforce logo.

    • youssef

      terry ,but I think your wrong Mario (the dude in the comments) is right as well as III

  • lll

    Obviously that's an early form of Master Sword!

  • Mario

    If that's an early form of the Master Sword, then… Does that mean GANONDORF somehow exists? What if he's turned to stone close to where they found these swords? And where's the REAL Master Sword?

  • Charlie

    And what if by removing those swords they are breaking the seal set upon Ganondorf!?

    • Mario

      *gasp* We have to find the Master Sword and reseal him! Quickly, before it's too late!

      • Maxx

        Yeah! Your Right hmmmm Well lets go touch the Triforce:)

        • Mario

          If we can find it.

  • Maxx

    Ganon Is Coming!!! You Idiots Broke The Seal!!!!!!!!!!

  • Maxx

    Can I Use One Of Them!? I bet 1000 dollars i could defeat Ganon!

      U LOSE, I WIN

    Nintendo didn't invent the triforce symbol. It's a family crest and can even be found on things like street signs in Japan today. I think it's possible that the family lines could be connected.

  • youssef

    possibly Miyamoto knew about in1986 when he was making the first zelda game

  • Classics Nerd

    It is pretty obvious that those are fake. Having a minor in Archaeology looking at those "triforce swords" …. the forgery is laughable at how awful it is.

  • DramaQueen99

    OMG THATS SOOO COOL!! but lets face it theres no way that the swords are related 2 zelda ( but it would be a dream come true if they where!) Lets call them master swords anyway! by the way who do u think link likes i think a mix of Zelda (duh!) and llia from twilight princess! I wish that i could go into the world of zelda but unfortantly thats impoosible! :(

    • I think that if Link does like and end up with someone at first it was Zelda because Skyward Sword portrayed it that way(being the first in the Zelda timeline) but I think that if it has to come to that he would choose Marin. (Although Zelda is not a love story as it says when danger threatens a friend(Zelda))

  • Maybe that is where Miyamoto got the idea from. I MUST CONSULT WITH HIM) But what if they are fake, or maybe the seal is broken, maybe Ganon is here to destroy everyone who roots for Link. Or maybe the Zelda stories are true they have a whole not completely filled timeline

  • We’re so dead man we broke the seal. Wait I have an idea… SACRIFACE. ( I have gone crazy ) wait I have another one… I have dibs on killing Gannon. :)

  • Falafel

    your dibs do not qualify if you are not the one true hero.

  • linksrealform

    i wanna kill him aww man

  • linksrealform

    i think they are really a type of master sword it would make sense and my doctor says im very smart and dont hilusinate

  • linksrealform

    maybe its us in the twilight we cant see link or nutin'
