'''Force Gems''' appear in [[Four Swords Adventures]]. Throughout each level, found on enemies, under rocks, frozen in ice, and more. You need to collect (2000) of them. Once you have, the [[Four Sword]] will become empowered, and you can break [[Vaati]]'s [[Dark Barrier]] at the end of each level. They come like [[Rupee]]s in the game, the size of them and color determines how much you get. (Such as, getting a small Red Force Gem is more valuable than a small Green Force Gem) Often in levels, there will be an area that allows an opportunity to get many at once, mostly, these are defeating many enemies without being hit. Doing this awards combo points, which will give more Force Gems when you defeat the enemies or lose your points. Beware though, because Tingle is in the game. After you find him under a rock, he will come when you usually find a big Force Gem or many. He attempts to steal one. You can throw a rock or enemy at him, but for humor, you can throw one of your friends at him.  
==Location and Uses==
{{Plural|Series|Force Gem}} appear as {{Wp|Triangular bipyramid|triangular bipyramid}}-shaped jewels that are found in a variety of sizes and colors. Their roles greatly vary between games. They are said to be physical manifestations of the Force, the sacred power that dwells in every living being.<ref name="force">{{Cite Book|quote= The sacred power the gods gave to the world. It's the breath of life itself.|book= HH |publisher= |page= 75}}</ref><ref name="Anjean">{{Cite|As I am sure you know, happiness and gratitude create energy. Well, I am deeply grateful to both of you for all of your help. I cannot help you directly, but I can at least give you this Force Gem.|Anjean|ST}}</ref>


Force Gems return in ''[[Phantom Hourglass]]''. They are used in [[The Temple of the Ocean King]] and are an integral part of multiplayer [[Battle Mode]]. In the temple, they are used to complete a [[Triforce]] symbol in the ground that will open a door. The door usually brings the player to a checkpoint in the dungeon. [[Oshus]] explains early in the game that the Force Gems are made of [[Sand of Hours]]. These are all Gold colored. Link slows down considerably while holding one!
==={{FSA|-}}===
In {{FSA}}, the {{Plural|FSA|Links|link}} need to collect 2,000 {{Plural|FSA|Force Gem}} in a given {{Term|FSA|Level|link}} to empower the {{Term|FSA|Four Sword|link}}, which has lost its power because of {{Term|FSA|Vaati|link}}'s magic.<ref>{{Cite|However, Vaati's magic has robbed the Four Sword of its power to vanquish darkness. To return the sword to its full strength, find the source of that power: Force Gems.|Kaepora Gaebora|FSA}}</ref> Once empowered, it can break {{Term|FSA|Vaati}}'s {{Term|FSA|Dark Barrier|link}} at the end of each {{Term|FSA|Level}}.<ref>{{Cite Manual|quote=Your goal is to destroy the dark magic barrier at the end of each stage.

Refer to the Status screen to see how many Force Gems you need before the Four Sword reclaims its power to repel evil.|game= FSA|page= 19}}</ref> Often, {{Plural|FSA|Level}} will have an area that gives the {{Plural|FSA|Links}} an opportunity to get many {{Plural|FSA|Force Gem}} at once; usually, this involves defeating many {{Plural|FSA|Enemy|link}}. Doing this without taking damage awards combo points, which will cause more {{Plural|FSA|Force Gem}} to fall from the defeated the {{Plural|FSA|Enemy}}.<ref>{{Cite|Defeat multiple enemies with a single blow to get more Force Gems.|N/A|FSA}}</ref> In some cases, the {{Plural|FSA|Force Gem}} are used as currency.<ref>{{Cite|Today, my aid can be yours for a paltry sum!

The Battle mode force gems vary in size. The colors are changed during gameplay but the value of points remain the same. The larger it is, the more it is worth and heavier to carry.
{{Plural|FSA|Force Gem}} appear throughout each {{Term|FSA|Level}}, found on {{Plural|FSA|Enemy}}, under {{Plural|FSA|Rock|link}}, frozen in {{Term|FSA|Ice|link}}, and more.<ref>{{Cite Manual|quote= Force Gems can be found all over Hyrule. These gems are the source of the Four Sword's power. They appear after you defeat enemies or cut down grass and bushes.|game= FSA|page=18}}</ref> Like {{Plural|FSA|Rupee|link}} in most games in the series, their size and color determine their value.

[[File:FSA Force Soldier Sprite.png|96x112px|right|A Force Soldier]]
*Color alternating Force Gem: Its value depends on which color it is when obtained.
*[[Force Soldier]]: A large green Force Gem with a sword and legs. If Link destroys it, it will become a big green Force Gem. However, if Link does not defeat it in time and it self destructs, its value will be reduced to one Force Gem.


[[Category:Items]]
====Force Gem Thieves====
[[Category:Jewels]]
*[[Hinox]]es will shake great amounts of Force Gems from Link while he is in their grasp.
*[[Wizzrobes]] can continuously suck Force Gems from Link while dodging him at great ease and speed.
*[[Force Like]]s will suck Force Gems from Link.
*When Link takes significant damage, Force Gems will fall from him.

[[File:PH Force Gem Pedestals.png|256px|right|thumb|Link placing Force Gems on pedestals]]
In {{PH}}, {{Plural|PH|Force Gem}} are gold-colored objects found in the {{Term|PH|Temple of the Ocean King|link}}. Three of them must be placed on pedestals inside a {{Term|PH|Safe Zone|link}} in order to create a {{Term|PH|Triforce|link}} symbol that unlocks a door to the next floor. Just like with a {{Term|PH|Boss Key|link}}, carrying a {{Term|PH|Force Gem}} slows {{Term|PH|Link}} down and prevents him from attacking or defending himself.<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= PH|publisher= Prima|page=15}}</ref>
 
{{Plural|PH|Force Gem}} are used on floor B3, where each one is found inside a {{Term|PH|Treasure Chest|link}}, and on floor B12, where one {{Term|PH|Force Gem}} is carried by a {{Term|PH|Phantom|link}} that patrols the room, while the other two are found in {{Plural|PH|Treasure Chest}} that cause new {{Plural|PH|Phantom}} to appear when opened. Additionally on the latter floor, placing a {{Term|PH|Force Gem}} on its pedestal causes a {{Term|PH|Wizzrobe|link}} to spawn.
 
On floors B7 and B8, the Square, Round, and Triangle {{Plural|PH|Crystal|link}} play the same role as the {{Plural|PH|Force Gem}}, though they must all be carried to a {{Term|PH|Safe Zone}} on Floor B9. At one point in the game, {{Term|PH|Oshus|link}} explains that the {{Plural|PH|Sand of Hours|link}} are made of {{Plural|PH|Force Gem}}.<ref>{{Cite|It is said to be made of Force Gems of the great spirit, the Ocean King.|Oshus|PH}}</ref>
 
===={{Term|PH|Battle Mode}}====
The goal of {{Term|PH|Battle Mode|link}} is for each of the {{Plural|PH|Links|link}} to collect as many of the {{Plural|PH|Force Gem}} spread around the field as possible. Small {{Plural|PH|Force Gem}} are worth one point, regular-sized {{Plural|PH|Force Gem}} are worth five points, and large {{Plural|PH|Force Gem}} are worth 15 points; the larger a {{Term|PH|Force Gem}}, the heavier it is to carry. The colors of the {{Plural|PH|Force Gem}} are also changed during gameplay; carrying one into a red or blue {{Term|PH|Safe Zone}} will change its color respectively and add its value to that {{Term|PH|Links}}'s score. Neutral {{Plural|PH|Safe Zone}} will turn red or blue {{Plural|PH|Force Gem}} back to gold and subtract their values from the scores.
 
==={{ST|-}}===
[[File:Forcest1.png|right|thumb|200px|The Force Gem of the {{Term|ST|Forest Temple|link}}]]
{{Plural|ST|Force Gem}} are integral to the plot of {{ST}}. They appear above a [[Goddess Crest]]-like arch as the symbol of the {{Plural|ST|Spirit of Good|link}}, which is seen in numerous places throughout [[New Hyrule]]; notably, on the [[Spirit Engine|Engine]] of the {{Term|ST|Spirit Train|link}}, on the {{Plural|ST|Lokomo|link}}' vehicles, on the completed {{Term|ST|Rail Map|link}}, and atop the {{Term|ST|Tower of Spirits|link}}. The {{Term|ST|Shield|link}} is studded with an ornamental {{Term|ST|Force Gem}}, and the {{Term|ST|Lokomo Sword|link}} has one in its pommel. One of each pair of {{Plural|ST|Spacetime Gate|link}} is adorned with a {{Term|ST|Force Gem}} that changes from green to gold when shot with the {{Term|ST|Cannon|link}}, thereby activating that pair.
 
[[File:ST Force Gem from Anjean.png|left|thumb|256x192px|Anjean producing a Force Gem]]
When each of the {{Plural|ST|Boss|link}} of the [[Forest Temple|Forest]], [[Snow Temple|Snow]], [[Ocean Temple|Ocean]], and [[Fire Temple]]s are defeated, in their wake appears a large {{Term|ST|Force Gem}}, colored green, white, blue, and red respectively. A mechanical pedestal rises then out of the ground and the {{Term|ST|Force Gem}} lowers onto it, creating a seal that re-energizes the {{Plural|ST|Spirit Tracks (Object)|link}} leading back to the {{Term|ST|Tower of Spirits}} and restores a portion of the broken tower, strengthening the bond that imprisons the Demon King, {{Term|ST|Malladus|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|At the top of this tower is your body. The Demon King's spirit is also there. To prevent him from possessing your body, you must fortify his prison. To do this, restore the energy between the temples and this tower. In other words... Restore the tracks between here and the temples.|Anjean|ST}}</ref>
 
[[File:ST Rail Map - Force Gem from Anjean.png|right|thumb|256x192px|The Spirit Tracks created by Anjean's Force Gem]]
As {{Plural|ST|Item|link}}, gold-colored {{Plural|ST|Force Gem}} appear when {{Term|ST|Link|link}} helps certain characters.<ref>{{Cite|You plan to continue your journey by train, do you not? Then you must always go forth with people's hearts in your mind. When you make people happy, their spirits emit {{Color|ST Light Blue|energy}}. When this {{Color|ST Light Blue|energy}} builds, new tracks appear. This should be very useful for your journey.|Carben|ST}}</ref> The energy in a person's heart is said to be similar to that which powers the {{Plural|ST|Spirit Tracks (Object)}}, and when that person is very happy or grateful, their energy rises and produces a {{Term|ST|Force Gem}}, which restores yet more of the {{Plural|ST|Spirit Tracks (Object)}}.<ref>{{Cite|Here, this is for you. ...You look confused. I'll explain, {{Player Name}}. Every living being possesses an {{Color|ST Light Blue|energy}}... And this energy is similar to the energy that powers the Spirit Tracks. When a person's heart is especially happy or grateful... His energy levels become particularly strong.|Carben|ST}}</ref> These new sections of tracks create shortcuts that ease travel aboard the {{Term|ST|Spirit Train}}, and grant access to new {{Plural|ST|Station|link}}, {{Plural|ST|Rabbit|link}}, and {{Plural|ST|Spacetime Gate}}.
 
There are 21 {{Plural|ST|Force Gem}} for {{Term|ST|Link}} to collect by transporting {{Plural|ST|Passenger|link}} or {{Term|ST|Cargo|link}} from one location to another; all but three are optional. The [[Force Gem 1|first Force Gem]] is given by {{Term|ST|Carben|link}} after {{Term|ST|Link}} drives him from {{Term|ST|Papuchia Village|link}} to the {{Term|ST|Ocean Sanctuary|link}}, defending him from an onslaught of {{Plural|ST|Pirate|link}} along the way.<ref>{{Cite|{{Color|ST Light Blue|Energy}} lives in the hearts of everyone, even feeble old fellows like me... I don't express it well, but the bottom line is that I appreciate your help... Here, please take this. It belongs to you.|Carben|ST}}</ref> {{Term|ST|Force Gem 5|link}} must also be collected by driving {{Term|ST|Noko|link}} of the {{Plural|ST|Anouki|link}} to the {{Term|ST|Wellspring Station|link}}, as this allows him to make the {{Term|ST|Mega Ice|link}} that {{Term|ST|Link}} requires during his adventure. After the {{Term|ST|Fire Temple}} is completed, {{Term|ST|Anjean|link}} gives {{Term|ST|Link}} and {{Term|ST|Princess Zelda|link}} a special unnumbered {{Term|ST|Force Gem}},<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= Though this is indeed a Force Gem, it's not counted as one of the 20 you can collect to open up optional tracks. Nope, this one's special!|game= ST|publisher= Prima|page= 246}}</ref> which reveals the {{Plural|ST|Spirit Tracks (Object)}} of the {{Term|ST|Sand Realm|link}},<ref>{{Cite|This Force Gem will serve that very purpose.

Force Gems are recurring Items and Objects in The Legend of Zelda series.[1]

Location and Uses

Force Gems appear as triangular bipyramid-shaped jewels that are found in a variety of sizes and colors. Their roles greatly vary between games. They are said to be physical manifestations of the Force, the sacred power that dwells in every living being.[2][3]

Four Swords Adventures

In Four Swords Adventures, the Links need to collect 2,000 Force Gems in a given Level to empower the Four Sword, which has lost its power because of Vaati's magic.[4] Once empowered, it can break Vaati's Dark Barrier at the end of each Level.[5][6] Often, Levels will have an area that gives the Links an opportunity to get many Force Gems at once; usually, this involves defeating many Enemies. Doing this without taking damage awards combo points, which will cause more Force Gems to fall from the defeated the Enemies.[7] In some cases, the Force Gems are used as currency.[8] Sometimes, if big Force Gems are lying around, Tingle will appear and attempt to take them before Link can reach them; Link can throw things at him to deter him.[citation needed]

Force Gems appear throughout each Level, found on Enemies, under Rocks, frozen in Ice, and more.[9] Like Rupees in most games in the series, their size and color determine their value.

Small Purple 		50

Giant Purple 		3,000

Rare Force Gems

A Force Soldier
A Force Soldier
  • Color alternating Force Gem: Its value depends on which color it is when obtained.
  • Force Soldier: A large green Force Gem with a sword and legs. If Link destroys it, it will become a big green Force Gem. However, if Link does not defeat it in time and it self destructs, its value will be reduced to one Force Gem.

Force Gem Thieves

  • Hinoxes will shake great amounts of Force Gems from Link while he is in their grasp.
  • Wizzrobes can continuously suck Force Gems from Link while dodging him at great ease and speed.
  • Force Likes will suck Force Gems from Link.
  • When Link takes significant damage, Force Gems will fall from him.

Phantom Hourglass

Link placing Force Gems on pedestals

In Phantom Hourglass, Force Gems are gold-colored objects found in the Temple of the Ocean King. Three of them must be placed on pedestals inside a Safe Zone in order to create a Triforce symbol that unlocks a door to the next floor. Just like with a Boss Key, carrying a Force Gem slows Link down and prevents him from attacking or defending himself.[10]

Force Gems are used on floor B3, where each one is found inside a Treasure Chest, and on floor B12, where one Force Gem is carried by a Phantom that patrols the room, while the other two are found in Treasure Chests that cause new Phantoms to appear when opened. Additionally on the latter floor, placing a Force Gem on its pedestal causes a Wizzrobe to spawn.

On floors B7 and B8, the Square, Round, and Triangle Crystals play the same role as the Force Gems, though they must all be carried to a Safe Zone on Floor B9. At one point in the game, Oshus explains that the Sands of Hours are made of Force Gems.[11]

Battle Mode

The goal of Battle Mode is for each of the Links to collect as many of the Force Gems spread around the field as possible. Small Force Gems are worth one point, regular-sized Force Gems are worth five points, and large Force Gems are worth 15 points; the larger a Force Gem, the heavier it is to carry. The colors of the Force Gems are also changed during gameplay; carrying one into a red or blue Safe Zone will change its color respectively and add its value to that Link's score. Neutral Safe Zones will turn red or blue Force Gems back to gold and subtract their values from the scores.

Spirit Tracks

The Force Gem of the Forest Temple

Force Gems are integral to the plot of Spirit Tracks. They appear above a Goddess Crest-like arch as the symbol of the Spirits of Good, which is seen in numerous places throughout New Hyrule; notably, on the Engine of the Spirit Train, on the Lokomo' vehicles, on the completed Rail Map, and atop the Tower of Spirits. The Shield is studded with an ornamental Force Gem, and the Lokomo Sword has one in its pommel. One of each pair of Spacetime Gates is adorned with a Force Gem that changes from green to gold when shot with the Cannon, thereby activating that pair.

Anjean producing a Force Gem

When each of the Bosses of the Forest, Snow, Ocean, and Fire Temples are defeated, in their wake appears a large Force Gem, colored green, white, blue, and red respectively. A mechanical pedestal rises then out of the ground and the Force Gem lowers onto it, creating a seal that re-energizes the Spirit Tracks leading back to the Tower of Spirits and restores a portion of the broken tower, strengthening the bond that imprisons the Demon King, Malladus.[12]

The Spirit Tracks created by Anjean's Force Gem

As Items, gold-colored Force Gems appear when Link helps certain characters.[13] The energy in a person's heart is said to be similar to that which powers the Spirit Tracks, and when that person is very happy or grateful, their energy rises and produces a Force Gem, which restores yet more of the Spirit Tracks.[14] These new sections of tracks create shortcuts that ease travel aboard the Spirit Train, and grant access to new Stations, Rabbits, and Spacetime Gates.

There are 21 Force Gems for Link to collect by transporting Passengers or Cargo from one location to another; all but three are optional. The first Force Gem is given by Carben after Link drives him from Papuchia Village to the Ocean Sanctuary, defending him from an onslaught of Pirates along the way.[15] Force Gem 5 must also be collected by driving Noko of the Anouki to the Wellspring Station, as this allows him to make the Mega Ice that Link requires during his adventure. After the Fire Temple is completed, Anjean gives Link and Princess Zelda a special unnumbered Force Gem,[16] which reveals the Spirit Tracks of the Sand Realm,[17] as thanks for all they have done for the kingdom.[3]
