it needs to be answered know i have the same problem the triforce isn't working so i can't get the sea chart so i can get the metals please give a stop to this suffrage give us the answer..............well give me the answer............please
it doesnt work because you havn't done the courage temple yet. The courage temple is on Molida island.
well the first time its a hourglass the second time its a triforce
an hourglass or the 2nd time you go a triforce
go to the temple of the ocean king and draw a triforce instead of an hourglass and the get thenortheastern seachart
if you mean Zelda phantom hourglass you have to go back to the temple of the ocean king. if you mean Zelda wind waker you have to find triforce charts and triforce shards
if your in the temple of the ocean king, (the first time you need to use the crest) then it is an hourglass, but if you are in the temple of the ocean king the second time (and after that) you will know by then.
the triforce triangle is the symbol you have to draw on the slate/doors in the temple of the ocean king, the first time you draw on it you draw an hourglass, the second time you draw the triforce, see a picture of the triforce triangle here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/Triforce.svg/512px-Triforce.svg.png
even if you are doing it badly, you wont get it no matter what unless you have completed the Courage temple. the courage temple is located on Molida island.
the hourglass itself
Defeat Bellum in the Temple of the Ocean King.
temple of the ocean king
In Phantom Hourglass within the Temple of the Ocean King, you are required to draw two symbols on the door. The Hourglass: Draw a 'Z' then finish it off with a '\' to connect the bottom right part to the upper left. The Triforce: This one is a bit trickier, but there are two ways to draw it. Here's the one I use: Draw an 'S' with sharp angles, the middle part of the 'S' is completely horizontal. Then draw a triangle from the bottom of the 'S' going up '\' then down '/' then '_'. The '_' continues over to the right, finishing with two '\'s to complete the triforce. If you are still having trouble, see 'related links' for diagrams for the triforce.
go back in the ocean king temple
