"“I thought the principles of the Triforce, which are power, courage and wisdom... were just applicable,” explained Rhodes. “And for those who don't know, Zelda's the wise one.”"
"He continued, “Obviously, Link is the one who's got the courage, and power is Gannon. They make up the three parts of the Triforce. That's the whole deal. And I just liked the idea of thinking and leaning towards your own wisdom or what you've learned and applying it. Of being ambitious and wanting to, you know, seek or be powerful.”"
"“I also got a cease and desist from Nintendo,” explained Rhodes. “It was very kind. They were polite. They weren't coming after anybody.” Rhodes also has a Triforce tattooed on his finger. Let's hope for his sake that Nintendo doesn't come after that."
Cody Rhodes is the current WWE Undisputed Champion and has faced legal pressure from Nintendo. After adding the Triforce from The Legend of Zelda to his wrestling boots around 2013, he received a cease and desist request to remove the logo. Rhodes said he viewed the Triforce’s principles—power, courage, and wisdom—as applicable to his in-ring character. He connected Zelda to wisdom, Link to courage, and Gannon to power, and said he liked the idea of applying learned wisdom and ambition. Rhodes also has a Triforce tattooed on his finger, raising concern about further legal action.
