Ganon's Trident...The Triforce of power? (Possible spoilers)

Seek ...you...the world?
Seek you...power?

Does your...soul...despise
Peace and... thirst for...
More?

Does you soul...cry...
For...destruction and...
Conquest?

We...grant you... power to
... ruin...the world. The
power of...darkness.

Evil... spirit of
Magic trident.

You are...the...
King of Darkness.

Above is a quote from FSA, it is the scripture written in an 'ancient language' which resides atop the great pyramid with the Trident itself.
My question is, who created this artifact of immense power and why?

In FSA we are told by a race that inhabit the desert, the Zuna that their ancestors built the Great Pyramid, but they never mention anything about the trident.

As I have spoken about in another Thread titled "Ganon the Gerudo?"
I believe that FSA sees the birth of the very first Ganon.

In the time of FSA the Gerudos are a peaceful race, not once are they referred to as thieves or black magic users.
Every 100 yrs a male Gerudo is born into their tribe who is destined to become their next ruler. For centuries their kings have lead them well but their current king, Gannondorf has shown signs of evil and a lust for more and more power.

At this stage of Hyrule's history no-one has found the triforce that has been left behind by the goddesses, therefore Gannondorf does not yet have the triforce of power.
A legend must have existed throughout Hyrule that an Artifact that would bestow the user unimaginable power existed within the Great Pyramid, for when Ganondorf's lust for power became too strong he knew exactly where to go...

Ganondorf took the trident and became the prince of darkness.

A common theory is that Ganondorf's alter ego (Ganon) is a transformation that takes place through the use of the triforce of power, yet in FSA Ganondorf transforms into Ganon without the triforce of power, he transforms under the will of the trident.

The trident and the triforce of power both show similar characteristics in that they both grant the user all the power they desire, and allow the transformation of Ganon to take place.
Could it be possible that the Trident is in fact the embodiment of the triforce of power?
Now how could this happen who could possibly have the power to do so?

One theory is that the trident was created by the Dark tribe mentioned in FSA. Some believe this 'dark tribe' to be related to the Zuna and possibly the pyramid builders they claim ancestry to, it makes perfect sense after all the trident is found in their pyramid. While the Zuna appear in no way evil-minded, one Zuna in the village tells us this:
"Do you want to know the
secret of the pyramid?

When we're young, we're
told all the legends of
the pyramid!

There are many frightening
tales about the pyramid.

They say there's an evil
force... No wait... They
say there's no evil force."

Are the Zuna being fed conflicting information about their true herritage and, 'wise' ancestors? From the looks of things they are told to tell foreigners lies to cover up something.

Questions, ideas? Please speak up!  ;D

Never played FSA? The Trident of Power is an artefact of immense evil power that Ganon takes in said game.

I think there may be some relations between the Trident of Power and the Triforce of Power, but it should be noted that the Triforce of Power isn't evil.

king of red lions

We all know nintendo recycles way too much, so why are we even questioning it. Also, to answer the The triforce isn't evil thing, somebody in one of the games said in the wrong hands the triforce could be "Evil"

Evilslayer

It can be USED for evil. The Triforce is neutral. It cannot be evil. ;)

Lemmy

I think that maybe just maybe the triforce of power became infected with evil when Ganondorf touched it and after time it cast away its evil side. This evil side then became the trident of power!  

Master Dragmire

After Ganondorf was defeated in TWW, Old Hyrule was finally cast under the sea.Perhaps by work of the godesses, the Triforce was relocated to New Hyrule.
Enter the Lightforce.
Virually identical to the Triforce in power  and yet lacking the three forms of power. Perhaps this would allow the Zuna to take some of the Lightforce and fufill the prophecy of their Dark king.

Zelda Veteran

Anything can be used for evil, but the trident was meant for evil, as stated in the scripture. I also do believe that it may be the polar opposite and natural enemy to the triforce. Where ever there is rock, there is paper, and where ever there is paper there are scissors. In other words, light and darkness will always have something over eachother, however powerful the two forces may be. Darkness may have spawned the Trident, making it a sort of Dark master sword. This is a good topic.

My real Poison team in BW2. They all have perfect natures and EV's. I went the extra distance and bred the right IV's into them. Come at me bro.
