The place where you recruit Mojoy, on the ground you can see the Triforce from LoZ

I don't think the TriForce shape (a triangle in a triangle) is a really big copyrighted sort of shape...I mean, if you see a Nazi Swastika or something, that'd be neat...But a triangle inside a triangle? Not the most original shape in the world...Plus, isn't it inside a circle (could be wrong)?

I used to frequent a girl who wore Triforce-shaped earrings, they looked more like some traditional symbols (from who knows where) than something taken from Zelda or Nintendo...

"Used to frequent"?
Is this a foreign phrase equivalent to "dating/seeing someone", or have I just never noticed it?
If it means what I think it does, I like it.

Yes that's what I wanted to say. If you never read it, maybe it's one of my "French-to-English" translated expressions...

It definately sounds like a "foreign-to-English" translation. I'm going to start using it.
Learning about idomatic phrases in other languages is interesting.

Actually, it's not at all surprising that the "Triforce" symbol is seen in other places. I've seen it in math textbooks, as the Sierpinski Triangle, and some quick internet research reveals the following:
The "Triforce" shape was originally a Japanese Shinto symbol. (Shinto is the native religion of the Japanese.) I have not been able to discover the significance of this shape, but I know that it appears on many temples and old homes in Japan. Zelda Universe has an article on the subject.
...
This shape is also the first step of a famous fractal called the Sierpinski Triangle.

It's not rare to see ,ust assumed copyright logos repeated. Not everything you think that was originally created really was I am guessing.
