* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': 
** ''Videogame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'': The Great Temple (the final dungeon of the game) houses the Triforce of Courage--and true to the item's name, the Temple's barrier will not open unless the entrant has placed eight jewels in the other temples as proof of their courage. The final challenge, before the person can claim the Triforce itself, is to fight [[EnemyWithout the evil within them]].
** ''Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'': The entrance to the Sacred Realm (also known as the Golden Land) where the [[CosmicKeystone Triforce]] dwells is hidden and requires four sacred objects (the Kokiri Emerald, Goron Ruby, Zora Sapphire and Ocarina of Time) that are each protected by the various nations that populate Hyrule. Only possessing all four and then playing the Song of Time in the Temple of Time will reveal the hidden entrance, but this is technically possible if the items are stolen through nefarious means. The ''final'' test, however, [[OnlyTheWorthyMayWield is pulling out the Master Sword]], which can't be touched by someone evil. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, there's nothing stopping someone evil from [[UnwittingPawn waiting for a good person to do all that]], and then step inside and enter the Sacred Realm themselves]].
** ''Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'': At the conclusion of ''Ocarina of Time'', the previous ChosenOne that wielded the Master Sword was sent back to his original time, thus breaking the cycle of reincarnation which spawns a new Chosen One. The Tower of the Gods was created to test anyone who wanted to wield the sword in the future, and it requires three pearls that embody the virtues of the goddesses themselves to unlock it.
