And said crest has only been seen on two things, the Spirit Train, and the Spirit Tower, both of which preceded Link and Tetra's arrival in the land.

Yet the symbol is still prominently featured more than anything else in the game. At the moment, it's the best candidate for the symbol of the new land.

Wait, didn't the game say Link and Zelda's ancestors sealed the demon spirit? If so, the event couldn't have preceded Link and Tetra's arrival.

No, the intro talks of the "first settlers of the land", which are the Lokomo; the ones who seal the demon king are the "spirits". At the end of the intro, Niko says "Suddenly bereft of both demons and spirits, this land was entrusted to us".

I don't follow your logic here. If there are only two things in the game, that we know of, that feature that crest, and both of them predate Link/Tetra, why does anything suggest the Royal Family is connected to that symbol?

We don't see that symbol in Hyrule castle in any of the screenshots or video footage, and Zelda's clothes still have the traditional Hylian Crest.

The symbol was already an important part of the land before Link and Tetra arrived, and it adorns the vital building that makes the kingdom's train system possible. Additionally, the Spirit Pipes given to Tetra seem to suggest that the monarchy and the Lokomo are close. Finally, since the symbol has been seen on numerous vital things in the game, with the inverted triangle even showing up on the presumed sacred blade from the new ad, it is currently the best candidate for being the symbol of the new kingdom and land.

However, pretty much no attention has been given to that symbol so far, and people may not even recognize it as the Triforce at that time; remember, in TWW the people believed in the "Triumph Forks", and they apparently dismissed the idea of the Triforce as crazy.

I heard that beneath the big-head boulder on top of the hill here on Outset...

...is where the greatest treasures of all, the golden Triumph Forks, are buried.

But actually, fry, I must have misheard or something...

'Cause this one guy told me that what was actually buried beneath that weird rock was a chart to this shard of something called a Triforce.

Whoever heard of that? That's crazy! There's a big difference between "Triumph Forks" and "Triforce"! I mean, I think someone intentionally buried something misleading there.
