4chan ASCII Triforce, also known as "Newfags Can't Triforce", refers to a frequently posed challenge on 4chan for call and response threads. The threads typically feature the original poster challenging 4chan newcomers, referred to as the homophobic epithet "newfags," to create a correctly formatted ASCII Triforce, originating from The Legend Of Zelda video game, also referred to as as a Triforcii. The posters who simply copy and paste the Triforce will fail to post a correctly formatted ASCII Triforce:
how to triforce on 4chan
The origin of the meme is unknown. On January 29th, 2009, an anonymous 4chan user posted the earliest mention of the phrase "newfags can't triforce" in the /a/ imageboard. They wrote, "/b/ moves too fast. Even with that time between posts (flood detection) is still moves too fast. Make a new thread, wait 60 seconds, reload, 404. Then only thing you'll see on /b/ are; hook up threads, boxxy threads, newfags can't triforce threads and report threads."[1]
A search for "newfags can't triforce" brings up over 1,200 results on fgts.jp[2], 170 results on Desustorage[3], and 140 results on 4plebs.[4] On June 10th, 2014, YouTube user ThatOneStuff posted a video of an angry child getting angry over trying to post the Triforce. The video has since gained over 130 thousand views.
On February 19th, 2014 Reddit user DarkVoid1794 made post to the subreddit /r/4chan entitled "Newfags can't triforce" featuring an image of the antisemitic Happy Merchant meme accompanied by a Star of David made of ASCII triangles.[5] The post has since gained 516 points (88% upvoted).
/b/ is a image board on 4chan. Text on this image board is edited by an automatic system which removes all preleading spaces. This makes ascii art quite difficult to achieve. There is a trick to it using a special space char. The alt code to get this space char in windows is Alt + 255 and the alt code to get the triangle in windows is Alt + 30.
As mentioned before this does not work on 4chan anymore. So just download this zip file, extract it and copy/paste. It contains two txt files. One with Windows and one with Linux newline. Just to make sure. ?triforce.zip
The Triforce has been used as a shibboleth and a meme to embarrass newer users of the imageboard website 4chan. Experienced users write it using Unicode characters, but copying and pasting the Triforce results in the symbol becoming misaligned.[41]
As uncovered by Inverse, a leak posted on anonymous image board website 4chan allegedly contains information on the sequel to Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Although the original post has now been deleted, a transcript of the leak was copied onto Reddit. 2ff7e9595c
