The '''Trident''' is a sacred relic that gives its wielder the ability to control the sea, or [[Atlantica]]. It is more of a spellcasting weapon then a melee weapon. [[King Triton]] is the current wielder of the Trident.

== Powers ==
Its main power is shooting a large blast of yellow energy at a certain target. Other powers it has, examples have shown, are manipulating water and changing the present state of a being. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', King Triton uses it to write his name on a contract. When wielding the Trident, [[Ursula]] uses some [[thunder]] and [[blizzard]]-type attacks during the second boss battle against her, but it is not certain that all these attacks were the power of the trident. The Trident can also grow and shrink with its user.

== Story ==
===''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''===
In ''Kingdom Hearts'', King Triton is the wielder of the trident. He uses its power to destroy [[Screwdiver]]s, which attempt to enter the castle, in one instance, and then to destroy the Crystal Trident. The Crystal Trident is actually the key to Atlantica's [[Keyhole]]. Ursula eventually steals it, and, like the movie, grows to a gigantic size. [[Sora]] and co. defeat her, and then they use the Trident as a replacement for the Crystal Trident to seal the keyhole.

There are also markers along the walls in Atlantica that point to the Palace that are in the shape of the Trident.

===''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''===
The story starts out with Sora, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] meeting Ariel as she is swimming past them carrying the Trident. She tells them to not tell anyone that they saw her. Sora and co. enter the palace and find that the Trident was stolen and that Ariel has gone missing.

Later, Sora and co. find out that Ariel stole the trident but only to help [[Flounder]] who had been lost in the surface world. Ariel was going to give it to Ursula she said that giving her the Trident was the only way to save Flounder. They all traveled to Ursula's Lair, finding that she kidnapped Flounder as a way to get the Trident, which Ariel gives over to save Flounder.

In the end, Ariel reclaims the trident and Sora suggests that she should say she found the Trident and got it back all by herself. But she says she can't do that because it was her mistake which she made to help her friend. She wants to tell the truth when she returns the Trident.

===''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''===
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the Trident only appears in scenes with Triton and the song-battle against Ursula, where she uses it as a weapon once again. During the battle, Ursula uses it to deflect Sora's attacks, and to attack Sora, Ariel and the others. At the end of the song, Sora successfully knocks the Trident out of Ursula's hands, and it lands in [[Prince Eric]]'s boat. Eric then uses it as a javelin to defeat Ursula once and for all.

==Entomology==
A trident is the royal scepter of Poseidon and Triton in Greek mythology. Both are gods of the ocean and water.
