Google has aquired the triforce?

Someone had too much time and somehow found the Triforce symbol in the Google picture.

So what is the Triforce?

The Triforce first appears in The Legend of Zelda and is a triangular relic which is made up of three smaller triangles known as the Triforce of Wisdom, Triforce of Power and Triforce of Courage.

When united, the Triforce allows one who touches it to make a wish that lasts until they die or the wish is fulfilled. However, if the one who finds it does not possess a balance of the three virtues it represents, the pieces split into its three components and the finder is left with the one which represents the characteristic they value most; the other two pieces do likewise with two other characters "chosen by destiny".

So what does it mean that Google might have aquired it? Well we are not dead yet...
