The Power of Friendship

The Kingdom Hearts games revolve around the powerful bond of the main trio, Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Kingdom Hearts I, the game where their friendship begins, is no exception. Across the scattered worlds, you will find many symbols with three hearts joined together. These are called trinity marks; the trio can perform a special move with these once they learn the ability that matches the color of each symbol. Many useful treasures can be obtained with these abilities, and you can also unlock new locations and secrets. When you find all of the trinity symbols, you will receive the “Best Friend” achievement or trophy.

Use this guide to make this task easy!

Trinity Jump

Trinity jumps are blue marks that you will find on the ground. When activated, Sora, Donald, and Goofy will jump on the mark, and treasures will appear (and you may even be teleported to a high place)! This ability is unlocked after you defeat the Guard Armor in Traverse Town. There are 17 blue trinity symbols in the game.

Trinity Push

Yellow trinity marks give you the strength to push heavy objects around. You can move heavy boulders out of the way, or move a platform to reach a treasure chest.
