A List of the Various Locations of Hyrule

There are many locations that our Heroes travel to throughout their journeys. This is a compilation of all of these important locations.

Season 1 Locations
Season 1 deals with Link and his friends' adventures as teens. It should be noted that most of these locations are destroyed in Season 2.

Kakariko Village

This is Link's home town, found to the east of Hyrule Castle Town. Lying at the base of Death Mountain, the inhabitants of this quaint village have always feared the danger of the volcano to erupt. Some even believed that the legendary dragon Volvagia would arise again. This town is said to be home to the mysterious nurse of the Royal Family, Impa. There is alsoa legend of a Temple being located in the Graveyard to the north of the Village.


Death Mountain & Death Mountain Temple of the Goddesses

The Home of the Gorons, this volcano hasmany syoties surrounding it, one of which includes a Hero slaying the evil dragon Vollvagia, saving the Gorons 500 years prior to this story.

Urius, Link's Grandfather, is keeper of a Temple in honor of the Goddesses. The story begins with the Ceremony of the Goddesses looming the next day, being hosted in this very Temple.


Hyrule Field

The large expanse in between most of the places in Hyrule.Sometimes called Hyrule Plain, this area takes days to traverse. Legend says that the Wind Spirits, the Sylph, will aid travelers in their treks, but be careful for the Hidden Grottos.


Hylia Bay, the Bayside Laboratory, & Hylia Castle Ruins

Once known as Lake Hylia, this body of water opened to the ocean almost a century ago. This area has been a favorite of the Zora, and is said to have the Temple of Water hidden in its depths. Astrius has his lab by Hylia Bay.

Hylia Bay is also home to the Bayside Laboratory of Astrius. There, many wild experiments are said to hae taken place. The exact age of this building is not known, but it is rumored that it was standing when Hylia Bay was still known as Lake Hylia.

Centuries ago, the secret sect of Hylians known as the Sheikah kept a stronghold known as Hylia Castle. It was believed that the majority f the Shiekah commited mass suicide there on a Cataclysm Eve, but there is no supporting evidence. In fact, there is no evidence to prove what happened to the Sheikah. Nevertheless, by the time the first Hero of Time walked the world, only one Sheikah remained enlisted; Impa. Now Hylia Castle is series of desolate ruins.


Hyrule Castle Town & Hyrule Castle

The Castle Town used to be located slightly more to the east, but because of superstision surrounding the Temple of Time, this area was abandoned, and a new town was formed in the west. The old Town was left to decompose, and the Temple itself was put under a magical seal; along with every other known Temple of that time.

Hyrule Castle is the same famous monument as it always has been. The Hylian Royal family has taken residence in this building for centuries. Although, there is a dark legend of this Caslte once falling under the control of Evil, and it being destroyed, but there is no evidence of this ever happening.


The Temple of Time

The resting place of the Master Sword. In this mysterious ruin of broken pillars and rose vines is where Link first meets Anthy. It is said that the Pedastal of Time is located within these broken walls, but most Legends surrounding the Temple of Time have long since been forgotten.


Lon Lon Ranch

One of the only places to go in the middle of Hyrule Field. This Farm has supplied Horses to the Royal Family for centuries, and is run by a matriarchal line of the Lon Lon women. All are known for their striking red hair and good nature, as the farm itself is known for it's excellent breed in horses, and famous Lon Lon Milk. It is customary for the women to name the best horse in every generation Epona.


Zora's Domain, Zora's River, and Zora's Fountain

The Zoras live in this expansive area in the north eastern portion of Hyrule. Even then, it is said that there are Zoran sttlements in the waters of Hylia Bay. Link and his friends traveled to Zoran territory through extensive subterranian waterways. It is said that the Zoras revered a large creature known as Jabu Jabu during the reign of King Zora Do Von XVI, but there is no sign of this creature having ever existed.


The Lost Woods & the Temple of Forest

In the final leg of the their Child Journeys, our Heroes travaled to the Lost Woods in an attempt to get to the Temple of Forest. Finally, the group found the ruins of the former Kokiri Forest. One tree house seemed to stand out to Link....

In the end, the group managed to break the seal on the Temple of Forest, and get inside to merge the physical and Siyk aspescts of the Master Sword. Link and Anthy found their way to the remains of the Deku Tree, where they shared a not together dancing. This is where Zelda's jealousy first emerged.

Here is where our Heroes experianced the apocolypse.


Season 2 Locations
In Season 2 Link has aged ten years, along with his friends. The world, however, has experianced 100 years of time, and is that much more different.


Hyrule Field

The once lively Hyrule Field is now a smoldering black surface of hardened magma. Only because of the extensive time that has passed allow some plantlife to return to the open plain. It has been observed that the closer one gets to Death Mountain, the more twisted the life becomes.


The Lost Woods & the Kokiri Forest

The home of ther eternal children, the Kokriri. This race was turned into sickly inset creatures deep within the Forest where they had moved over the years. It is said that a living wall of roots actually blocks off the Kokiri Forest from the outside world.

The Forest itself is now a mass of twisted unrecognizable plants, yet Moosh finds himself drawn to music played within.


Castle Darkrova

Darkrova's fort and base of operations. This floating Palace is not seen until the very end of the Season, where it made its way above Death Mountain. It then moved over to the Ocean as our Heroes were inside. The Fortress of Obsidian has a Dark power source, that may leave dire consequences for our Heroes.


Death Mountain, Death Mountain Crater, & Temple of Blood

Standing on the former Temple of Fire in Death Mountain Crater is the Temple of Blood. Yomil had to face the creature Zethius inside to retrieve the Talisman of Courage.

Outside the Temple is home to the Gordrills, a mutated version of Gorons with volotile drills. Yomil and Madame Moda encountered several of them in the Death Mountain Crater.


Gerudo Fortress, the Desert of Illusion & Temple of Silence

Princess Zelda had to face Twinrova and Hydrova in the Temple of Silence, standing on former Temple of Spirit. Unfortunately, Zelda failed her mission in retrieving the Talisman of Wisdom, and was influenced to kill Link. This led to her being nearly killed. In the end, the Talisman of Wisdom was retrieved, but at what cost to the Princess Zelda?

Outside the Temple is a vast desert. Draco, Link, Yomil, Anthy, and Puffy treked through the Desert of Illusion. Home to the Desert Colossus, sometimes called the Giant Evil God Statue, the Desert of Illusion proved to be a difficult area to pass. After a few days of travel from the Temple of Spirit, the group managed to see the Gerudo Fortress.


Hylia Bay & the Temple of Rain

n the future, this area is transformed into an acidic pool of death. The water's surface has hardened into a gel, while the waters below melt everything within them. Luckily the Zora survived, but mutated.
The Temple was found underwater near the former Temple of Water. Prince Draco of Hyrule, and Princess Luto of the Zora both had to face Clayaty in the Temple. Clayaty had appearently killed the intended Boss of the Temple, and shape-shifted to fool them. The Talisman of Strength was retrieved here.


The Temple of Time Ruins & the Temple of Immortality

Link met up with Truffle, Puffy, Wraith, Quasare, the Happy Mask Salesman, and Kyneto during the events surrounding the Temple of Immortality. Standing on the former Temple of Time, Link had to face a Phoenix and other such immortal creatures to retrieve the empty Body of the Book of Durak. Strangely, there is actually a colony of people who live inside the Temple of Immortality, though their exact nature is unknown.


Achaiah & the Survivor Colony

Achaiah was once entrenched into the world in an unknown sea in the world of Hyrule. After sensing the need, Achaiah was moved to Termina to help stop Palous and Majora.

Madame Moda, in show of kindness, saved what survivors of Hyrule that she could after the cataclysmic erruption of Death Mountain. Yet after all she has done she still does not have very much respect from the survivors. The Survivor Colony was left in Termina, but according to the Madame Moda this "will never have come to pass" if Link succeeds in his mission to save Hyrule.


Termina

During the course of their Journeys, Link and his friends had to travel to the alternate dimension of Termina. There the Sheikah Palous, and the Hunter Majora were laid to rest. In Termina is where the Survivor Colony is left to repopulate the desolate world after it met an untimely demise.


The Gateway of Eternity

This location is has been seen once, as Anthy floated here in solace after the eruption of Death Mountain high above the world of Hyrule. Where the "Gateway" leads is unclear, but its importance is obvious.

The Gateway of Eternity

This location has been visited by Derdekea and Darkrova on several occasions, and even Vision knows its location. The Gateway is a flat surface with a gate designed with the Triforce symbol. The area is very misty, concealing the owners of large shadows that echo calls through the silnce. It is presumed that the Gateway of Eternity is near water. Derdekea seems to have a connection with this structure.
This information is classified, and has been deleted.


Other Locations
These are locations that appear multiple times in different locations between both Seasons.


Fairy Fountains

Every Great Fairy has had a Fountain to accompany them. Somaria in Death Mountain, Raziel in Zora's Fountain, Quasare in the Temple of Immortality, Armaita in the Desert Colossus, and Nylashira in Termina. All have the characteristics of intense flames bordering a Triforce Symbol, as well as having walls seemingly made of liquid.


"The Open Field"

Though this place is not real, Link returns to this area in dreams, as as a symbol of his mind. It is just a plain field with a lone tree standing in the center.
