==''Ocarina of Time''==

Hyrule in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' is very different from the previous three. [[Hyrule Castle]] and [[Castle Town|Hyrule Castle Town]] are both located in the north. [[Hyrule Field]] and [[Lon Lon Ranch]] are located in the center. [[Death Mountain]], [[Zora's Domain]], [[Kokiri Forest]], and the six dungeons are all located in the east side of Hyrule. The south part of Hyrule is [[Lake Hylia (Ocarina of Time)|Lake Hylia]] as well as the [[Water Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Water Temple]]. The west side of Hyrule is the Gerudo Desert, along with the [[Spirit Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Spirit Temple]]. With Link's horse companion, [[Epona]], he can travel around Hyrule faster. Hyrule has many visual differences between when Link is a child and when he is an adult. When Link is a child, Hyrule is bright, the Market and Kakariko Village are full of people and open shops. Seven years later, the market is deserted with nothing left but [[ReDead]]s and all shops have been moved to Kakariko Village. Death Mountain has a large fiery cloud around it when Link is an adult. This is different than the normal cloud around the mountain when Link is a child.
