Be advised that the following article contains unconfirmed, fan-made theories or speculation. To be honest, there's not much theory in this. But I thought it would be an interesting thing to talk about for today's discussion.
Kakariko Village is one of the most known areas in Zelda games. They all seem to have a typical village theme to them, not built up like Hyrule City but not weird like Kokiri Forest which have their own cultures. It's similar to what a village would look like today. It first appears in Ocarina of Time, and in this game, it has quite an interesting story.
It's just below Death Mountain, and it's quite a spooky place too, with its own graveyard. Impa, was not the founder of Kakariko Village, as she was born and raised there. This contradicts Impa's statement that her namesake founded the village. However, this is likely a minor plot inconsistency considering both the name similarity and Impaz's status as a Sheikah, along with the aforementioned sign. This seems especially likely given that no previous Impa is noted in Ocarina of Time, and that no other Kakariko Village appears in it too.
That's something, but moving on to another game Kakariko Village is in, Link to the Past. In this game it is taken place in the segment of the timeline where Link fails to defeat Ganon in Ocarina of Time. It looks the same as the Ocarina of Time Kakariko Village but it's location changed. It's about the same distance away from the Lost Woods but it's not beneath Death Mountain, but the mountain can't have moved. Perhaps things changed after Ganon ruled Hyrule.
Of course another game it appears in is Twilight Princess. It's in the segment of the timeline where Link defeats Ganon as a child in Ocarina of Time . It also has exactly the same geographical location as the one in Ocarina of Time, above the forest, below the mountain. But, for some reason the Kakariko Village looks scruffy and has taken on a wild west style, completely different to the older version. There's really no explanation why, maybe the village got poorer over the years.
The last game it appears in is Four Swords Adventures, where it takes on the style of the Ocarina of Time Kakariko Village and is in the same segment of the timeline as the one in Twilight Princess. For some reason, Kakariko Village is now in the Lost Woods, and has gone back to its original village style like in Ocarina of Time. This is something I want you clever guys to tell us about. ;-)
So yeah, post any more information, correct me and defiantly post what you think below! Thanks! Have a nice day/evening!
