Only Hyrule?

[r2d93]

I love Hyrule. It usuallyt has everything I ask for in an overworld, but I was thinking -
Why hasn't Nintendo ever included any other sort of Kingdoms?
I find it hard to believe that Hyrule is the only Kingdom in the entire world that exists. We don't know however because the Kingdom always seems to be walled in somehow.

This is of course excluding realms such as Termina, Koholint Island, and New Hyrule and such.

The point being, why are there never multiple Kingdoms or realms in one game? I don't like the idea of being boxed into one kingdom. Most of the tribes and races in Hyrule are (usually) peaceful towards each other, so why not have maybe a group of agressives from a bordering Kingdom attempt to invade Hyrule? Then it would vastly expand exploration and the size of the area to explore in.

That would be a fun game to play with bordering kingdoms that oppose each other. It would be even better if Link was from a third, smaller, and more peaceful kingdom. It would be awesome to have Link thrown into the war and be forced to choose a side. That would be amazing!

It would be a nice idea, but would it really fit into a Zelda game? I mean, the only game that doesn't fully follow the Zelda formula is Majora's Mask and some people hate it, while others like it.

Maybe other kingdoms were involved in the war in hyrule before OoT. That would make an amazing Zelda game.

Well, Ordona from TP wasn't part of Hyrule, then we have Labrynna and Holodrum from the oracle games.

I mean, the only game that doesn't fully follow the Zelda formula is Majora's Mask and some people hate it, while others like it.

HOW CAN YOU HATE MAJORA'S MASK?!

JK LOL, though another kingdom in Zelda would be interesting to see

Well we do know there are other kingdoms out there. In the original LoZ Link is a traveler who wanders into Hyrule. Also in Oox we see Holodrum and Labrynna which are obviously distant and separate kingdoms in Hyrule's greater world. It would be cool and interesting to see another kingdom in game next to Hyrule that we could visit. You could tie in a conflict or something of some sort. It would be pretty cool to see them tie in another kingdom somehow.

 

[LegendOfUmbreon]

it would be epic if you could explore all the worlds in 1 game

 

[DrGraveRobber]

I hope they expand beyond Hyrule next time.

 

[Honorable Hero]

Having several kingdoms would definitely be awesome.

 

[link98]

i think thats a really good idea

 

[zeldatreasure]

I think TP felt like a multi kingdom world. It was massive and going in and out of the twilight realm made it feel like you were traveling to a different world.

 

[Mrflamexd3]

The Legend of Zelda = Hyrule
Super Mario Bros = Mushroom Kingdom
Bla bla bla you get my point.

It's just what they are.

 

[Dragoncat]

I think Hyrule isnt the name of one kingdom, but the whole world. Like Earth is the name of our world. But we have different "kingdoms", China, America, etc.

I love Hyrule as much as anyone, but I'd love to see another ''world'' as well in the Zelda series at some point.
