why other kingdoms like Termina Holodrum and Labrynna exist? why they want to separate themselves from Hyrule just like the Gerudos? could exist more towns outside of Hyrule?
I mean...why do separate kingdoms and governments in the real world exist

Separate kingdoms do exist. Unfortunately, only Hytopia exists in the same plane of existence as Hyrule.
What makes you say that? Aren’t Holodrum and Labrynna in the same world as well?
Except that source book also says that lorule somehow isn’t a parallel word and contradicts itself every few pages, so I think it saying that Holordrum and Labrynna are parallel worlds when they clearly aren’t in-game should be taken with a grain of salt.They are not. The newer source book made a point of saying they were both parallel worlds.

Exactly, lorule is a parallel world, but the Zelda encyclopedia says it isnt, it’s an unreliable source.I don't see any reason to assume Lorule isn't some parallel world. You have to pass through magical gateway things in walls to reach it and no Hylian character expresses any knowledge of them. Same goes for Holodrum and Labrynna.

Hylian characters do express knowledge of Holodrum and Labrynna though, or at the very least characters in Holodrum and Labrynna express knowledge of Hyrule. They specifically refer to Hyrule on multiple occasions, characters from Hyrule like Zelda and Impa visit the two kingdoms and are both referred to as being from Hyrule by others. Once you finish one of the games, certain characters specifically say that they’re moving to the kingdom in the other game. Holodrum and Labrynna are no less in the same world as Hyrule than New Hyrule or Hytopia is.
I don’t need to see someone on a plane from New York to France to know that they probably didn’t swim. There’s more indication of Holodrum and Labrynna being in the same world than there is alternate worlds. The only evidence inside or outside of the game that supports the alternate world theory is a single chart in ZE that also says that Lorule is in the same world as Hyrule. You can’t selectively use a source that’s already proven itself to be incredibly inaccurate.Some within Holodrum and Labrynna may express knowledge of it, but there are no physical connections between those worlds and Hyrule, nor is any method of physical transportation between them shown, nor any sort of map or region that indicates cross-cultural connections. The Zelda Encyclopedia has its inaccuracies, yes, but it feels about as inaccurate as the Legend of Zelda's internal continuity.
Seeing as it's a published source book, I would trust the information within it unless that information is explicitly contradicted by something presented within the games themselves. HE says Lorule is a physical location alongside Hyrule, but it is clearly shown in ALBW not to be, thus the game's interpretation is correct. HE says Labrynna and Holodrum are parallel worlds and the games offer no conflicting information, so HE's information is correct.

I would have to agree that the ZE has no clue what it's talking about when it comes to Lorule. The chart on page 28 shows it as being an actual kingdom, seperate from Hyrule but still in the same world. However, on page 11 it says-Exactly, lorule is a parallel world, but the Zelda encyclopedia says it isnt, it’s an unreliable source.

Even in the section above the chart they state-A Link Between Worlds: The Sorcerer Yuga (page 32), from a parallel world know as Lorule, targets the Triforce.
They literally just disproved themselves. I think perhaps what the book was going for is that Lorule is a parallel version of Hyrule, but because it is kept separate of Hyrule and they have no ties to each other, Lorule is it's own separate kingdom. It goes on to say on page 28-Additionally, Lorule is a parallel world that acts as the opposite side of Hyrule, but also has it's own separate history and Triforce.
(Makes you wonder who put the barrier up, don't it?) But the general gist is that yes, seeing as this is the inverse of Hyrule it is a "parallel world" however it does exist and is different enough to be classified as a separate entity .The more I look at this chart, the more it begins to make sense-These worlds do not ordinarily come into contact with one another, but, occasionally, some kind of trigger breaks down the barrier between them
The worlds are fully parallel, completely opposite realms from Hyrule. Even though the Sacred Realm is listed as a Kingdom within Hyrule that doesn't mean it's a place that literally exists, but that it is within the world of Light. It exists on a different plane than Hyrule but is not an inflection of it. So not parallel, just not fully there....while others can be seen as photo negatives of Hyrule, or, if Hyrule and that world were two sides of the same coin, Hyrule would face the light, while the other side would be in the shadow. They are counterparts and form a pair, with Hyrule being situated in the Light World and its parallel counterpart existing in places called the Dark World or the Twilight Realm, demonstrating their relationship to one another.
On page 11 they say-Some exist independently of Hyrule and the world that it occupies...
So perhaps the goddesses were bored and decided to create to worlds, stick Ganon and some random kid in them and see if he'd become a hero. Or perhaps they were just trying to justify the new timeline placement of Link's Awakening (which I still don't agree with) under some strange logicOracle of Seasons and Ages: A young man visiting Hyrule Castle is whisked away to realms of trials known as Holodrum and Labrynna, guided by the Triforce. He becomes a hero and stops the complete revival of Ganon.
