The '''Great Plateau''' is the starting area of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. The area is a large expanse that covers various different terrains as well as being raised above the ground level of the rest of the world. It contains the [[Shrine of Resurrection]] where [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] first awakens and the [[Great Plateau Tower]]. Since the Great Plateau is surrounded by high cliffs, Link is unable to leave the area until he acquires the [[Paraglider]] from the [[Old Man]].

The Great Plateau contains the [[Shrine of Resurrection]] where [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] first awakens and the [[Great Plateau Tower]]. Since the Great Plateau is surrounded by high cliffs, Link is unable to leave the area until he acquires the [[Paraglider]] from the [[Old Man]].


As part of the second [[Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass|DLC]] ([[The Champions' Ballad]]) Link can return to the Great Plateau and to the [[Shrine of Resurrection]] where he is given [[Monk Maz Koshia]]'s [[EX The Champions' Ballad]] quest.

==Description==
===Description===
 
The northeast half of the plateau is a temperate area with various woods and ponds. It features the ruins of the [[Temple of Time (Breath of the Wild)|Temple of Time]] and its surrounding buildings, as well as traces of cobblestone pathways on its northeast area and the ruins of the [[Eastern Abbey]]. The only habitable building is the [[Old Man]]'s hut on the southeast of the lower plateau. The Temple of Time is surrounded by the inert husks of attacking [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardian]]s.

'''Note:''' These seeds represent only the seeds closest to the Great Plateau Landmark (where the word Great Plateau is written on the in-game map.) For a listing of nearby seeds, see each Landmark's page, or refer to the [[Great Plateau Tower]] page for a list of all landmarks revealed by that tower. If you're looking for a list of the 18 seeds found in the region revealed by the Great Plateau Tower (3 of which can only be accessed after you get the Paraglider), see our walkthrough page for [https://www.zeldadungeon.net/breath-of-the-wild-walkthrough/korok-seed-locations/great-plateau-korok-seed-locations Great Plateau Korok Seed Locations].

There will be a small pond on the right, with an island in the middle with a sword on top. A small promontory juts out towards the island, and if you look immediately below, you will see a ring of lilies making a perfect circle in the water. Jump from where the cliff juts out directly into that circle to get the Korok Seed.{{Korok Seed|Seed001}}{{Clear|left}}

* Aside from DLC-related quests and items, and to scavenge for resources and [[Korok Seed]]s, there's little to no necessity to return to the plateau in the base game.

* As shown by [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJg4D26QrEU this video], the Great Plateau somewhat resembles the Hyrule [[Castle Town]] from Ocarina of Time. The fountain square mostly matches up in appearance, even if it is almost entirely in ruins. When lining up the map of Castle Town with that of the Great Plateau, most landmarks will fit perfectly, such as the Temple of Time and the passageway that lead to Hyrule Castle. The archway from Ocarina of Time is there, broken, and the subsequent path to the Castle (now the [[Eastern Abbey]]) is also very similar to that which Link must take while avoiding the guards' sight in Ocarina of Time.
