* In Winter, snowdrifts create paths to new areas, waters freeze over to allow travel across them, and some trees lose their leaves, creating space to slip by them. | * In Winter, snowdrifts create paths to new areas, waters freeze over to allow travel across them, and some trees lose their leaves, creating space to slip by them. | ||

Of note is that these portals are not geographically synced — for example, two that are very near each other in Subrosia can connect to opposite edges of Holodrum's overworld, and vice versa. It is also possible for the two worlds to interact geographically with each other. This is shown when the sunken Temple of Seasons ends up landing at the eastern edge of Subrosia, and when an eruption of the Subrosian volcanoes at one point causes damage to the temple's ruins in Holodrum. | ||
One area of Holodrum of particular interest is the [[Natzu]] region, which lies between the country's northern mountains and central plains. The Natzu region is unique in that its exact geography changes depending on which animal companion accompanies Link in his adventure. For [[Ricky]], a kangaroo and the game's default companion, Natzu takes the form of a [[Natzu Prairie|prairie]] with many cliffs and potholes; for [[Moosh]], a winged bear, Natzu appears as a [[Natzu Wasteland|wasteland]] riddled with pits for him to glide over; and for [[Dimitri]], an aquatic [[Dodongo]], Natzu becomes a great [[Natzu River|river]] for him to swim through. | One area of Holodrum of particular interest is the [[Natzu]] region, which lies between the country's northern mountains and central plains.

The range of enemies native to Holodrum are strikingly similar to those found in Hyrule, with most weaker varieties ([[Octorok]]s, [[Peahat]]s, [[Buzz Blob]]s, [[Moblin]]s, etc.) straying close occupied areas while others, such as [[Darknut]]s and [[Lynel]]s occupy the remote reaches of the northern peaks. | The range of enemies native to Holodrum are strikingly similar to those found in Hyrule, with most weaker varieties ([[Octorok]]s, [[Peahat]]s, [[Buzz Blob]]s, [[Moblin]]s, etc.) straying close occupied areas while others, such as [[Darknut]]s and [[Lynel]]s occupy the remote reaches of the northern peaks. | ||
Among these enemies exist four [[Golden Beasts]] of note | Among these enemies exist four [[Golden Beasts]] of note — an Octorok, Moblin, Darknut, and Lynel. These monsters of a distinct golden sheen only appear during certain seasons in different parts of the land. They all have exceptionally high HP, and are kept track of by an Old Man who resides in North Horon. For locating and defeating these monsters, the Old Man rewards Link with a [[Red Ring|ring]] that increases his attack power when worn. | ||

* ''Oracle of Seasons'' was originally intended to be a remake of the first ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' for the NES. Even after intentions shifted during development, there remain many geographic similarities between Holodrum and the overworld of the first game: a southern coastline, western cemetery, northern mountains, a forest to the east, and a central lake with an island that houses the [[Gnarled Root Dungeon|first dungeon]]. | * ''Oracle of Seasons'' was originally intended to be a remake of the first ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' for the NES.

* It can be seen on the map that Samasa Desert extends some distance east of the land of Holodrum. Given the southwestern location typical of Hyrule's deserts, including [[Gerudo Desert]] and the [[Desert of Mystery]], it is possible that the two deserts eventually extend out and meet each other, and that Holodrum is located somewhere to the west of Hyrule. | * It can be seen on the map that Samasa Desert extends some distance east of the land of Holodrum.
