===The Legend of Zelda===
===The Legend of Zelda===
Hyrule in ''The Legend of Zelda'' is huge, yet empty. The only people found here are the [[Old Man]] and the [[Old Woman]] in caves, and monsters who are found across the land. It is mostly made of a mountain range surrounding a forest area with a [[Graveyard (The Legend of Zelda)|Graveyard]] to the west. Caves lead to [[Item Shop|shops]], inhabited by the [[Merchant]], or dungeons.

===Ocarina of Time===
===Ocarina of Time===
''Ocarina of Time's'' Hyrule is very different from the previous three. [[Hyrule Castle]] and [[Castle Town]] are both located in the north. [[Hyrule Field]] and [[Lon Lon Ranch]] are located in the center. [[Death Mountain]], [[Zora's Domain]], [[Kokiri Forest]], and the six dungeons are all located in the east side of Hyrule. The south part of Hyrule is [[Lake Hylia]] as well as the [[Water Temple]]. The west side of Hyrule is the Gerudo Desert, along with the [[Spirit Temple]].

The south part of Hyrule is [[Lake Hylia]] as well as the [[Water Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Water Temple]]. The west side of Hyrule is the Gerudo Desert, along with the [[Spirit Temple]]. With Link's horse companion, [[Epona]], he can travel around Hyrule faster. Hyrule has many visual differences between when Link is a child and when he is an adult. When Link is a child, Hyrule is bright, the Market and Kakariko Village are full of people and open shops. Seven years later, the market is deserted with nothing left but [[ReDead]]s and all shops have been moved to Kakariko Village.  Death Mountain has a large fiery cloud around it when Link is an adult. This is different than the normal cloud around the mountain when Link is a child.


===Four Swords===
===Four Swords===
In ''Four Swords'', Hyrule only has five areas (seven in the Anniversary Edition): [[Chambers of Insight]], [[Sea of Trees]], [[Talus Cave]], [[Death Mountain]] and [[Vaati's Palace]] (the Anniversary Edition includes [[Realm of Memories]] and [[Hero's Trial]]).

===The Wind Waker===
===The Wind Waker===
The Hyrule of ''The Wind Waker'' has been flooded and most of its residents have fled to the mountains, which have now become islands. The only dry area is [[Hyrule Castle]], which is protected by the [[Golden Goddesses|Goddesses]]. Hyrule Castle houses the [[Master Sword]].

===Twilight Princess===
===Twilight Princess===
''Twilight Princess'' has probably the biggest Hyrule so far. It is divided into four main provinces. [[Ordona Province]] and [[Faron Province]] are located in the South. [[Eldin Province]] is located to the West. [[Lanayru Province]] is located in the center of the whole kingdom and [[Castle Town]] and [[Hyrule Castle]] are both located there. [[Gerudo Desert]] and [[Snowpeak]] are part of the East side.

In the latter [[Eldin Province]] is located to the east, while [[Gerudo Desert]] and [[Snowpeak]] are part of the west side. In the Wii version, Eldin is in the west, and the [[Desert Province]] and [[Peak Province]] are to the east.


===Spirit Tracks===
===Spirit Tracks===
Line 43: Line 46:

The areas include: the [[Forest Realm]] (Southwest), the [[Snow Realm]] (Northwest), the [[Ocean Realm]] (Southeast), the [[Fire Realm]] (Northeast), and the [[Sand Realm]] between the Ocean and the Fire Realms. The [[Tower of Spirits]] is located right in the center of all five areas.
