Template:Location
Lake Hylia is a recurring lake in the Zelda series. It has always held a dungeon in it.
Appearances
A Link to the Past
Lake Hylia in A Link to the Past is ridden with enemies such as the evil version of the Zoras. The Dark World version of Lake Hylia holds the Ice Palace.
Ocarina of Time
Lake Hylia lies southwest of Hyrule Field and holds some Gold Skulltulas, the Fishing Pond, the Marine Laboratory, both Scarecrows (at least in the past), and, of course, the Water Temple. In the past, the lake is full, but in the future it is nearly empty until Link completes the Water Temple. It is very important to the plot. Aside from Hyrule field, Lake Hylia connects to the Zora's domain (past only) and Gerudo Valley, altough the latter is inaccesible from Lake Hylia. If you fall into the river in Gerudo valley you will be transported to Lake Hylia.
The Minish Cap
Lake Hylia is one of the areas of Hyrule and houses the third dungeon of the game, the Temple of Droplets. The Temple in turn holds the water element. Stockwell's house, Major Hagen's house, David jr. and Waveblade are located here.
Twilight Princess
Twilight Princess' Lake Hylia is home to Lanaryu Spring, carnival type games, the Lake Bed Temple, and over the lake is the Great Bridge of Hylia. When Link first comes to this Lake it is mostly empty; but after he unfreezes Zora's Domain, the lake is filled again.
