Lorule is the alternate world found within A Link Between Worlds. It is represented by the upside-down Triforce in the logo. Lorule is a parallel world to Hyrule.[1] Hilda is the princess of Lorule in comparison to Zelda, princess of Hyrule. Many characters in Hyrule have counterparts in Lorule. Link travels here over the course of his journey by going through Fissures that have formed as a result of Yuga's plan.

Story

Spoiler Alert! This section describes a subject that is sensitive to plot development.

Lorule was once a beautiful country like Hyrule, protected by its own Triforce. However, the desire for the Triforce was too strong amongst the people, and Hilda's ancestors made the decision to destroy it. Though their intentions were good, the land could not prosper without their Triforce. Desperate to save her people, Hilda, princess of Lorule, joined forces with the evil Yuga to steal Hyrule's Triforce, not realizing she might bring the doom of both the lands by doing so. At the end, Hilda is convinced by Ravio to return the Triforce to Zelda. Zelda and Link then touch the Triforce and wish for Lorule's Triforce to be restored.

Trivia

  • The name Lorule is likely a play on using the opposite of Hyrule (High-rule and Low-rule).
  • Lorule features many of the characters featured in Hyrule, but with a darker personality; for example, Hilda is the counterpart to Zelda.
