Ordon Village
Ordon Village is a very small village to the south of Hyrule in Twilight Princess, the only game it appears in. It is located in the Ordona Province; to the south of the village lies Ordon Ranch and to the north is Ordon Spring. Ordon Village is where the Link from Twilight Princess is from, and is home to many other people, including Mayor Bo, Ilia, and Rusl. In all, this village houses 14 or 15 people, give or take.
History
In Twilight Princess, Ordon Village is the site where the prologue takes place. Link works at the local ranch, helping Fado herd goats. During the beginning of the game, Link must complete many tasks around the village, which will include a number of tutorials. His first task is to finish up herding the goats at the Ordon Ranch. He then awakens the next morning faced with a number of small tasks that he must do to obtain the Slingshot. This includes knocking down a Beehive, returning Uli's Cradle, and returning Sera's cat. Link will also get the Wooden Sword here as a gift from Rusl; however Talo will take it off Link while chasing a Monkey.
Once the prologue is complete and King Bulblin has attacked Link and the rest of Ordon Village, Link will not be able to return until he has escaped Hyrule Castle. Once Link does escape his imprisonment with the aid of Midna, he will be tasked with finding the Ordon Sword and the Ordon Shield. The Shield is located in Jaggle's House while the Sword is located in Rusl's House. Since Link is now in Wolf form, the people of Ordon will be hostile towards Link.[citation needed]
Later on in the game while having to traverse up Death Mountain, the Gorons will block Link's path. Due to Link being inferior in terms of strength he will have to return to Ordon Village at the request of Renado. Link must speak to Mayor Bo, who will challenge Link to a sumo match, with the reward being the secret to outmatching the Gorons. Once Link has beaten Mayor Bo he will gift him with the Iron Boots. After this section of the plot there is no need to come back to Ordon Village.
Trivia
- If Link goes to the area where his House is and he puts a Bomb at the edge of the map and does a Jump Strike, he would get on the ledge. On the ledge he may fall down into nothing because the ground looks normal. However, if link follows the correct path he could see some strange looking houses with no doors or windows.
- The Ordon Village is named after its guardian, the Light Spirit Ordona.
- In Ordon Village, there is a Yellow Rupee that Link can obtain by using a Cucco from one of the rooftops.
- In Ordon Village, there is a hidden Orange Rupee which is located behind Rusl's House. Link will need the Gale Boomerang to obtain it.
