The '''Ordona Province''' is [[Link]]'s home at the beginning of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. The province is quite small, containing only four areas. The southernmost region is the [[Ordon Ranch]]. There, Link can ride [[Epona]] and tend the ranch, herding the goats. A little north of this is the [[Ordon Village]]. There is a fishing pond, a shop, and some houses. This is where Link gets his second [[Sword]], the [[Ordon Sword]]. North of that is [[Link's House]]. This place is not very important later on, but is vital at first. Finally, there is the [[Ordon Spring]] where the [[Light Spirit]] [[Ordona]] lives.
The '''Ordona Province''' is one of six provinces found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. This particular province serves as a home to the [[Ordonian]]s, including [[Link]] himself. The province itself is quite small in comparison to the others, containing only four main areas. On the map of [[Hyrule]], the Ordona Province can be found at the southernmost section. The main area within this section of the map is [[Ordon Village]], which is the hometown of Link. This is where he has his [[Link's House|house]] as well as friends. The Ordona Provice is connected to the southern section of the [[Faron Province]], via a [[Ordon Bridge|Bridge]].  


The Ordona Province is guarded by one of the four light spirits in Hyrule, [[Ordona]]. The general landscape of this province is grassland and forest, which bears similarities to its neighbouring province, Faron. However, as seen in [[Ordon Ranch]], the landscape seems to be mountainous closely replicating a valley.
==Story==
Other than at the very beginning of the game, there are only a few times where Link has to enter the Ordona Province. During the prologue, Link and the rest of Ordon are attacked by [[King Bulblin]] and his troops. He is dragged into Faron Province, which is now covered in [[Twilight]]; this subsequently transforms Link into a [[Wolf Link|Wolf]]. After Link escapes from the jail deep within [[Hyrule Castle]], a strange figure -- named [[Midna]] -- teleports herself and Link back to Ordon Village. The cursed Imp asks Link to retrieve the [[Ordon Sword]] and [[Ordon Shield|Shield]. These weapons are actually supposed to be for Midna,{{Ref|TP|4110|[[Midna]]}} but she decides not to use them and instead holds on to them for Link. The young hero uses these weapons once back to his normal, [[Hylian]] form.{{Ref|TP|1312|Midna}}
Link visits this area once again when he has diminished the Twilight from [[Eldin Province]]. In an attempt to climb up [[Death Mountain]] and reach the [[Goron Mines]], Link is outpowered by the Gorons. After failing and returning to [[Kakariko Village]], [[Renado]], the shaman of the village, meets with Link and tells him that the Gorons only recognize strength, thus a normal person would not be able to persuade them.{{Ref|TP|4693|[[Renado]]}}. However, he tells Link of one person he knew that was able to match the Gorons, [[Mayor Bo]].{{Ref|TP|4694|Renado}}{{Ref|TP|4695|Renado}} With this new found knowledge, Link returns to the Ordona Province and asks Bo about this matter, at which time he reveals his secret to besting the Gorons, the [[Iron Boots]]. This trip turns out to be the final mandatory one to Ordona Province in the game.
The Ordona Province is also home to one of the seven [[Hidden Skills]]. After Link has used the [[Howling Stone]] on the trail up to [[Death Mountain]], the [[Golden Wolf]] appears. This is the second Hidden Skill in the game and Link is taught the [[Hidden Skills#Shield Attack|Shield Attack]].

==Trivia==
*The [[Ordona Province]] is the most southern province in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. It is also the smallest.
*The [[Ordona Province]] is most likely named after the [[Light Spirit]] that guards it, [[Ordona]].
*According to some references in-game, the [[Ordona Province]] may be a separate province outside of [[Hyrule]] entirely.{{Ref|TP|5920|[[Shad]]}}{{Ref|TP|5921|Shad}}
*On the map of [[Hyrule]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', there is some [[Hylian Language|Hylian writing]] next to the [[Ordona Province]] that translates to "Latoan". This is because the Japanese version of ''Twilight Princess'' uses the English translation of "Latoan", which all of the other versions besides the English version use a variation of it.
