This is a list of locations found in The Legend of Zelda.
Overworld

Fairy Fountain

Fairy Fountains are the home of the Fairies, who completely restore Link's health upon his entrance of the screen.
Graveyard
- Main article: Graveyard (The Legend of Zelda)
The Graveyard consists of six screens full of graves and Ghinis. it serves as the pathway to get to the sixth dungeon, Level 6: The Dragon. the Magical Sword is found under one of the graves in the top-right screen. If a grave is pushed, it may reveal a Ghini or a hidden hole.
Hyrule
- Main article: Hyrule
The overworld section of the game is a large place, which links all the areas together. Hyrule consists of Rocky hills, woods, deserts, lakes, rivers, and quite needless to say, the sea.
Item Shop
- Main article: Item Shop
There are many shops along Links travels in which Link can obtain items. Some shops are hidden and others are caves already exposed. Link pays Rupees to the merchants in return for the item. It is important to note that some shops have cheaper prices than others.
Lost Hills
- Main article: Lost Hills
The Lost Hills at first appears to be barren, with a pathway out of it in each compass direction, and the common snail-like rocks everywhere. However, if Link tries to head in any direction other than to the left, he will end up back on the Lost Hills screen. In order for Link to acquire the fifth Triforce Shard, he must travel through the Lost Hills to find the fifth dungeon, The Lizard. In order to do so, he should head north from the Lost Hills four consecutive times, which will take him right to the dungeon.
Lost Woods
- Main article: Lost Woods
The Lost Woods are an area in the southwest of Hyrule. At first, this area seems pointless, as going in any direction leads back to the same screen. However, there is a combination of paths that'll allow Link to get through. The combination is: north, west, south, west.
Money Making Game
- Main article: Money Making Game
The Money Making Game serves as a gambling game where Link can bet ten Rupees in hope of making money. It is run by the Old Man
Potion Shop
- Main article: Potion Shop (The Legend of Zelda)
The potion shop is located just across the bridge, north of the third dungeon. The player cannot do anything here unless he obtains the letter from the old man at the North East corner of Hyrule. The player must equip the letter to the B button, and then "show" it to the old women by using the letter like an item in the old woman's face. She will allow Link to buy potions from her.
Spectacle Rock
- Main article: Spectacle Rock
Spectacle Rock is found to the far north of Hyrule, on the Death Mountain range that runs alongside the northern barrier of Hyrule. Link can Bomb the left rock formation on this screen to reveal a cave. Inside this cave is Ganon's lair, which is also the final dungeon in The Legend of Zelda, Level 9: Death Mountain. This screen is infested with many Blue and Red Lynels. These enemies are merely a distraction; they do not need to kill or interacted with at all to gain admittance to Ganon's lair.
Starting Screen
- Main article: Starting Screen
The Starting Screen is the first screen Link sees when they turn on the game. There is nothing much on this screen except for a cave, inside of which Link can collect the original Sword from the Old Man. Link spawns here if he dies in the overworld.
