Forest of Torian

The Forest of Torian is a location in Zelda's Adventure.^[1]

Features and Overview

The Forest of Torian is a large, densely wooded area that covers the northern half of central Tolemac, and makes up most of the area in that region. It is vastly covered by trees that resemble spruce. Two river streams flow through the area; one originating from the Forest of Canvula to the west, and one from the north. The two rivers eventually meet, before splitting off again into the Meadow of Skotness and towards Vendoss to the east. The Forest can be entered from the south by crossing the river from Great Wimbich, or from the village of Ubato Hills in the east.

The Forest of Torian is the largest woodland in Tolemac, and its many pathways and identical-looking trees give the Forest an almost maze-like appearance. It is most notably the location of the Shrine of Illusion, which is located in the northwest and is in the appearance of a carnival tent. To the northeast are the ruins of what appear to have been a fortress or tower. It is here that Zelda meets Sir Basil, who gives her the Broadsword Spell.

Close to the Forest's center is a Fairy Fountain housing a Fairy, which will replenish Zelda's health when approached. On the eastern side of the north river, an underground tunnel can be found. A Crystal Heart is found deep in its burrows.
