Road

Roads appear in their rudimentary forms in nearly every Zelda game, however, they are given added significance in The Adventure of Link and. They connect the various towns and other important locations in Hyrule, as just about any roads do.

Alternative Purpose
Besides linking towns and cities together, roads, in The Adventure of Link and, act as safehavens for Link upon crossing the expanse of Hyrule Field. Staying on the beaten paths will, interestingly, keep enemies such as the Stalchildren of Ocarina of Time (only when Link is a child), and similar such enemy silhouettes from The Adventure of Link at bay. Walking aimlessly around Hyrule Field will place Link in constant danger, and only upon stepping back onto a road-like passage will the enemies keep to themselves. In The Adventure of Link, while fairies can be found all over the overworld of Hyrule, they can still be found on such paths, even when Link strays from them into the depths of the field itself.
