Koridai (pronounced ) is an island which serves as the setting for.

Governance
The governance of Koridai is mostly unknown, as no ruling or authority figures, other than Ganon and his minions after their siege on the island, are encountered. The island's Fortress Centrum and armored base in the Militron area, however, may have been used as bases of military operation before being abandoned and subsequently conquered during Ganon's take over.

Economy
Identical to Hyrule and other lands, Koridai's official currency is the jewel-like Rupee, referred to instead as "Rubies". Unlike other lands however, the value of Rubies vary slightly differently in Koridai as their colors are swapped; red is worth one, green is worth five, and blue is worth ten. Rubies are accepted at Morshu's shop, but are also notably used to power many of the items and power-ups that are found on the island.

Geography
Unlike Hyrule with its flat lands and varied regions, Koridai appears to be a mostly mountainous island. The island features multiple mountain peaks, many of which climb high above the ocean and tower all around the island territory. The peaks make the island's landscape very hostile, with most of its regions consisting of mountain passes, caves and tunnels, and rapid waterfalls that torrent down the mountain faces, most prominently in Spearfish Falls. The island is home to volcanic activity, with a large active volcano in the island center comprising of Firestone Lake and a smaller one local to Crater Cove. To the north-west is Nortinka and the neighboring Serigon Caves, the island's frigid regions covered densely in snow and ice.

The island appears to not have any towns or villages, either as the result of the island's difficult landscape or as the result of Ganon's siege. Despite its volatile nature however, several citizens make the island their home, and mostly live in caves, igloos or in small houses scattered across the land. Several settlements do exist around around the island, however, most of these now inhabited by Ganon's minions. Small fishing settlements are found on the coastline, situated close to where Crater Cove is. Toyku Lighthouse stands in the western coast of the island. The only known shop in the island, Morshu's shop, is located in the Goronu area. The Harlequin Bazaar in the face of Harlequin is an extravagant attraction that serves as a casino. A large castle known as Fortress Centrum stands atop one of the island's peaks, but has since become overrun by monsters, its original use unknown. The Militron area is home to an armored military base. The Glutko area guards the way to the Shrine of Koridai, where the Book of Koridai is kept.

During Ganon's take over of the island, several of its regions were left in control by a few of his henchmen. This is represented by the "Faces of Evil", mountain peaks that bear angry glares in the likenesses of the minions that control them, and are likewise named after them. In the south is the face of Goronu, Harlequin's and Militron's faces in the north-east, Glutko's face in the south-west, Lupay's face in the north-west, and Ganon's own Face of Evil in the center of the island.

Population
Koridians are the populace of Koridai. They appear to be Hylians in that they are humanoid and have pointed ears characteristic to them. As the island appears to not have any towns, most Koridians are seen living in small huts or houses around the island, and others living inside caves, such as the Crone in Spearfish Falls. Ganon's minions have captured and enslaved most of the populace, leaving only a few remaining that now live in solitude.

Several generic, nameless Koridians also appear in the introduction cutscenes to Ganon's minions. They resemble men with short, orange hair. These Koridians are often met with their end, as they are shown being turned into Goriyas by Harlequin after losing all of their Rubies, "hardened with fire" and transformed into Armos by Militron, eaten alive by Glutko, and having their souls replaced and turned into Moblins by Lupay. Those turned into monsters are then sent to fight Link. Since they are not seen elsewhere in the game, it can be presumed that they have all been killed or transformed into monsters.
