Hidden Village

The Hidden Village is a location in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. When Link first visits the town, it is occupied by 20 Bulblins which he must kill. The only other resident of the village is an old woman named Impaz, who has a connection to Ilia.

Most of the buildings in the village are abandoned and ruined by the Bulblins, and only Impaz's house is still fit for residence. There is a Howling Stone located behind a house, and after it is saved, the village is also filled with cats and a single Cucco.

It is implied that this village is an older Kakariko Village, the ancient village of the Sheikah, mostly due to a sign saying "Welcome to Old Kakarico" in Hylian (with the misspelling likely a mistake). It is also suggested Impaz is the last remaining Sheikah in Hyrule. She may also be a descendant of the Impa the Sage, hence the name similarities. Another factor that makes it clear that Hidden Village is Ocarina of Time's Kakariko is the fact that in Link's Crossbow Training, the 'Kakariko Shootout' stage takes place in Hidden Village, and is essentially a replication of the Hidden Village Bulbin scene from Twilight Princess.
