==Features and Overview==
The Light World is the setting of the vast majority of the ''Zelda'' series, first referred to by this name in {{ALttP}}. Though this term is most often used to refer to the kingdom of [[Hyrule]], it also includes countries such as [[Labrynna]], [[Holodrum]], and the regions in [[The Sky]].

The Light World was created by the [[Golden Goddesses]] [[Din (Goddess)|Din]], [[Nayru (Goddess)|Nayru]], and [[Farore (Goddess)|Farore]], and was apparently created in tandem with a parallel dimension known as the [[Sacred Realm]]. These three goddesses then shaped the world, set down the laws required to keep it going, and produced the life forms who would inhabit it. As its name suggests, it is a land that is covered in light; in {{TP}}, it is revealed that this light is at least partially derived from the blessing of four [[Spirits of Light|spirits]] that live in and protect Hyrule. This is the most notable difference between the Light World and places such as the [[Twilight Realm]] (which is covered in a perpetual veil of [[Twilight]], hence its name) and the [[Dark World]] (which corrupts nearly all those who enter it without [[Moon Pearl#A Link to the Past|protection]]).

The '''World of Light''' or [[Light World]] is a term used to describe all lands opposite of the [[Dark World]] or [[Twilight Realm]] such as [[Hyrule]], [[Holodrum]], [[Labrynna]], and other lands. As its name suggests, it is a land that basks in the light of day, as opposed to the Dark World (little light), or Twilight Realm (light similar to that of the sunset).
The Light World is populated by several peaceful races, such as [[Goron]]s, [[Zora]]s, [[Deku]] and the other various tribes, and is made up of multiple continents and regions, though Hyrule more often than not serves as the focal point of the realm.


The Light World is not to be confused with the [[Sacred Realm]] or the [[Temple of Light]].
