Its geographical and historical situation seems to change in each game. It may have been inspired by various towns in {{TAoL}} and, in turn, may have served as the inspiration for such future towns in the series – {{Term|LA|Mabe Village|link}}, {{Term|MM|Clock Town|link}}, {{Term|OoA|Lynna City|link}}, {{Term|OoS|Horon Village|link}}, {{Term|TWW|Windfall Island|link}}, {{Term|TMC|Hyrule Town|link}}, and various minor villages.

In {{TP}}, Kakariko Village is located in the [[Eldin Province]], right below [[Death Mountain]] and just {{exp|GCN version; southwest in the Wii version|southeast}} of [[Hyrule Field]]. It has several homes, as well as a {{Term|TPHD|Bomb Shop|link}}, an [[Elde Inn|inn]], a [[sanctuary (Twilight Princess)|sanctuary]], a [[Eldin Spring|spring]], and a [[Hot Spring|hot spring]]. Moreover, a [[Kakariko Village Graveyard|graveyard]] can be found right behind the sanctuary, housing the tombstone of the [[King Zora]]. According to [[Rutela]], Kakariko Village is considered to be a "sacred place for the [[Zora]] people" since that is where they take their eternal rest.<ref>{{Cite|Kakariko Village is a sacred place for the Zora people. It is where we take our eternal rest.|Rutela|TP}}</ref> Many of the game's important plot events occur in this village and many items can be bought and found here, such as [[Bomb]]s, the [[Hawkeye]], a [[Hylian Shield]], and the [[Zora Armor]].

Link first visits Kakariko Village at the advice of the [[Old Man]] in the [[Sanctuary (A Link to the Past)|Sanctuary]], who tells him to look for [[Sahasrahla]]. However, when he arrives to Sahasrahla's house, he finds it in the care of his wife, who tells him that Sahasrahla left when he found out that [[Agahnim]] was responsible for the missing maidens and does not know where he has gone.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Well, young man, when the maidens began to disappear, the rumors began to fly. When Sahasrahla heard that the wizard might be responsible, he said, 'so it has begun...' and disappeared himself! [...] I'm sorry, but you know wise men like him... They often wander off without notice, in search of enlightenment. If you ask in the village, someone may know where he is... If I may ask, why are you looking for him?|book= ALttP (Ishinomori)|publisher= |page= 5}}</ref> After Sahasrahla's wife tells Link about legends spoken about the Master Sword, the young hero leaves Sahasrahla's house.
