'''Lorule''' is a magical kingdom that serves as one of the main settings of {{ALBW}}.The land once kept its own [[Triforce]], an inverted counterpart of the one in Hyrule. Long and brutal conflicts to get the Triforce prompted Lorule to destroy its Triforce, which crumbled the foundations of the kingdom and left it in darkness.

As a result, it became a dark mirror of [[Hyrule]], almost entirely congruous with the [[Dark World]] as featured in {{ALTTP}}. Lorule is accessed via [[Fissure|fissures]] that appeared in Hyrule, caused by the wizard [[Yuga]]. Most of Lorule's locations are isolated from each other by cliffs and large chasms. They must be reached by separate fissures found across Hyrule, which appear following a large quake.

In {{ALBW}}, Hilda, a princess of Lorule, learns of the existence of Hyrule and its Triforce.

==Theology==
There is no known theology for Lorule, but most likely Loruleans believe in godesses who created their Triforce. However, after the destruction of the Triforce, many people in Thieves' Town began worshipping monsters and wearing masks to save themselves.

The kingdom of Lorule is governed by a monarchy, of which the only known member is [[Princess Hilda]], the latest descendant of the Royal Family of Lorule. The kingdom was ruled over by the Royal Family during ancient times until they destroyed the Triforce; their fate was unknown. The Royal Family itself rules from the seat of government in the land of Lorule, Lorule Castle, just as Hilda does.

Lorule's official currency is a small jewel-like object known as the [[Rupee]]. Several color and size variations are used to denote values.

==Geography==
==Geography==
The map of Lorule was extremely similar to the one of the Dark World after the destruction of its Triforce, with a few notable changes, such as [[Lorule Castle]] standing where the [[Pyramid of Power]] stood, the [[Bomb Shop#A Link to the Past|Bomb Shop]] in the same location as the [[Vacant House]], the [[Ice Ruins]] where the [[Turtle Rock (A Link to the Past)|Turtle Rock]] was in the Dark World and the [[Turtle Rock (A Link Between Worlds)|Turtle Rock]] from Lorule where the [[Ice Palace]] dungeon was, and some other differences including part of the rivers and land turning into a dark abyss.
Lorule is extraordinarily similar to Hyrule's Dark World, although it has both its own unique features as well as locations more similar to those of the Light World than the Dark. Due to the destruction of its Triforce, the very land itself is crumbling, causing it to be marked by gigantic canyons that separate the kingdom into seven distinct regions making travel more difficult. This disintegration eventually begins to reverse with the revival of the kingdom's own Triforce.
After the revival of Lorule's Triforce, the land merged from being like the Dark World to more like Hyrule.
 
Less significantly, Lorule's {{Term|ALBW|Turtle Rock|link}} is an artificial turtle-shaped island in the middle of [[Lorule Lake]], its equivalent of [[Lake Hylia]], and its Death Mountain is a frozen hinterland topped by the [[Ice Ruins]], effectively switching the places of the Dark World's {{Term|ALttP|Turtle Rock|link}} and [[Ice Palace]]. Furthermore, Lorule more closely adheres to Hyrule in regards to its counterparts of Hyrule Castle and Link's house, which are [[Lorule Castle]] and the {{Term|ALBW|Vacant House|link}}.


==Population==
==Population==
During the era after the destruction of the Triforce, there only seem to be Loruleans. Notable Loruleans include [[Princess Hilda]], [[Ravio]], and [[Yuga]]. There is also a huge population of many different kinds of monsters. It is unknown if the monsters remained after the revival of the Lorulean Triforce.
Similar to the populace in [[Termina]], ''Loruleans'' are the humanoid, and non-humanoid, counterparts of those in Hyrule. Many Loruleans greatly resemble their Hyrulean counterparts, such as [[Ravio]] and [[Princess Hilda]], who both greatly look like their counterparts [[Link]] and [[Princess Zelda]]. They are similar in age and stature; however, the dark color scheme in Lorule alters physical features such as their hair color and eyes, as well as their clothing. Their personalities seem to differ as well, for as while many Hyruleans are considerate and welcoming, many Loruleans in contrast are rude and hostile.<ref>{{Cite|My Lorule may remind you of your home. But, in fact, our kingdoms are as different as night and day... I have welcomed you to Lorule, but my kingdom...?

With Lorule's resources becoming increasingly scarce some Loruleans resort to banditry. In addition, many begin to envy the monsters because they seem to have a happier life. For this reason, some Loruleans wear monster masks hoping to become monsters themselves.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book=E |publisher= |page=32 }}</ref>

Lorule (pronounced /ˈloʊ.ɹuːl/ LOH-rewl)[1] is the name of a kingdom that serves as one of the main settings of A Link Between Worlds.[2] It is a dark mirror of Hyrule almost entirely congruous with the Dark World as featured in A Link to the Past. Lorule is accessed via fissures that appeared in Hyrule, caused by the wizard Yuga. Most of Lorule's locations are isolated from each other by cliffs and large chasms. They must be reached by separate fissures found across Hyrule, which appear following a large quake.

Even though long ago the kingdom was nearly destroyed due to the destruction of its Triforce, at the end of the events in A Link Between Worlds the power of the Hyrulean Triforce is used to wish for the restoration of the Lorulean Triforce by Princess Zelda and Link, which brought the kingdom of Lorule back to its former glory.

History

The destruction of the Triforce

The wars over Lorule's Triforce result in its destruction

According to Princess Hilda, Lorule was once a land much like Hyrule.[3] It possessed its own version of the Sacred Realm and its own incarnation of the Triforce.[4] As was the case in Hyrule, the people of Lorule began to lust for their Triforce's limitless power. Many lives were lost as people warred over it.[5] To end the strife, Hilda's ancestors decided to destroy their Triforce rather than seal it.[6] However, without its Triforce, Lorule slowly began to crumble. As the generations went by, Lorule fell further and further into disrepair and edged closer to its doom.[7]

A Link Between Worlds

In A Link Between Worlds, Hilda, the current princess of Lorule, learns of the existence of Hyrule and its Triforce. Desperate to save her people, she conceives an elaborate plan with Yuga to steal Hyrule's Triforce, knowing it would condemn the land to Lorule's fate.[8]

Ganon is revived at the Throne Room

Yuga then successfully captures each of the Seven Sages, including Princess Zelda (keeper of the Triforce of Wisdom), and, at Hilda's command, eventually breaks the seal placed on Ganon's spirit so as to access the Triforce of Power he held. Fusing with the Demon King, Yuga fights Link until Hilda appears and uses her power to hold Yuga still so Link could escape the battle safely.

Link then rescues all the Sages from each of the dungeons in Lorule with Hilda as his guide and adquires the Triforce of Courage in order to face Yuga at Lorule Castle once more. This time, however, it is revealed that Hilda is the true mastermind behind all of this, and she orders Yuga to get Link's Triforce of Courage. Once Link manages to defeat Yuga, Hilda orders Yuga to hand over the Triforce of Power, but he then betrays Hilda and takes from her the Triforce of Wisdom she had taken from Zelda as he had no interest in saving her crumbling kingdom and would rather remake it in his image.[9] Energized by the Triforce of Power and the Triforce of Wisdom, Yuga once again battled Link in an attempt to take the Triforce of Courage from him,[10] but was ultimately defeated by the young hero wielding the Master Sword.

Lorule Castle

This released Hilda, who though shaken was ready to once again attempt to take the Triforce pieces from Link and Zelda[11], until Ravio, Link's Lorulean counterpart who had once served Princess Hilda before fleeing in cowardice, returns to talk sense into the princess and help her see that stealing Hyrule's Triforce would bring out the worst in Lorule. Finally brought to her senses, Hilda realizes her error and resolves to do the right thing alongside Ravio to return Link, Zelda, and their Triforce to their homeland, even if this meant the end of their own world. The pair took Link and Zelda to their world's version of the Sacred Realm and sent them home from there.

Once home again in their own world, Link and Zelda resolve to make a wish upon the reformed Triforce together to grant Princess Hilda and her world a parting gift. Back in Lorule's Sacred Realm, as Hilda and Ravio turn to leave and watch the dimming of their world, both are shocked and overjoyed to see their world's Triforce restored as a result of the wish Link and Zelda made upon Hyrule's Triforce, thus saving and restoring Lorule.

Governance

Princess Hilda

The kingdom of Lorule is governed by a monarchy, of which the only known member is Princess Hilda, the latest descendant of the Royal Family of Lorule. The kingdom was ruled over by the Royal Family during ancient times until they destroyed the Triforce; their fate was unknown. The Royal Family itself rules from the seat of government in the land of Lorule, Lorule Castle, just as Hilda does.

Military

Main article: Lorule Soldier

The soldiers used to guard Princess Hilda and Lorule Castle, until they got corrupted by the world's everlasting darkness. Now they guard the Dark Palace and worship the Gemesaur King. There are also soldiers at Lorule Castle, they appear in black armor.

Economy

Main article: Rupee

Lorule's official currency is a small jewel-like object known as the Rupee, which is also used in Hyrule. Several color and size variations are used to denote values. Some, such as green, blue or yellow Rupees are worth less than rarer Rupees as red, purple, orange, silver or gold. Rupees are accepted in Ravio's Shop and several other shops around Lorule, and are scattered throughout the land.

Geography

Lorule is extraordinarily similar to Hyrule's Dark World, although it has both its own unique features as well as locations more similar to those of the Light World than the Dark. Due to the destruction of its Triforce, the very land itself is crumbling, causing it to be marked by gigantic canyons that separate the kingdom into seven distinct regions making travel more difficult. This disintegration eventually begins to reverse with the revival of the kingdom's own Triforce.

Less significantly, Lorule's Turtle Rock is an artificial turtle-shaped island in the middle of Lorule Lake, its equivalent of Lake Hylia, and its Death Mountain is a frozen hinterland topped by the Ice Ruins, effectively switching the places of the Dark World's Turtle Rock and Ice Palace. Furthermore, Lorule more closely adheres to Hyrule in regards to its counterparts of Hyrule Castle and Link's house, which are Lorule Castle and the Vacant House.

Population

Similar to the populace in Termina, Loruleans are the humanoid, and non-humanoid, counterparts of those in Hyrule. Many Loruleans greatly resemble their Hyrulean counterparts, such as Ravio and Princess Hilda, who both greatly look like their counterparts Link and Princess Zelda. They are similar in age and stature; however, the dark color scheme in Lorule alters physical features such as their hair color and eyes, as well as their clothing. Their personalities seem to differ as well, for as while many Hyruleans are considerate and welcoming, many Loruleans in contrast are rude and hostile.[12] Not all Lorulean people look identical to the Hyruleans; the Milk Bar Owners, for example, bear few resemblances to one another.

With Lorule's resources becoming increasingly scarce some Loruleans resort to banditry. In addition, many begin to envy the monsters because they seem to have a happier life. For this reason, some Loruleans wear monster masks hoping to become monsters themselves.[13]

After losing its Triforce, Lorule resembles the Dark World and the people grow increasingly aggressive and grim.[14]

  • Lorule is an antonymic pun on "Hyrule." The first syllable, "Hy" (pronounced "high"), is exchanged with "Lo" (pronounced "low").
