Hyrule/Appearances by Game: Difference between revisions

Hyrule in {{OoA}} and {{OoS}} also plays only a minor role in the overarching storyline. The kingdom appears to be at peace, because [[Ganon]] was vanquished sometime in the past and the complete [[Triforce]] is safe in [[Hyrule Castle]]. When Link touches the Triforce, he receives a mark on his hand that signifies that he is the chosen hero of Hyrule.<ref name=DinTriforce>{{Cite|It has a ^ on it. That is a sacred mark in Hyrule. If it's the true symbol, then you are a hero with a special fate, Link.|Din (Oracle)|OoS}}</ref> As the two games open, Link is shown riding a horse along a coastline (revealing that this version of Hyrule also has an ocean that borders it), and Hyrule Castle is shown from a distance when Link stops to take in the view and hears the Triforce's call from within the castle. These brief scenes are the only times gamers see Hyrule in the two games, and only one room is shown within Hyrule Castle, the room where the Triforce is kept. It is also revealed that, unlike in Termina, Hyrule is known to members of the two new lands visited by Link within the games. Nayru reveals that she knows that Link and Impa are messengers of Hyrule <ref>{{Cite|Thank you. You've come all the way from Hyrule, correct? Pleased to meet you. I am Nayru.|Nayru (Oracle)|OoA}}</ref> and Din is able to identify the Triforce mark on the back of Link's hand.<ref name=DinTriforce/> This indicates that both [[Holodrum]] and [[Labrynna]] are different countries in the same universe as Hyrule, and not parallel dimensions like Termina.
