The Island consists of the [[Wind Fish's Egg]] set high up in [[Tal Tal Mountain Range]] surrounded by key locations such as the [[Mysterious Woods]], [[Kanalet Castle]] and [[Toronbo Shores]].<ref name="E 38"/>{{Note|Although artworks and texts depict the Island as having the Wind Fish's Egg at its center, in the game, the Egg is to the complete north of the Island, up in [[Tal Tal Mountain Range]].}} It is arranged in an array of 16 per 16 sections which can individually be consulted in the [[Atlas of Koholint Island]].<ref name="E 234"/> Scattered among those sections are {{Plural|LANS|Cave|link}}, {{Plural|LANS|Dungeon|link}} and populated areas such as [[Mabe Village|Mabe]] and [[Animal Village]].

Among the changes that {{LADX}} incorporates are the addition of the [[Color Dungeon]] which can be accessed by moving tombstones in the [[Graveyard]] in a specific pattern and the [[Camera Shop]] which can be found north of that very same Graveyard.<ref name="E 234"/>

==Trivia==

*In {{BotW}}, [[Eventide Island]] is a reference to Koholint Island. It holds the similarly named [[Koholit Rock]] and [[Toronbo Beach]].

**Upon entering the Island, [[Link]] is challenged to reach the shrine without his equipment.<ref>{{Cite|To you who has traveled to this island... I present you with a challenge. In your travels, you've relied on the equipment you've found along the way. Here, you must cast this equipment aside and face this trial with only your wits and whatever you can scavenge.|Korgu Chideh|BotW}}</ref> This might be a reference to Link washing ashore without his [[Sword]] and [[Shield]] in {{LA}}.
