Sacred Realm: Difference between revisions

The Sacred Realm has only ever been toured in gameplay in {{ALttP|-}}, but in this form it appears as the corrupt [[Dark World]] ruled by the demonic [[Ganon]]. The Dark World was previously the Sacred Realm that was home to the Triforce before Ganon's incursion into the realm and the subsequent theft of the Triforce, resulting in the transformation of the realm and the creation of the Dark World.<ref name=Quote18/> In this form, the Sacred Realm appeared as a twisted, distorted copy of Hyrule that was meant to serve Ganon's wish to be the ruler of the world.<ref name=Quote19/> It was filled with evil creatures, and the spirits of the realm and any who ventured into the realm henceforth suffered as they were transformed by the Triforce's magic into a shape reflecting what was in their heart, leaving them to pray for the day when a Hero would come to challenge Ganon and take back the Golden Power, the Triforce.<ref name=Quote20/> The Dark World was plagued by dark skies and the very air was as poisonous fumes. As a mirror to Hyrule, the Dark World featured several similar locales to its Light World counterparts, though they were typically inverted to reflect the darkness of the world in which they were found. For example, [[Kakariko Village]] of the Light World (Hyrule) was replaced in the Dark World (the Sacred Realm) by the [[Village of Outcasts]]. And replacing the [[Tower of Hera (A Link to the Past)|Tower of Hera]] of the Light World high atop the Dark World's version of [[Death Mountain]] sat Ganon's stronghold, [[Ganon's Tower (A Link to the Past)|Ganon's Tower]]. The Dark World eventually vanished after Link utterly defeated Ganon and took back the Triforce at the conclusion of {{ALttP|-}}, restoring the Sacred Realm to its former beauty, as it was before Ganon ever entered it.<ref name=Quote10/>
