Features and Overview
Breath of the Wild
Eldin is a vast Region in northeastern Hyrule. It is split into two distinct halves. The eastern side is a largely mountainous stretch of land that consists densely of foothills, deep gorges, and volcanic activity.[6] It consists of three areas: Eldin Canyon, the Eldin Mountains, and Death Mountain. The Eldin Mountains run north of Eldin Canyon and west into northern Central Hyrule. Eldin Canyon is the largest of all these areas, covering almost the entirety of southern and eastern Eldin.
The Eldin Region initially starts off as a partially wooded and even road furthest to the south. Further to the northeast and closer to Death Mountain, the land grows increasingly perilous with harder terrain and volcanic activity, particularly beginning in the Mountain Road. As Link nears this area, the Temperature grows exceedingly hot and becomes a Scorching Climate. This causes Link and any wooden Gear equipped to catch on Fire. Link can withstand the high Temperatures by consuming Meals or Elixirs that grant Flame Guard, or by wearing any of the Flamebreaker Set, allowing him to safely travel through the hotter climate. Some areas, such as Death Mountain and the Abandoned North Mine, are even hotter and require Link to either wear at least two Flamebreaker pieces, or to wear one and consume a Flame Guard Meal. The northernmost area of Eldin is a barren, dead wasteland that sits along the ends of Hyrule. This area extends to the northwest through the Eldin Mountains.
Due to its hotter climate, eastern Eldin hosts a number of Hot Springs that will gradually recover Link's health as he Swims through them. Certain Materials will begin to burn as they are placed on the ground in the Region's volcanic areas as well. Through this, it is possible to create Roasted Foods.[7] As very few people can naturally withstand the intense heat without the aid of Food or Armor, eastern Eldin is home almost exclusively to the Goron tribe, who live in Goron City in east-central Eldin. Creatures well-adapted to the climate, such as Fireproof Lizards, Hotfeather Pigeons, and Eldin Ostriches, also inhabit the Region.
Eldin is also a major resource of Gems, which are found inside Ore Deposits,[8] and also has a high abundance of Luminous Stone Deposits.
During present events, eastern Eldin is plagued by the Divine Beast Vah Rudania. As Link enters the Region to quell Vah Rudania from Calamity Ganon's influence, he eventually meets the Gorons Bludo and Yunobo as part of the "Divine Beast Vah Rudania" Main Quest. Link and Yunobo band together to scale Death Mountain to weaken the Divine Beast, allowing Link to board it and regain control of Vah Rudania after defeating Fireblight Ganon.

Age of Imprisonment
Eldin as it was in the Era of Foundation appears in Age of Imprisonment. It is home to Death Mountain, which is considered the tallest peak in Hyrule.[9] Battles taking place in Eldin utilize Death Mountain as their Stage. The Region is also known for its intense heat, and it is home to the Gorons.[10]
When the Imprisoning War began, the Archfiend Grimgohma appeared in Eldin. While he was there, he attacked Death Mountain and summoned Moragia to inhabit its Crater.[11] As the Gorons attempt to drive out the Monsters attacking the area, Moragia hinders their efforts by raining down fiery Boulders upon them.[12] During the Scenario "The Behemoth in the Crater", the Knight Construct and Calamo defeat Moragia, making it easier for the Gorons to fight the remaining Monsters.[13]
As part of the Quest "A Sketch of Eldin", Lenalia enlists a Goron to accompany her as she travels through Eldin to produce a Sketch. Once every Quest and Challenge in the Region have been completed, Lenalia finishes her Sketch, and she learns that many Gorons still speak of Calamo and the Knight Construct's fight against Moragia.[10]

Eldin
I'd like to make a sketch of the Eldin region, but I don't think I'll be able to go there myself, given the overwhelming heat. As such, I've enlisted one of the resident Gorons to help me with my survey—so could you make sure everything is safe over there before he gets started?
With that Goron's help, I was able to finish my sketch of Eldin! To hear him tell it, everyone living on Death Mountain still spoke of the day Calamo and the Knight Construct came to their rescue against the terrible beast in the crater.

When the Blood Moon first rose over Hyrule... that demon appeared and struck at Death Mountain. It overran our home, and summoned that terrible beast to the mountain's crater.

Fiery boulders rain down ceaselessly from Death Mountain, complicating the Gorons' battle with the monsters below. Seeing this, Calamo and the mysterious construct fly to the rescue, setting their sights on the behemoth in the crater.

After a spectacular victory over the monster in the crater, the hail of boulders ceases. As the Gorons seize on this change in fortune, a messenger arrives from Raphica.
