Hateno Village is a recurring location in The Legend of Zelda series.(BotWBreath of the Wild | TotKTears of the Kingdom | HWAoCHyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity)[1][2][3]
During the Great Calamity 100 years ago, Hateno Village was the larger of only two Hylian settlements to remain.[7] Its survival is owed largely to the successful defense effort at Fort Hateno, as well as the awakening of Zelda's sealing powers on Blatchery Plain.[8][9] Following the Calamity, the Age of Burning Fields began in Hateno Village, wherein the destruction of Necluda left Hateno unable to farm.[10] Eventually, the Region was able to recover, and Hateno Village became self-sufficient.[11]Purah also founded the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab nearby, due to the source of Ancient Energy discovered on the High Ground.[12][13]
Since it is located so close to Mount Lanayru, Hateno Village has a chilly environment, and most residents wear long sleeves as a result.[14] The villagers primarily make their living through agriculture, and most Houses have either a field or a ranch of some kind.[8]Dyeing clothes is also a traditional craft of the village.[15][16] Though Hateno Village is relatively peaceful when compared to the rest of Hyrule Kingdom, travelers such as Celessa note that it feels precarious.[17][18]
Hateno Village reappears in Tears of the Kingdom. A variety of large Mushrooms decorations are now spread across the village, and many residents wear similar clothing and hats. Cece introduced the mushroom fashion to the village, making it a popular destination for fashion-inclined people across Hyrule.[30]
In the time between games, Zelda had Bolson build the Hateno School for the children of Hateno Village,[31] with Symin as the teacher.[32] She was subsequently given ownership of Link's House.[33] The children affectionately refer to her as "Ms. Zelda".[34]

↑Hateno dyeing is a tradition craft of Hateno Village. In days past, we'd use our own prepared dye ingredients. But these days, there are so many monsters about, that it's difficult for us to gather ingredients... That's why we switched to the customer bringing us the dye ingredients, and in return, we have a small service charge. — Sayge (Breath of the Wild)
