New Hyrule,[1] also known as the Nation of Hyrule,[2] is a recurring location in The Legend of Zelda series.
Features and Overview
Spirit Tracks
New Hyrule features a unique and complex railroad system that was born out of the war with the Demon King Malladus. Its most notable features are the titular Spirit Tracks that span four directions all across the land and the Tower of Spirits at the center of the kingdom.[3] These special tracks, the tower, and the four temples connected to the tower by the tracks, serve as the means as a lock, by which Malladus is kept bound in his prison deep beneath Hyrule.[4]
The re-established land of Hyrule features five realms: Forest, Snow, Ocean, Fire, and Sand.[5] Each realm is different in climate, landforms, inhabitants, and culture.

Forest Realm
The Forest Realm is located in the southwest corner of "New Hyrule" and is a heavily forested area, but also features vast plains on its eastern side. The realm is home to most of the kingdom's Hylian population, who reside in the various settlements scattered around the Forest Realm. The capital of Hyrule, Castle Town, lies in the northern extreme of the realm. Other settlements include the lumberjack town of Whittleton, Aboda Village, the Trading Post, which is the home of the Linebeck Trading Company; Rabbitland Rescue, and the Forest Sanctuary. The Forest Temple, located deep within the realm's forests, provides power to the Spirit Tracks, and through the tracks the Tower of Spirits.
Snow Realm
The Snow Realm is located in the northwest corner of the kingdom and is covered with a blanket of snow which provides a suitable habitat for the conifer forests in the realm. The Anoukis, a race that migrated to the re-established land of Hyrule from their homeland of the Isle of Frost are also found in the realm, living in the Anouki Village. The realm also holds a number of stations including the Snow Sanctuary, Bridge Worker's Home, Wellspring Station, the Snowdrift Station, and the Slippery Station. At the northern end of the realm past a vast icy plain, where the Snow Temple is found. This temple possesses the same function as the Forest Temple.
Ocean Realm
The Ocean Realm is located in the southeast part of Hyrule and is a vast large ocean, dotted with small islands and flourishing with sea life. A group of Hylians who make their living off of fish live in the small coastal village by the name of Papuchia Village. However, the citizens of the realm have been having trouble with the local gang of pirates residing at the Pirate Hideout. Other stations found in the realm include the Ocean Sanctuary and the Lost at Sea Station. Found deep within the depths of the ocean is the Ocean Temple, which powers the tracks leading to the Tower of Spirits.
Fire Realm
The Fire Realm is located in the northeastern corner of the kingdom, and comprises a large number of volcanoes, lava lakes, rocky mountains, and underground tunnels. The Gorons reside throughout the realm living in the Goron Village/Fire Sanctuary, Dark Ore Mine, and the Goron Target Range. At the top of the large mountain in the center of the Fire Realm is the Fire Temple. This temple is source of the Force Gem that powers the realm's Spirit Tracks leading to the Tower of Spirits, but it also the source of the evil causing the violent volcanic eruptions troubling the inhabitants of the realm.
Sand Realm
The Sand Realm is located in the eastern part of Hyrule, between the Ocean and Fire Realms. It is a desolate, arid region with few inhabitants other than Malgyorgs. Its only stations are the Sand Sanctuary and the Sand Temple, a fortress built to guard the sacred Bow of Light. It is home to the Three Trials, a test of the worth of anyone who wishes to possess this powerful holy weapon.

Finally, the spirits subdued the Demon King, though they could not destroy him. Their powers were greatly depleted. With their remaining power, they buried the Demon King's spirit in the ground. They built shackles to imprison him, and a tower that acted as a lock. These shackles cover the land to this day.
