==''Twilight Princess''==

[[File:Hyrule TP Map.png|thumb|200px|right|A map of Hyrule as it was featured in ''Twilight Princess'']]

The Hyrule appearing in {{TP}} is much larger than in previous games. The government is centralized in [[Hyrule Castle Town|Castle Town]], and [[Kakariko Village]] again appears at the base of [[Death Mountain]]. A sign at the entrance to the [[Hidden Village]] identifies it as "Old Kakariko,"<ref>{{Cite|Welcome to Old {{Typo|Kakarico|Kakariko}}|Sign in Hylian|TP}}</ref> indicating that the Kakariko Village appearing in ''Twilight Princess'' may perhaps be the same one seen in {{OoT|-}}. [[Hyrule Field]] is larger and again divided into sectors like it was in {{TMC|-}}. The kingdom appears to have a more developed system of roads, with fortified bridges like the [[Bridge of Eldin]] and the [[Great Bridge of Hylia]] guarding the roads. New locations such as [[Snowpeak]] and [[Ordon Village]] also appear for the first time. The [[Temple of Time]] reappears in this game, but has shifted locations. It is no longer in the main [[Hyrule Castle Town|Castle Town]] as it was in {{OoT}}, but its ruins are instead in the [[Sacred Grove]], alongside the ruins of what appears to have been a city. This draws parallels with the [[Master Sword]]'s location in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]].'' This game also introduces the concept of Hyrule being divided into a province system, composed of Desert, Ordona, Peak, Faron, Eldin, and Lanayru provinces.

In {{SS}}, Hyrule is known as the '''Surface''' for much of the game, and was also named '''Grooseland''' by [[Groose]]. Many enemies roam the land, as the armies of [[Demise]]. Link descends to Hyrule from [[Skyloft]] with the help of the [[Goddess Sword]], and continues to travel back and forth between his homeland and the land below using [[Bird Statue]]s.<ref>{{Cite web|quote=Even something as simple as the aiming, which is handled not necessarily with a pointer but by moving your hand around, just like you would aim an item in real life, will make it that much easier for you to feel like you're in that world of Hyrule and experiencing the adventure that Link is, because you're so connected to what's going on.|url=http://www.joystiq.com/2010/06/16/interview-nintendos-shigeru-miyamoto-on-3ds-retro-zelda-and/|title=joystiq's Interview with Shigeru Miyamoto|site=joystiq.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|quote=Aonuma says that the scene which concludes the trailer, in which Link leaps off a cliff into a sea of clouds, is an important story point. Instead of being raised in a village on the ground, he's been brought up in a town called Skyloft, which is a floating island. He's lived his life in the clouds, and has only recently "discovered" the land below, which he finds has been overrun with evil forces. You spend the game going back and forth between these two regions: Skyloft, and the ground below.|url=http://kotaku.com/5564576/live-from-nintendos-e3-briefing|site=kotaku.com}}</ref> The surface is divided into three provinces, with names corresponding to their ''Twilight Princess'' counterparts. The [[Faron Woods|woodlands]] in the [[Faron Province]] is the home of the [[Kikwi]] race and contains the [[Sealed Grounds]], the [[Skyview Temple]], and [[Lake Floria]], home of the [[Faron (Dragon)|Water Dragon]]. [[Eldin Province]] is the northernmost province, inhabited by the [[Mogma]]s and home to the [[Earth Temple (Skyward Sword)|Earth Temple]] and [[Fire Sanctuary (Skyward Sword)|Fire Sanctuary]]. Death Mountain does not appear by name in the game; its role is played by [[Eldin Volcano]], which is generally believed to be the same location. [[Lanayru Province]] is a desert region in the far west, containing the [[Temple of Time]], [[Lanayru Mining Facility]], and the [[Sandship]]. This province was once a verdant green area surrounded by the sea, rich in minerals mined by the [[Ancient Robot]]s.
