Hyrule/Appearances by Game: Difference between revisions

Hyrule is first seen in {{TLoZ}} as the magical kingdom that serves as the setting for the adventures of a young boy named [[Link]] in his quest to save Hyrule's young princess, [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]], from the clutches of the evil sorcerer [[Ganon]].<ref>{{Cite|LONG AGO, {{Color|TLoZ Red|GANON}}, PRINCE OF DARKNESS, STOLE THE TRIFORCE OF POWER. {{Color|TLoZ Blue|PRINCESS ZELDA}} OF HYRULE BROKE THE TRIFORCE OF WISDOM INTO EIGHT PIECES AND HID THEM FROM {{Color|TLoZ Red|GANON}} BEFORE SHE WAS KIDNAPPED BY {{Color|TLoZ Red|GANON'S}} MINIONS. {{Color|TLoZ Green|LINK}}, YOU MUST FIND THE PIECES AND SAVE {{Color|TLoZ Blue|ZELDA}}.|N/A|TLoZ}}</ref> In this game, Hyrule is described as a beautiful kingdom with deep forests and tall mountains bordering a vast ocean to its southern and eastern borders. As Link explores the kingdom, he visits all the different parts of it, including the Lost Woods to the west-southwest, the [[Graveyard]] in the shadow of Death Mountain to the northwest, the coastline to the southeastern and eastern borders of the kingdom and even the strange forests in the southeastern region of the country. In this original incarnation of Hyrule, the land is shown to have many forests and lakes in addition to the mountainous terrain of Death Mountain. This would mark the gaming world's first experience in the land of Hyrule and began several long traditions that would continue to be featured in later incarnations of the kingdom and would be vastly expanded upon and improved by the game developers. {{HH}} claims that this land is not exactly Hyrule, but a place called Lesser Hyrule, which could very well be the remains of the once-great kingdom.{{fact}}
