Hyrule Field
From Lozwiki
Hyrule Field (Japanese: ハイラル平原, Hairaru Heigen) is the field in the middle of all the other places, in the very center of Hyrule. From Hyrule Field, it is possible to access most areas of the land. To the north of Hyrule Field is Hyrule Castle Town. It is surrounded by a moat and can be entered by a drawbridge, which closes at night. To the west, lies Gerudo Valley, accessibly over a long rope bridge. To the northeast is Kakariko Village and Death Mountain. To the east is Zora's Domain. To the southeast is Kokiri Forest and the Lost Woods. To the south is Lake Hylia. Zora's River flows through Hyrule Field. Aside from Lon Lon Ranch at its center, there is little else actually in the field. There are small stands of trees in the north corner across the river and near the entrance to Kokiri Forest. A series of trails lead from Zora's Domain to Lake Hylia along Zora's River, past Gerudo Valley and Hyrule Castle Town. Another trail lies to the east of Lon Lon Ranch and another perpendicular to that. At night, when Link is a child, Stalchildren will attack anyone wandering the field, and Peahats, which inhabit the western part of the field, will attack anyone wandering during the day. No enemies inhabit the field when Link is an adult other than the Poes that can be found at specific spots throughout the field.
There is no equivalent to Hyrule Field in the other Zelda games, except for Termina Field in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, and the Hyrule Field seen in the trailers for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
