Location from The Legend of Zelda by Nintendo
The kingdom at the center of every legend — a land of impossible geography where a castle, a volcano, a desert, a lake, and an ancient forest exist in one improbable kingdom that keeps getting destroyed and rebuilt.
Hyrule is a kingdom defined by its cycles. It was founded by the goddess Hylia's descendants, fought over by every incarnation of Ganondorf, flooded by the gods in one timeline, split into twilight in another, and raised to the sky in a third. It keeps breaking. It keeps getting rebuilt. The geography shifts between games but the landmarks remain: castle, mountain, lake, forest, desert. The kingdom's races — Hylians, Gorons, Zora, Gerudo, Rito, Sheikah, Koroks — each occupy distinct regions and contribute distinct cultures. The Triforce's influence permeates everything. The Royal Family descends from the goddess. The Hero reincarnates. The Demon King returns. Hyrule endures.
Hyrule Castle at the northern center, Death Mountain smoking to the northeast, Gerudo Desert sprawling to the southwest, forests dominating the south and east, Lake Hylia shimmering in the south-center, and Zora's Domain tucked into the eastern highlands. In BotW/TotK, the open world is vast enough to take hours to cross on horseback.
