| Place | As a child | Seven years later |
|---|---|---|
 Kokiri ForestForest | Link’s home village. The Kokiri Sword, the Deku Shield in the shop and the way to the Great Deku Tree. | Overrun by monsters until the Forest Temple is cleared. The Deku Tree Sprout explains Link’s past. |
| Lost WoodsForest | A maze that loops back on itself: follow the music to Saria. Skull Kids, a target game and two Pieces of Heart. | The same maze; Sheik waits beyond it. Fado and Grog are part of the trading sequence. |
 Sacred Forest MeadowForest | A hedge maze guarded by Wolfos. Saria teaches Saria’s Song at the top. | Moblins patrol the maze. Sheik teaches the Minuet of Forest; the Forest Temple is reached with the Hookshot. |
 Hyrule FieldCentral Hyrule | The open plain joining every region. Stalchildren rise at night; grottos hide under rocks and trees. | Ride Epona across it and hunt the ten Big Poes. |
 Lon Lon RanchCentral Hyrule | Malon teaches Epona’s Song; Talon runs his Cucco game. | Ingo runs the ranch for Ganondorf. Race him to win Epona. |
 Hyrule Castle TownCentral Hyrule | The busy Market: shops, Bombchu Bowling, the Shooting Gallery, the Treasure Chest game and the Happy Mask Shop. | A ruined town full of ReDeads. Only the Poe Collector’s Ghost Shop remains. |
| Hyrule CastleCentral Hyrule | Sneak past the guards to meet Zelda in the courtyard. A Great Fairy grants Din’s Fire. | Replaced by Ganon’s Castle floating over a lava pit. A Great Fairy nearby grants Double Defense. |
 Temple of TimeCentral Hyrule | The Door of Time opens with the three Spiritual Stones, the Ocarina of Time and the Song of Time. | Link travels between ages at the Pedestal of Time. Sheik teaches the Prelude of Light; Zelda gives the Light Arrows. |
 Kakariko VillageKakariko | Impa’s village: the Cucco Lady, the windmill, the House of Skulltula and the gate to Death Mountain. | Bigger and busier; the Shooting Gallery opens. The well bursts open, and Sheik then teaches the Nocturne of Shadow. |
 Kakariko GraveyardKakariko | Dampé’s grave-digging tour; the Royal Family’s Tomb holds the Sun’s Song. | Dampé’s ghost races Link for the Hookshot. The Shadow Temple lies beyond the ledge. |
 Death Mountain TrailDeath Mountain | Leads to Dodongo’s Cavern, Goron City and a Great Fairy at the summit. | Biggoron sits at the summit; the trail is the way to the Fire Temple. |
 Goron CityDeath Mountain | Darunia’s home, hidden inside the mountain. Stop the rolling Goron for a bigger Bomb Bag. | Almost empty: the Gorons have been taken to the Fire Temple. Medigoron sells the Giant’s Knife. |
 Death Mountain CraterDeath Mountain | Reached from the summit or Goron City; a Bean spot and Piece of Heart. | The Fire Temple entrance. Sheik teaches the Bolero of Fire on the bridge. |
 Zora’s RiverZora lands | The Bean Seller, the singing frogs and two Pieces of Heart. | Quiet apart from Tektites and Octoroks. |
 Zora’s DomainZora lands | King Zora’s throne room and the diving game for the Silver Scale. | Frozen solid. Thaw King Zora with Blue Fire for the Zora Tunic. |
 Zora’s FountainZora lands | Lord Jabu-Jabu floats here; a Great Fairy grants Farore’s Wind. | Iced over. Hop across the floes to the Ice Cavern. |
 Lake HyliaLake Hylia | The Lakeside Laboratory, the Fishing Pond and Bonooru the scarecrow. | Drained until the Water Temple is cleared. Shoot the sun for the Fire Arrows. |
 Gerudo ValleyGerudo Desert | Child Link can reach the canyon bridge, but a guard turns him back from the fortress. | The bridge is broken; the carpenters camp nearby. Cross with Epona or the Longshot. |
 Gerudo’s FortressGerudo Desert | Off limits to a child. | Rescue the four carpenters for Gerudo’s Card. Horseback Archery and the Training Ground are here. |
 Haunted WastelandGerudo Desert | Out of reach for a child. | A sandstorm and a river of sand. Follow the flags and the Poe guide (Lens of Truth). |

FAQ
What changes in Hyrule after seven years?
Ganondorf rules from his castle: Castle Town is in ruins, Kokiri Forest is overrun, Zora’s Domain is frozen, Lake Hylia has been drained and the Gorons have been captured. Each region recovers as Link clears its temple.
How do you get around Hyrule quickly?
Ride Epona across Hyrule Field, and use the warp songs Sheik teaches to jump to each temple. Warp songs.
