Not to be confused with the Central Tower Region.

Central Hyrule is a recurring Region in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][name reference needed]

Features and Overview[]

Breath of the Wild[]

Central Hyrule is the central Region of Hyrule Kingdom, containing the Great Plateau, Hyrule Field and the Hyrule Ridge. Central Hyrule was burned in the Great Calamity a hundred years ago.[2] Link begins his quest in this Region after waking up in the Shrine of Resurrection on the Great Plateau. At the northern edge of Central Hyrule lies Hyrule Castle, which holds Calamity Ganon.

It is known, during the time of Calamity Ganon, as one of the most dangerous Regions in Hyrule Kingdom, due to vast amounts of Guardians being present there and myriad monsters, such as Bokoblins.

Great Hyrule Forest[]

The Great Hyrule Forest is a large wooded area that covers the vast majority of northern Central Hyrule,[3] consisting of smaller woods that together make up the entire area. The Lost Woods is the largest of all its forests, which surrounds the Korok Forest in its core, and is itself surrounded by a deep gorge known as Lake Mekar. The Great Hyrule Forest further extends north toward the Eldin Mountains, ending at the isolated Thyphlo Ruins.
