Dark World (Zelda)

The Dark World, also known as the Evil Realm, is a recurring location in The Legend of Zelda series. It is a twisted dimension parallel to the kingdom of Hyrule, which is referred to as Light World in contrast, and a corrupted incarnation of the Sacred Realm. The Dark World debuted in A Link to the Past, making it the first of many realms alternate to Hyrule to appear in the series, the others being Termina, the Twilight Realm, the World of the Ocean King, and Lorule.
Though Four Swords Adventures also features a Dark World of its own, it does not seem to share a connection with the original in A Link to the Past. It should be noted that the former game features several references to A Link to the Past. According to Hyrule Historia, a Dark World is again featured in Twilight Princess, though this realm is the combination of Hyrule and the Twilight Realm.

The Dark World of course was created as Ganondorf banished all the Sages, excepting Rauru who was killed and thus extinguishing all Light, to the Evil Realm (Hell) and warped Link, Navi and Zelda II there, starting atop the Pyramid of Power. Since then, it looked as if Hyrule was corrupted! All the enemies became twice as evil and powerful, even some of Zelda's Pokemon adapted, devolving into their feral forms (based on the Galarian forms). It wasn't until the Sages were rescued, and the Triforce was reunited while Zelda II attained the True Force and the three bearers died, purifying Hyrule and the Sacred Realm.
