Hyrule Field

is a recurring grassy plain in Hyrule in . It is the central region of Hyrule that leads to all of the prominent locations of the kingdom, and as such, Link must travel through Hyrule Field to reach villages, markets, and lakes, among other places. In , there is a parallel version of Hyrule Field called Termina Field. Though the many game-specific regions of Hyrule often have a large field common to and one that connects all areas of the map, only those specifically labeled as Hyrule Field are of any significance. 
==Features and Overview==
======
Hyrule Field is a large round area that acts as the hub or crossroads of Hyrule in . All other areas of the game branch out from this region. However, there is little activity, and besides a few side-quests, it serves little purpose other than maintaining the illusion of a vast land. 
Located in the center of Hyrule Field is Lon-Lon Ranch, and all other areas dwell on its outskirts. At the northmost section of the field rests Hyrule Castle Town, the main center of activity of Hyrule which also serves as the location of Hyrule Castle. To the northeast is Kakariko Village, the primary settlement for Hyruleans, and just north of the village is Death Mountain. Zora's River and ultimately Zora's Domain reside in the east, while the Kokiri Forest is situated in the southeast. Directly to the west of Kokiri Forest is Lake Hylia, a deep, pure lake that is home to the . Lastly, Gerudo Valley is located to the west, where one the other side of the valley the gang of female thieves have established their hideout, the Gerudo's Fortress.
All of the waterflow in Hyrule is a direct source from the waters in Zora's Fountain, located in the northeast. This water flows through Zora's River and makes its way past Castle Town, continuing its path through the bottom of Gerudo Valley and eventually reaching its final destination: Lake Hylia.
As young Link, Stalchildren burrow out of the ground during the nighttime and attack the young hero. They can be avoided by sticking to the dirt road or by wearing the Bunny Hood. Peahats can also be found in the southern and northern corners of the field, and will attack anyone who gets too close to their territory during the day; however, if Link attacks the Peahats during the night, they will send out Peahat Larva to chase after him. Once Link turns into an adult by retrieving the Master Sword from its Pedestal, the Stalchildren and the Peahats will disappear; instead, Big Poes as well as ordinary Poes will roam the field, although they will only appear at certain spots.

In , Hyrule Field is almost five times larger than in and spans three Provinces: Lanayru, Eldin, and Faron. It sports more landscape variety than its previous incarnation, including bridges, rocky cliffs, woods, and ancient ruins, and unlike , Hyrule Field in is not one huge area, but several areas connected by pathways. Due to its immense size, it is easier to traverse the field with either the help of Epona or by warping through a Portal.
Hyrule Field surrounds Hyrule Castle and is full of shortcuts and entrances to many other areas, including: 
*Faron Woods in the south
*Kakariko Village and Kakariko Gorge in the 
*Zora's Domain in the north
*Lake Hylia in the 
*Hyrule Castle Town in the center
Various enemies roam the field, including Bokoblins, Bulblins, Deku Babas, Bomskits, Guays, Leevers, Poes, Stalhounds (at night), Kargaroks, Tektites, Helmasaurs, Lizalfos, Chuchus, and Bullbos.
Several important game events occur in the field. After Colin gets kidnapped by King Bulblin, Link follows him to the portion of Hyrule Field, where the young hero defeats King Bulblin at the Bridge of Eldin. Link must once again journey through Hyrule Field as Telma, Ilia and Ralis are riding in a caravan on their way to Kakariko Village from the Hyrule Castle Town while the young hero defends Telma's caravan from enemy attacks during the ride. The last event is the final two fights against Ganondorf which take place on Hyrule Field. 
When riding Epona through Hyrule Field, a remixed version of the theme music is played, which adds brass instruments to the melody.
======
Unlike in previous Zelda games, Hyrule Field in is completely open; all parts of the overworld are accessible with no interruptions, whereas in previous games, different parts of the overworld were separated by loading screens. There are also enemies roaming the field. Central Hyrule houses the location of Hyrule Field in the game.
