I think abt Twilight Princess’s Hyrule so much it’s not even funny. It’s soooooo fuckin weird and I love it.
There are inexplicable chasms. Everywhere. What’s beyond them? There’s no ocean, the biggest (and only) body of water is lake hylia. The entire continent seems to be a plateau. There are mostly hylians but also just Normal Actual Humans in Ordon village. Where did the humans come from/disappear to? There’s a secret resistance, but it’s unclear what they’re resisting. The Gerudo desert exists. It is walled off for some reason and you have to access it via canon. The Gerudo themselves are just fucking gone. This is probably because the Hyrulean royal family committed genocide. The only signs of them are at the Hyrulean royal family’s off-site prison/execution grounds. They had a dinosaur at the off-site prison/execution grounds. What were they doing with the dinosaur?? There are four provinces, of which the main three are named after the three golden goddesses, and their respective light spirits. Are these light spirits the goddesses? Servants? Something else? They do not make another appearance in any other game (to my knowledge), so we don’t know. The fourth province is named “ordonna”, after the light spirit, ordonna. What is ordonna? She is completely omitted from the creation story interloper section. Is she not important? She’s literally never mentioned again in any other game, she doesn’t even have a mountain or hill in botw. Was she just so good at minding her own business that when like. Calamity Ganon showed up for the first time, she just took her whole province and peaced out??? Is she just the fourth goddess before skyward sword lore made hylia the main goddess and removed all significance from the other three???
