Hyrule

''Not to be confused with Hyrule Kingdom. ''

Hyrule is the name of the continent where all the races live. It is governed by the Hyrule Kingdom. The main population consists of a mix of Hylians, Gorons, Rito, Zora, Gerudo and Sheikah.

Topography
The geology of Hyrule is marked by two mountain ranges: the Ikana Canyon Mountain Range and the Eldin-Hebra Mountain Range. In the Eldin Mountain Range are the Death Mountains, a series of active volcanoes. The largest mountains are Mount Hylia and Mount Majora.

Between the two mountain ranges is the Gerudo Desert limited to the Northwest by the Gerudo Wall, often thought impossible to climb. To the south of Ikana Canyon Mountain Range is a plains called Termina Field, and to the East of the Eldin-Hebra Mountain Range is Hyrule Field. On top of the Hebra Mountain Range is Kolomo Plateau. The Lanayru region is made up of highlands and valleys, with the exception of Lanayru Mountain, Hyrule's third highest mountain.

Climate
The climate in of Hyrule varies significantly from region to region. Tropical rainforest climates occur in the far north coasts of the Lanayru region. Temperate climate can be found in Termina region, while warmer temperatures and fair weather appear on Faron region. An intense arid climate plagues the Gerudo region, the driest region of the continent.

Hydrology
With the two mountain ranges, Hyrule has several lakes and rivers that flow through the Faron and Termina regions. The largest river is Zora River, which flows from Lanayru Mountain to the Great Sea.
