Ordon Village

Ordon Village is a rural village in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess that is part of the Ordona Province and is located in the southernmost part of Hyrule. It is the hometown of Link and the place where he starts his adventure. Ordon Village is also the setting of a few stages in a spinoff title, Link's Crossbow Training.

Ordon Village is located in light forest area. It is largely agricultural, and a lot of Ordon Pumpkins grow there. Ordon Village consists mostly of houses, although it also has a store, Sera's Sundries. There is a pond where link can go fishing. Just outside the village, Fado manages a goat pasture, Ordon Ranch. Link's house is located outside of the main village. There is a house with a waterwheel, and it is inhabited by Jaggle and Pergie and their two kids, Malo and Talo. Uli and Rusl live by the big tree with their young son, Colin.

Most of the inhabitants wear a similar type of outfit, with a white, sleeveless shirt, a large colored cloth around the waist tied with a belt, a skirt or pants, and sandals. They generally have a large amount of respect for the hardworking Link.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
At the start of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, after herding the goats at Ordon Ranch, Link must help the townsfolk of Ordon Village with a few tasks. This includes knocking down a beehive, retrieving Uli's cradle from a monkey, and returning Sera's cat. When Link returns Sera's cat, he can buy the Slingshot from Sera's Sundries for 30 rupees. Rusl also repairs Link's Wooden Sword and gives it to him. The children of Ordon Village ask Link to teach them a few sword techniques, especially to deal with the monkeys from Faron Woods that have recently shown up around Ordon Village. Talo even borrows the Wooden Sword from Link to chase a monkey out of Ordon Village.

Ordon Village is later invaded by King Bulblin and the Bulblins, who kidnap Ilia and the other children. Link leaves Ordon Village, starting his journey to rescue the children.

The next time Link visits Ordon Village is as a wolf. The denziens, such as Rusl, are afraid of Link and act hostile toward him, unaware that he is a wolf. The animals are unafraid of Link, who can talk to them as a wolf. Midna tasks Link with finding a sword and shield for her to carry, although she later decides to reserve them for Link.

Later during his adventure, Link (as a human) returns to Ordon Village and visits Mayor Bo. Link wins a sumo wrestling match against Bo and is rewarded the Iron Boots, allowing him to bypass the Gorons on the path to Death Mountain. Link also finds that Rusl has recovered from his injuries and has gone to find the children. After obtaining the Iron Boots, Link is not required to visit Ordon Village again during his adventure.

In the end credits, the children and Ilia, who took refuge in Kakariko Village earlier, return to Ordon Village.

Items
In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, there are some valuable rupees that Link can obtain in Ordon Village:


 * Blue Rupee: Located under a rock.
 * Yellow Rupee: On the rooftop of a building. Link can reach it by summoning a hawk with Hawk Grass. Another yellow Rupee is on a hillside and can be reached with help from a Cucco.
 * Orange Rupee: Located behind Rusl's house, Link must use the Gale Boomerang to obtain it.

Trivia

 * During The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess's development, Ordon Village was named Toaru Village. The word "toaru" is Japanese for "unnamed", so Toaru Village literally translates to "Unnamed Village". The name Toaru Village is even featured in the game's E3 2005 demo.
