Editing Kakariko Village

===''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past''===

In ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'', Kakariko Village, also known as '''Kakariko Town''', is located in the mid-western part of the [[Light World]], south of the [[Lost Woods]]. At one point, the [[Loyal Sage]] of the [[Sanctuary]] asks [[Link]] to find the wise man [[Sahasrahla]], who is the elder of Kakariko Village. Link can obtain two [[Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]], two [[bottle|Magic Bottle]]s and the [[net|Bug-Catching Net]] from here. Kakariko Village has an [[Kakariko Inn|inn]], a [[Kakariko Village Shop|shop]], and the [[Mysterious Hut]].

Many optional side-quests can be completed in Kakariko Village, but it is also the site of the [[duck]] sealed within the [[Weathervane]] that Link needs to awaken with the [[Ocarina|Flute]]. After doing so, the duck within the statue is released. Kakariko Village is one of the eight places that the duck can transport Link to if he plays the Flute to summon it.

The [[Dark World]] equivalent of Kakariko Village is the [[Village of Outcasts]], which is overrun with thieves, gambling establishments, and [[Moblin]]s. The Weathervane is replaced by a [[Gargoyle Statue]].

===''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''===

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', Kakariko Village is located right at the foot of [[Death Mountain]]. Its background theme has a similar arrangement to ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past''{{'}}s. Kakariko Village has a larger role in the time when Link is an adult. Several other locations can be accessed from Kakariko Village, such as the [[Bottom of the Well]], the [[graveyard]], and [[Death Mountain Trail]].  

During Link's adulthood, several people who lived in [[Hyrule Castle Town]] took refuge in Kakariko Village. [[Talon]] is also found in the village after [[Ingo]] kicks him out of the [[Lon Lon Ranch|ranch]]. There is an evil being that escapes (later revealed to be [[Bongo Bongo]]), sets fire to the village and retreats into the nearby [[Dark Palace|Shadow Temple]].

===''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures''===

Kakariko Village appears as the second stage of the fifth level of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', [[The Dark World (level)|the Dark World]]. Visually, it is more based on the Village of Outcasts, using updated versions of the same graphics and filled with [[thief|thieves]]. There are also many fires, set by [[Shadow Link]]s carrying [[Fire Rod]]s. Due to the Links' resemblence to Shadow Links, many of the villagers are suspicious of them, but request that they put out the fires before they leave. The sixth volume of [[Tingle Times]] is located at the entrance, where [[Tingle]] fumes that all his [[Force Gem]]s have been stolen behind his back and asks someone to beat up the thief who took them. Most of Kakariko Village's typical traits, including its music, are given to the [[Village of the Blue Maiden]]. Kakariko Village itself uses the "Hidden Mountain and Forest" music from ''A Link to the Past'', switching to the introductory reel music for both games once the rain starts.

 

When the Links first arrive, [[Kaepora Gaebora]] flies in and warns them that the darkness has corrupted the village and many of its inhabitants, and they tell him that the [[White Maiden]] asked them to guard the [[Dark Mirror]] held in the [[Temple of Darkness]]. He agrees that they are trustworthy to guard it, and flies off to look further around Hyrule to keep stock of things. When the Links enter the are required to capture all ten thieves in order to advance north of the city. Several of the thieves are well-hidden and require particular items to reach; some require a [[Power Bracelet]] to reach, which can be obtained by bringing a Cucco to a lonely old widower. Once Link travels to the northern section, he must navigate a maze filled with fire as well as an aggressive [[Chain Chomp]] in the middle. Further north is a place where they can summon rain by lighting some torches and thus quell the fire. This opens a few optional areas, such as the house of an ill person who thanks the Links with several Force Gems and a small body of water where they can feed [[fish]] to a hungry [[Zora]] for a [[Heart Container]]. Outside the village is a river filled with waterfalls, spiked objects, rapids, and hostile Zoras, with Force Gems and [[Force Fairy|Force Fairies]] floating above. At the end of the river is a fight with a [[Big Dark Stalfos]] assisted by two grey [[Sword Guard|Sword Soldier]]s. When the Links defeat it, the spirit of the [[Green Knight]] is freed and they recover the [[Green Royal Jewel]], while the path to the temple opens.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', Kakariko Village is a barren wasteland inside a canyon. There are a few shops, including [[Malo Mart]] (a general shop), [[Barnes Bombs]] (a bomb shop), and a [[Kakariko Village night shop|shop]] run by a [[Goron]], though only during the night. There are some empty homes, a [[Sanctuary (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)|Sanctuary]], the [[Eldin Spring]], a [[Kakariko Hot Spring|hot spring]] within the town, and the [[Elde Inn]]. While vastly different, Kakariko Village has similar nearby locations to the village in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''; both are close to Death Mountain and have the graveyard nearby. The music theme only employs brief quotes of the opening melody that was featured in Kakariko Village's first two appearances. According to [[Queen Rutela]], Kakariko Village and its graveyard is a sacred place for the [[Zora]] because it is where they take their eternal rest.

The [[Hidden Village]] has a billboard with [[Hylian]] text that translates to "Welcome to Old Kakarico,"{{sic}} which suggests that the place is a Kakariko Village from an earlier game.

 

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]'', Kakariko Village is a bustling village located in the south-west mountain region, north of the [[Dueling Peaks]] and immediately east of [[Lantern Lake]]. It is one of the few communities that was left unharmed by the [[Great Calamity]] due to the mountainous terrain. [[King Rhoam]] instructs [[Link]] to go to the village to meet [[Impa]], so the player usually goes there early in the game. The [[Ta'loh Naeg Shrine]]  is located on the northern outskirts of the village, and a passage in the north-east section leads to a [[Fairy Fountain]].
