'''Lake Hylia''' is a large lake and a recurring location in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' games. In most games, Lake Hylia is inhabited by the [[Zora]] people, and is fed by a river which flows from a waterfall, which itself flows from a mountain, usually [[Death Mountain]]. Lake Hylia first appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]''.

In ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' Lake Hylia is in southeast [[Hyrule]] and has small caves coming off it. Most of the lake can only be accessed once [[Link]] has the [[Flippers|Zora's Flippers]]. In the center of Lake Hylia is an island named the [[Pond of Happiness]], which is inhabited by [[Venus]]. At the northeast is the [[Ice Cave]], which is where Link can obtain the [[Ice Rod]] and the [[Golden Bee]]. The [[Ice Lake]] is the [[Dark World]] counterpart to Lake Hylia.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', Lake Hylia is more prominent than in the previous game. It is located toward the southwest of Hyrule. It is closed off by a gate but Link can enter it by riding [[Epona]], who can jump over the gate, or by scaling a ladder hidden behind a gate pillar. Lake Hylia's water is sourced from [[Zora's Fountain]], which flows through [[Zora's River]] and [[Gerudo Valley]] before reaching Lake Hylia. There is an underwater tunnel in [[Zora's Domain]] that leads to Lake Hylia, and it is possible to float downriver from Gerudo Valley.

There are numerous small islands in the lake, which are linked by bridges. The largest islet, which is marked by a tall, barren tree, has a [[Triforce Pedestal]] that is the warp point for the [[Serenade of Water]]. Beneath the islet is the Water Temple, which Link can only access if he has the [[Zora Tunic]] and [[Iron Boots]] equipped. At the shores of Lake Hylia, there is the [[Lakeside Laboratory]] and a [[Fishing Pond]]. The scarecrows [[Bonooru]] and [[Pierre]] live near Lake Hylia, the latter being absent during the time period when Link is an adult. [[Tektite|Blue Tektite]]s and [[Octorok]]s are enemies found at Lake Hylia.

Blue [[Tektite]]s and [[Guay]]s are enemies found at Lake Hylia.


During the adult timeline, Lake Hylia has lost most of its water because of the Water Temple's boss, [[Morpha]], while the number of enemies has increased and now includes [[Guay]]s. The tunnel to Zora's Domain is also frozen solid. Once Link defeats the boss, the water returns to Lake Hylia, though the passage to Zora's Domain remains inaccessible.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', Lake Hylia is the first stage in the [[Whereabouts of the Wind]] and of the game. A notable difference from previous games is that Lake Hylia consists of many smaller lakes that are connected via rivers. The place also has several trees and caves.

Lake Hylia serves primarily as a tutorial, and introduces basic features such as items and combat styles. Link begins in a large open area surrounded on three sides by forestry. Here he meets [[Kaepora Gaebora]] for the first time. Throughout the stage, Link can obtain three items: the [[Boomerang]], the [[Blue Bracelet]], and the [[Fire Rod]]. Near the end of the stage, Link must defeat many soldiers and their leader, a [[Darknut|Chief Soldier]]. At the end of the stage, Link must break the four-eyed barrier with his sword so that he may continue to the [[Cave of No Return]].

Lake Hylia returns in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', and is located in the southern part of [[Lanayru Province]]. Like ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', the water from Zora's River flows into Lake Hylia from the north, and there is a water-themed temple, the [[Lakebed Temple]], at the bottom of Lake Hylia. [[Lanayru Spring]] is found to the edge of Lake Hylia. Zoras are found here, along with [[Fyer]]. The [[Bridge of Hylia|Great Bridge of Hylia]] is the only way to cross Lake Hylia from [[Hyrule Field]]. Lake Hylia can only be accessed by playing the [[Flight-by-Fowl]] game, [[Iza]]'s [[Rapids Ride]] game, or jumping down from outside the South Gate of [[Hyrule Castle Town|Castle Town]].

When Link first encounters Lake Hylia in the [[Twilight Realm]], nearly all of its water has been drained because Zora's Domain froze, blocking the flow of water to Lake Hylia. Once Link has thawed the water of Zora's Domain, the flow of water into Zora's River is restored.

In ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'', Lake Hylia appears in its ''Ocarina of Time'' appearance as a stage. In Legend Mode, it only appears in the scenario [[The Water Temple (scenario)|The Water Temple]], where its waters must be drained to access said temple. The stage itself includes the shore, the entrance to the fishing hole, some of the crop fields, and the outside of the laboratory. A dimensional rift caused by [[Cia]]'s tampering with time and space connects it to the frozen Zora's Domain, which is also part of the stage. The Water Temple portion takes up the majority of it, however, housing several [[keep]]s.
