The Zelda Universe is comprised different lands, and through Link’s adventures we have had the benefit of experiences these wonderful terrains. Below are the most well-known of the lands of Zelda with detailed descriptions of each. You can click on the thumbnails to see larger images.
Hyrule
The land Hyrule is often mixed up with the World of Hyrule, for some strange reason. In the land of Hyrule, many important battles and events have taken place. It is filled with many different creatures, races, and places. People in the land of Hyrule have always had a strong religious faith, and have always greatly respected the powers of the Triforce. The Royal Family, who rules the land of Hyrule, is the most respected and upheld family in the kingdom.

Termina
When Link first visited a land outside Hyrule, Termina was the destination. Because many of the people and creatures he met here were very similar to the inhabitants of Hyrule, Termina is often thought of as a parallel world to Hyrule. However, in Termina, the races do not have a common king that runs the land, but they have individual leaders. The Terminians are more advanced than the Hyrulians, but do not seem to have the same faith in the gods as the Hyrulians do. Every year, they celebrate a big carnival in the center of the land, which is the city Clock Town. They do this in honor of the four great ones which, according to the legend, created the land and still guard it. The Triforce is not mentioned when Link is in Termina, so it is believed that it does not play a part of their lives or history.

The Great Sea
Once Hyrule was flooded by the Gods to ‘protect’ the land from Ganondorf, it became a vast sea. The inhabitants of Hyrule were forced to settle quickly atop Hyrule’s mountain ranges, and as time passed they forgot about Hyrule and the land below the sea. This huge sea with many islands became the new home of all life in Hyrule.

Koholint Island
While shipwrecked on a sea-voyage back to Hyrule, Link stumbled upon Koholint Island. The emperor of the island was the Wind fish, and Link could not leave the island until he had set the Wind Fish free. Many people that resembled the inhabitants of Hyrule inhabited this Island. Still, Link is doubtful whether the Island was real or just a place he visited in his dreams…

The Dark World / Sacred Realm
When Ganon was trapped in the Sacred Realm during the Imprisoning War, he still wanted to take over Hyrule. Instead, he had to settle with the Sacred Realm. The Sacred Realm is, in fact, a mirror-world of Hyrule. It was here that Ganon made plans of taking over Hyrule with his great army of soldiers, but his plans plans were foiled by Link, who entered the Dark World and saved Hyrule. When a normal person withgreedy and impure thoughts from Hyrule enters the Sacred Realm, he changes into a monster.

Labrynna
When peace reigned in Hyrule, Link was not free to rest. The Triforce called him to the land of Labrynna, as evil was stirring in this far-away land. In this land an evil empress took over the beautiful singer and goddess of time, Nayru. Labrynna is inhabited by the same races as Hyrule and Termina, but unlike Termina, Labrynna has their own inhabitants that are special for their land, and therefore the land is obviously not a parallel dimension, like Termina.

Holodrum
Located somewhere far from Hyrule, Holodrum is a very colorful and cheerful land. Link was brought to Holodrum by the Triforce when General Onox used the powers of the Oracle of Seasons, Din, to disturb the Seasons in Holodrum throwing them into chaos. The land is very similar to Labrynna, but it is characterized by its own unique landmarks and inhabitants.

Subrosia
Subrosia is a land deep inside of the planet where a subterranean race, the Subrosians, live. They are a peaceful race that can access every land in Hyrule that they want from Subrosia. The only known entrance for other races to Subrosia is in Holodrum.
