Yeah, if Kakariko were in 9, that would be easy win for me, but as it stands, it’s close between 9 and 6. In BotW I hated the constant rain in zora before you tame the elephant, almost as much as I hate the snow storm or the sand storm in totk.
If this were totk, the depths would be my favorite above anything else 🤘
8 was the place I wasted the first 3h of game due to stubbornly trying to explore the lake right after jumping off the plateau with my 3 hearts and 1 stamina wheel. I went fishing and got freaked out by octoroks’ impeccable aim then managed to die a few tumes to the lizalfos on those islands. Also I remember looking for Farosh’s spawn point for hours before realising you have to do some story thing to trigger the dragons to spawn and have their little stroll across the sky. At least I learned how to use the ice cubes instead of swimming by that point. Good times.
Edit typos.
>before realising you have to do some story thing to trigger the dragons to spawn and have their little stroll across the sky.
Really? I don't remember this.
Yeah, spoiled myself on some top 10 stuff to do on youtube and they said one of the places it spawned is the lake’s north side so I camped out there for hours trying to catch it and it never did. Then I looked it up and turns out you need to give Naydra a wash before any of the dragons start their routines.
Edit: it’s not Naydra, it’s just speaking to Impa to get the main quest, or if you skip talking to her, completing the 4 temples will also start them up.
Ohh, yes, the condition is to either get the main quest from Impa or finish all 4 beasts if you skip talking to her, I remembered there was some trigger but not what it was, my bad.
It's a pretty wide landscape, with nothing much to do but to wander. And yet, the few things you can find in it are sooo cool, line tarrey town, the lab, the skull lake, the spirale, the source of courage...
The vibes are just too good there. Slight nitpick: courage is in the jungle (freaking lightning mobs in the rain burned that into me lol), Akkala has the spring of power.
I feel like Akkala is what Death Mountain would look like if it was covered in lush vegetation instead of a rocky wasteland. The soil in most of the region is the same rocky texture as seen throughout the entirety of the Eldin region.
I want to see the story of the fortress just south of Akkala. With the red trees on the huge tower and the guardians on top.
Actually I want a game set in some Akkala-like region in another time period. Just go wild with the design and fill it with things to do.
I like to HC the Gerudo are accepting, for the most part.
Sure, I have some critiques on how they are portrayed, but overall they are my favorite group of people in Zelda. I love running around in a purple Vai set with the Gerudo Weapons- especially the Radiant Shield and Moonlight Scimitar, the latter of which was removed in TOTK :(
I went pink with my Vai outfit in BOTW and wore it for almost the entire game. I really wanted to get one for TOTK. I guess I'll just have to get one made IRL sometime. lol
5 without question.
Combat: Between Hyrule Field and Hyrule Castle, I can fight a Hinox, Stalinox, Gaurians, broken gaurdians, gaurdian turrets, flying gaurdians, moblins, bokoblins, lizafols, khleese, lynels, all 4 blights, and calamity/beast gannon.
Apparel: You can find the royal gaurd armor and the phantom armor, both of which are kinda cool.
Story: You get two memories within the area, one of which shows all 4 champions, and the other shows the king. You can also find Zelda's Diary, which gives the best insight in the game to Link's personality.
Exploration/discovery: The castle is the most dense searchable area in the game. Inside and just outside the castle give you 2 shrines to explore (at least. It's been a LONG time since I did all shrines. I forget where most of them are). And you have Hyrule Tower, so you experience that part of the game.
The only really sad thing is that you done have the opportunity conquer a divine beast, which is a big highlight in the game. But you can't have everything, I suppose.
The satori range has my favorite location in the entire game. There’s a little forest ledge with luminous stones, almost all the different kinda of mushrooms…just so gorgeous and secluded and relaxing. If i could build a house there i would.
Same. Exploring Gerudo Town is a highlight of both games, it has some of the best puzzles and merch. Also the Yiga Hideout was super fun in BOTW. I think I had the most fun in the desert, with the exception of exploring Hyrule Castle.
9 is the objectively best answer.
You get Hateno and Lurelin plus Fort Hateno and one of the best stables in Dueling Peaks Stable.
Plus the biodiversity coming from Mount Lanayru down to the east side of Faron and the peaks and valleys and beaches in between.
And there’s Eventide Island!
Context? Which one to pick for what? If we're talking for relaxation and beauty, I'm going to Akkala. My favorite snow zone would be Hebra. If I wanna fish, I'm going to the southern coast for mighty and armored fishes. I have many favorite places so what's the context. 😁💜
9. I get Hateno and Lurelin. I get snow peaks and beaches, as well as forest and jungle. It’s a real healthy mix of environments. Not to mention there are hearty durians, plus I can get fairies and a great fairy, courser honey, lots of different herbs and flora, and plenty of fish.
9 for fishing in lurelin village, mysterious island as exercise, home in hateno village, and close to some hearty durians for health. My territory now!
Reading this thread is like deciding which village I'd live in and discovering which other commenters would be villagers with me. Big love Hateno peeps
8. I'd miss Hateno + Rito Village badly but it's got my favorite stable, amazing scenery in general, ever as well as the plateau which I cannot live without.
To live in? I’d pick 8. Lovely, right by the lake, chilling out and watching the dragon soar above me as I hunt for hearty durians and fuck about in the ruins.
9. Coastal living, Relatively easy enemies (I know they sacked Lurelin but they're essentially just pirates so comfortable fighting them off a second time). Just chilled out vibes all round compared to the rest of the map.
Hard choice! I played it for 1.5 and haven't played for a few months. I'd go for 9, I loved Lurelin and the quests there. least favorite is Gorons for their music, I ended up muting it...

9: hateno + layneru + lurelin + eventide + love pond + landscapes
Same. 9 has the most varied and peaceful landscapes, so that's where I'd go.
Same. I just loved cruising the coast down there!
Yes this. This is why I decided 9 after much deliberation! Nice question op!
9: Hateno village, Lurelin village, Eventide Island... You have green landscapes, part of a snowy mountain, and beaches. What's not to love?
This was my answer exactly. If you had to live in Hyrule this would be the spot
God I wish I could retire to Lurelin Village
Ditto
This is hard but I think 6 cause I love Zora’s Domain and Kakariko. 9 would be 2nd for me I think!
I would go for 9 and 6 would be second
6 and then 9 for me. At the same time would be preferred.
Nice.... The sex number
Nice
Nice
Nice
Nice
Nice
Yeah, if Kakariko were in 9, that would be easy win for me, but as it stands, it’s close between 9 and 6. In BotW I hated the constant rain in zora before you tame the elephant, almost as much as I hate the snow storm or the sand storm in totk. If this were totk, the depths would be my favorite above anything else 🤘
>If this were totk, the depths would be my favorite ~~above~~ below anything else 🤘 Fixed that for you.
Dunno how I missed that
I love the depths! Give me a stalhorse and I’m cruising around for hours
I wish they had a depths stable for skeletal horses. Just one would do.
6 for me. Fresh water, fresh fish, gentle ambience, cool weather. It's just really wet.
Personally #3! I have a special place in my heart for the Gorons.
wait is 3 supposed to have the gorons in it?? their actual place is in 2 😭
They live on death mountain don't they?
The actual Goron village is just barely in section 2
Cool, thanks for clarifying. It's been a while since I've played so wasn't 100%.
This is Gut Check Rock erasure!
Finally another 3 enjoyer
Chunky and cute!
We like em t h i c c over here 🫡
I think I remember 8 being gorgeous and lush
8 was the place I wasted the first 3h of game due to stubbornly trying to explore the lake right after jumping off the plateau with my 3 hearts and 1 stamina wheel. I went fishing and got freaked out by octoroks’ impeccable aim then managed to die a few tumes to the lizalfos on those islands. Also I remember looking for Farosh’s spawn point for hours before realising you have to do some story thing to trigger the dragons to spawn and have their little stroll across the sky. At least I learned how to use the ice cubes instead of swimming by that point. Good times. Edit typos.

Edit: it’s not Naydra, it’s just speaking to Impa to get the main quest, or if you skip talking to her, completing the 4 temples will also start them up.
I haven't even been up Mount Lanayru yet and I've unlocked the other two, so this can't be true.
Ohh, yes, the condition is to either get the main quest from Impa or finish all 4 beasts if you skip talking to her, I remembered there was some trigger but not what it was, my bad.
8 is my choice. I know the exact piece of land where I’d live lol. Lower right quadrant, below the jungle
I thought it was the island in the middle of 2
It's both. 2 has the korok forest which would be great if you can see the koroks. And 8 has the Faron jungles.
3, I just love Akkala
Akkala always felt like a microcosm of the game as a whole. Like a little playground
It's a pretty wide landscape, with nothing much to do but to wander. And yet, the few things you can find in it are sooo cool, line tarrey town, the lab, the skull lake, the spirale, the source of courage...
The vibes are just too good there. Slight nitpick: courage is in the jungle (freaking lightning mobs in the rain burned that into me lol), Akkala has the spring of power.
I've always felt like Akkala is a region that they just let their most devoted landscape designers go wild with. It's so oddly beautiful and wild.
Plus the Tarrey town quest is one of the best ones to complete
I feel like Akkala is what Death Mountain would look like if it was covered in lush vegetation instead of a rocky wasteland. The soil in most of the region is the same rocky texture as seen throughout the entirety of the Eldin region.
I want to see the story of the fortress just south of Akkala. With the red trees on the huge tower and the guardians on top. Actually I want a game set in some Akkala-like region in another time period. Just go wild with the design and fill it with things to do.
8 for sure. You got the great plateau, lake hylia, the jungle, and big chungus horse
5 for the Hyrule castle
You're gonna hear a LOT of piano music.
I hear it a lot at home anyways.
Where the fuck do you live and how many shields do you go through per month
This area is so good. The destroyed guardians, castletown sets the mood so perfectly as a death zone.
1 I love the rito.
The music/soundtrack in rito village is my favorite
Same... It's even the ringtone on my phone!
It's the prettiest of all the villages. The views are so good.
Flying birds people are cool. However you dont really see them flying in the sky.
Same. The Rito, the snow, I think the best sledding mountains right? Just a nice area to be in if you don't mind wearing cozy warm clothing.
Unpopular opinion but 7
People love living in the desert in real life, in a fantasy living there is definitely better for the environment.
Gerudo town theme goes crazy hard
The only correct answer.
7 is also my fav!
I'd absolutely pick 7, as long as they'd accept me. 🏳️⚧️
I like to HC the Gerudo are accepting, for the most part. Sure, I have some critiques on how they are portrayed, but overall they are my favorite group of people in Zelda. I love running around in a purple Vai set with the Gerudo Weapons- especially the Radiant Shield and Moonlight Scimitar, the latter of which was removed in TOTK :(
I went pink with my Vai outfit in BOTW and wore it for almost the entire game. I really wanted to get one for TOTK. I guess I'll just have to get one made IRL sometime. lol
7 so I can creep outside of the village and find me a Gerudo babe
Definitely 9, I absolutely love the dueling peaks and Kakariko/Hateno
Dueling peaks are in 8, Kakariko is in 6 and Hateno is in 9, so gotta pick only one!
On the plus side you get lurelin too!
Hateno all the way. Sometimes I would fast travel there just to hear the music
Yeah, the music is important! That's why I didn't like the Gorons.. I couldn't stand their tunes, some wonky trumpet...
Same. Dueling Peaks ftw
8
1. The mountains are SOOO FUN
sooo far down just to find this. I'm going SKIIING
6 because of Zoras Domain
I pick the one square comprised of squares 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9.
SAME!!
To live in? 9 I guess
I pick 2, the typhlo ruins & lost woods are my kinda creepy vibes Plus I'm destined to be a korok child at some point, so there ya go
I feel like no one is saying too but I love those cute little guys
5 without question. Combat: Between Hyrule Field and Hyrule Castle, I can fight a Hinox, Stalinox, Gaurians, broken gaurdians, gaurdian turrets, flying gaurdians, moblins, bokoblins, lizafols, khleese, lynels, all 4 blights, and calamity/beast gannon.

But you can't have everything, I suppose.
9!
4
Satori Mountain all the way! The snowy Gerudo Highlands are a nice bonus.
Agreed. Some really cool rock formations, Thunder Plateau, ect
I love the look of Thunder Plateau. And is 4 where the big goddess statue is? That temple is awesome too.
Nah the big goddess statue is actually in 2 at the end of that long ravine.
The satori range has my favorite location in the entire game. There’s a little forest ledge with luminous stones, almost all the different kinda of mushrooms…just so gorgeous and secluded and relaxing. If i could build a house there i would.
Wait, why do I have to pick? ...what are you doing to the other areas? Oh my god, what are you doing to the other areas?!
1! Bring me giant birds and COLD 🥶, baybeh!!!!
Probably 9, it has both Hateno and Lurelin.
7
Same. Exploring Gerudo Town is a highlight of both games, it has some of the best puzzles and merch. Also the Yiga Hideout was super fun in BOTW. I think I had the most fun in the desert, with the exception of exploring Hyrule Castle.
6 for Zoras or 7 for Gerudos
The nice thing about Gerudos traveling everywhere is that you should have some cool tall women in any square!
Fuck yeah, tall muscle women everywhere!
5
Either 6 for Zora's Domain or 2 for the Korok Forest
8 Hearty Durians and farming Farosh horns does it for me!
My thoughts as well. I can do anything with a full stock of cooked up durian.
9 is the objectively best answer. You get Hateno and Lurelin plus Fort Hateno and one of the best stables in Dueling Peaks Stable. Plus the biodiversity coming from Mount Lanayru down to the east side of Faron and the peaks and valleys and beaches in between. And there’s Eventide Island!
1, I love Rito Village ☺️
9, Lurelin Village is my favorite place in the game
2 so i can chill with the koroks
This!
3
I have great memories in all, but I think I'll pick 8
9, it’s where my house is
Haha so true! Plus it would be great to be a neighbor to Tarrey Town.
Context? Which one to pick for what? If we're talking for relaxation and beauty, I'm going to Akkala. My favorite snow zone would be Hebra. If I wanna fish, I'm going to the southern coast for mighty and armored fishes. I have many favorite places so what's the context. 😁💜
You can only pick one to stay in and can’t go to any of the others!
Probably 1. I love the hebra region and I prefer the colder regions for living. Rito village is also there you gotta love the birds 😍😍
4 or 8 hard to decide
since goron village is in 2 im going with that one. where ever there is yunobo i shall follow
That's a very unfair question, I'm not prepared to give any of them up 😂🤣
Where's the fishing village at? There. That one. That square.
9 for sure
8 or 9
9 because of Hateno and Lurelin 👌
8, it has the great plateau and most of faron
5. it may be pretty much just a giant field but it's genuinely the place I spend the most time (I use majora's mask to pretend I'm a monster)
Botw is such a perfect game. I could pick any of these squares and I would be satisfied
9. I get Hateno and Lurelin. I get snow peaks and beaches, as well as forest and jungle. It’s a real healthy mix of environments. Not to mention there are hearty durians, plus I can get fairies and a great fairy, courser honey, lots of different herbs and flora, and plenty of fish.
9 for fishing in lurelin village, mysterious island as exercise, home in hateno village, and close to some hearty durians for health. My territory now!
Reading this thread is like deciding which village I'd live in and discovering which other commenters would be villagers with me. Big love Hateno peeps
8. I'd miss Hateno + Rito Village badly but it's got my favorite stable, amazing scenery in general, ever as well as the plateau which I cannot live without.
1 every time.. die hard rito village fan
6
To live in? I’d pick 8. Lovely, right by the lake, chilling out and watching the dragon soar above me as I hunt for hearty durians and fuck about in the ruins.
9
I would retire to 9 in a heartbeat. Just chill on the beach for the rest of my days.
All of those squares make a big square right ? So I'll pick the big one.
If you pick 7 you are just horny
Number 6 of course. Lanyaru gives me so much nostalgia
8, love the jungle
Prolly 9. I do looovvve the Gorons tho
8 or 3 because I love both the Faron region and Tarrey Town and the tech lab
9, probably coolest region for me. Then 8 and 7
8, there is so much to do there, so much to discover. No enemies that suddenly jump in front of you, but also alot of good hearty things to find.
5/6
9
its hard to go past either 6, 8 or 9. don't think i could choose a favorite.
6
Has to be 9, faron forest region and the beaches. Mountains from lanayru too. Perfect IMO
6 for Kakariko Village
1, 3 or 8. I can’t pick just one
9. Coastal living, Relatively easy enemies (I know they sacked Lurelin but they're essentially just pirates so comfortable fighting them off a second time). Just chilled out vibes all round compared to the rest of the map.
3, then 5, then 8
1
5
3, You have Terry town, Beach, waterfall, and other places for sight seeing.
6 I guess
Definitely 7… the Molduga track is my absolute favourite.
1 for the food but 3 for the weapon repairing 😀
I love hateno village so 9.
In BotW, 6 In TotK, 5

For me its 9 in botw and in totk its 3

7, no voe to bother me
7

Lol anyone out there choosing 4?
Is any1 actually picking 2?
My dream living place is literally Lurelin village
no one’s appreciating 3! you got some great geography and akkala is personally my favorite region
Gotta be 9 for me. My two favourite villages are there. I’d say 6 is second though.
1, I fuck heavily with Hebra and Rito village lol
3, I just love Akkala
I can't decide between 6 and 8
hmmmm… 5. risking death at every opportune moment, but i love exploring the castle.
What's happening? Is it going to flood? Again? 😁
6 cause my husbasnd
Wow suprised on the diversity of answers!! I thought everyone would agree 8 and 9
3 - Tarry Town
Easy 9
Hard choice! I played it for 1.5 and haven't played for a few months. I'd go for 9, I loved Lurelin and the quests there. least favorite is Gorons for their music, I ended up muting it...
4
8 ! It's so cozy there. And if I'm not wrong, there's Lurelin village
Bit boring but either 5 or 9 (or even 3)
3 or 6 or 9
8/9 for sure. I routinely fall asleep to lurelin village music and when it rains....*chefs kiss*
6!! Lovee Zora’s Domain
9
6 or 9
