“Here?” Link looked down from the edge of the plateau of Hyrule
Field. Beyond the long, steep descent below, the land sharply leveled
off and curved around an enormous lake, Lake Hylia. It seemed to stretch
on, flat and dark, with no end in sight. Nestled next to the lake was
Laryu, the only lakeside town. Even from this distance its considerable
size was clear; it could easily boast a population of over two thousand.
Where it was not bordered by the black lake, it was wrapped by a tall,
thin wall. Inside the very buildings seemed glow in gold warmth, spotted
frequently with white and yellow lights.
