Hyrule (Total War)

Not to be confused with the Kingdom of Hyrule.

The continent of Greater Hyrule is one of the five main settings of Hyrule: Total War and its expansions, the other ones being the Realm of Twilight (another planet in the cosmos), Termina (a dark reflection of Hyrule created by Majora), The Great Sea (expansion), and Subrosia.

History
Main article: Hyrule Historia

Hyrule is the creation of the three Golden Goddesses: Din, Nayru and Farore. The world eventually attracted the attention of the Druthulidi Majora, who meddled and corrupted their work. The result was the creation of Termina, a warped parallel of Hyrule that could be entered after death. Frustrated that their new work was tampered with, the Goddesses proceeded to force Majora into Termina and banished him from Hyrule, threatening to destroy him if he ever returned. Angered with their hostility, Majora set out to destroy and corrupt any further creations of the Goddesses and made others of its kind aware of Hyrule's existence.

The Druthulidi across the cosmos then arrived at Hyrule and began to fight with one another for control of Hyrule, their titanic conflict shaping and ravaging the world. Eventually the Goddesses created the First Sages and with them destroyed many of these beings. Some such as Majora, Demise, and Dethl managed to escape their wrath and hide themselves. As a result of this conflict the Goddesses created the Triforce, an artefact that would give life to the world and maintain beings that would fight the Druthulidi and uphold their laws and desires, before leaving Hyrule.
