So, what are some of your favorite places in gaming?

My number one favorite is Earth Song Falls from the Maraudon dungeon in World of Warcraft. Another is the
Eversong Woods, not only for how it looks, but also the haunting and beautiful music that plays in the area.

Ancient Clistern, Forest Temple, and the Lanayru Provence from Zelda are among my list of favorites as well, along with the Farplane

Wow! Great Question! This thread is right up my ally!

Well, as far as fascinating places in video games go nothing beats Myst Island. Not by a mile!

In fact almost any of the 'ages' from the Myst games are spectacular!! If anything beats Myst Island, it's the 5th Age, Riven, from Myst's sequel of the same name. The ages of D'ni, as well as the vast abandoned subterranean city of D'ni itself in the URU spinoff titles are fantastic as well. Nothing like anything else ever seen before!!

There are many areas in Kingdom's of Amalur: Reckoning that are a sight to behold, with tremendous detail and a whimsical fairy tale aesthetic. Lots of vast open stretches of terrain and far off hidden corners.

The Bionis: Xenoblade Chronicles
Blows my mind like you wouldn't believe!! From the Eryth Sea to the impressive expanse of the Bionis Leg to the Makna Forest and Valak Mountain, these fantastic places are the work of dreams. Nightly meteor showers over the waters of the Eryth Sea. Pillars of crystalline light on Valak Mountain. If you have never experienced the pleasure of traversing the wondrous regions of The Bionis, you owe it to yourselves!!

As far as Zelda goes I am highly intrigued by Northern Hyrule Field in the region of the Bridge of Eldin in Twilight Princes. The sands of the Gerudo Desert, Haunted Wasteland and Desert Colossus in Ocarina of Time, the waters of Lake Hylia in TP and the ruins of the temple of time... but most intriguing of all is the enigmatic Forest Temple in Ocarina of Time. Such a bizarre and compelling place. That surreal forest mansion is by far my most explored dungeon. I return again and again just to take a look around.

I really liked Shinshu Field from Okami. I liked the watercolor art style of the game overall, and Shinshu Field just had a really nice soundtrack to boot.

and Outset Island from Wind Waker. I really liked the crisp, clean graphics and the carefree atmosphere.

I also like Treat Land and all the stages within it from Kirby: Epic Yarn :)

My favorite places would be the Clock Tower in Majora's Mask and the little chase-scene area at the beginning of Majora's Mask, before you fall into the hole.
