Real-World Zelda-Sounding Places

[MattWalker]

Hey folks. Something cool I just thought of.

On our moon (yes, Earth's physical, actual moon - not Termina's. ), there are a few locations that sound like they totally could be from a Zelda game.

The famous one being 'The Sea of Tranquility.' Then, there's the 'Ocean of Storms,' There's 'Shadow Rock,' and many others.

The purpose of this thread is this: Can you think of any real world exampls of Epic-sounding locations that sound like they could be the name of a Zelda location? Just thought this would be fun.

The Dead Sea has always sounded like a Zelda location to me.

All the deserts in the U.S seem like the desert in OoT. Like the Hero in Green had said the dead sea also seems like a Zelda location to me.

Lakewood Forest - a subdivision in northwest Houston.

And the Utah Jazz (basketball) used to play at an arena called the Salt Palace .. that would make for an interesting dungeon, lol.

Lakeside City (a suburb of Wichita Falls TX) is about the size of Hyrule Castle Town from OoT (seriously. It's tiny). And it does continue a trend of "lakeside/lake[place]" objects. The lakeside lab, the lakeside cannon, the lakebed temple, the lakeside spring (Lanayru's), you get the idea?

Enchanted Valley - Another NW Houston subdivision
Garden of the Gods - Located in Colorado

 

[Shadsie]

Monument Valley - Arizona
The Superstition Mountains - Arizona (there are reasons they're named that).
Newtown - Pennsylvania (town I live in. "New Town" is kind of like "Castle Town" ).

 

[insanity76]

Emerald Bay - Off Lake Tahoe. And if you look at a picture of it, the location as well as the name IMO would make for a good Zelda area (imagine the area's dungeon located on the tiny island in the middle of the bay, and needing to find a way to get to it)

Ayer's Rock -Australia

Painted Desert-Arizona

Isle of Man-Atlantic ocean

the Ring of Fire-A chain of volcanic/Tectonic activity surrounding the Pacific Ocean

Island of Winds*-(Insula Ventorum)- on the Moon.

Forest of Dean-Gloucestershire, England

Several Real-world seas might fit the bill: Mirtoon Sea, Alboran Sea, Sea of Sardinia, Bay of Bothnia, Sea of Aland, Marmara Sea, Sea of Azov, Black, Red, Yellow Sea, Aral Sea

* anyone remember this place?
