What is Your Favorite Location in Twilight Princess

[Spiritual Mask Salesman]

This is inspired by a Shoutbox convo last night. Twilight Princess was the first 3D Zelda game that really felt like it had varying geographic locations set in Hyrule. There are quite a bit of cool locations in the game, and I'm wondering which is your favorite? Imagine you were in Link's shoes in Twilight Princess' Hyrule, where is your scenic chill spot?

Maybe you'd hang out in one of the Hot Springs with the Gorons? Go sledding with Yeto? Or hang out a top the Zora's Domain waterfall as you watch the sun set? I'm interested to hear everyone's thoughts!

Top of the waterfall at the entrance to Zora's Domain. I love the music there and I love watching the sunset there.

I really love how the Zoras glow at night too. They're so cool in TP.

I'm on team Fishing Hole for this one. Very few areas in the series evoke such a serene feeling, which is even further amplified by the changing of seasons in the area (although I guess on one hand its a bit of a whiplash when no other area changes seasons in the game ). It is a place where the player can just kick back and relax without worrying about the state of Hyrule; enjoying the calming waters and fishing to one's content whether you're on your own or fishing with the help of the friendly gal inside the fishing hut!

Kakariko Village. I love how it has this rustic, worn-down, Wild West-style to it. It's unlike anything else in the series, really.

Great idea for a thread!

I love, love, love Lake Hylia. The atmosphere mixed with the music is relaxing and just overall amazing to me.

 

[Echolight]

exactly where LegendofMeesh said.

Lake Hylia and Zora's domain of course!! I love the zora's because they just have just a beautiful atmosphere to them. And the music is amazing, plus there is water, so it is the perfect place to relax. <3

I'm gonna stick with Sheikah. Kakariko village has a lot of things to do. Climbing on roof tops, the heart piece, the sniping minigames and stuff. I also like Lake Hylia it has 3 arcades, Nayru's hideout and most importantly a badass cave.

Snowpeak, which may sound contradictory since some people here know my thoughts on winter but hear me out. Snowpeak is one of the quietest and most beautiful areas of the game, with a nice soundtrack to hold it together. The Yetis are the best characters in the game, Snowpeak Ruins is the best dungeon in the game, and the skier in me just loves to imagine being able to race Yeto and Yeta down the trail. It's a real shame this area is only important for one part of the game, it had so much potential.

 

[GrooseIsLoose]

Snowpeak Ruins is the best dungeon in the game

I definitely agree with that

to race Yeto and Yeta down the trail

This is a great minigame.
I'm still working on this minigame Yeta always overtakes me in the end.

Though I did like the second half of the snow peak , I didn't like the part before Yeto where you have to walk.

Whew~ Man, what a thread! Twilight Princess features the best locations in the whole series. Choosing an answer is gonna be hard...

Lake Hylia, Zora's Domain and Snowpeak are great answers! I just wish there was more to Snowpeak. Snowpeak Ruins is an awesome location.

Eldin Field is impressive, lying there beneath the imposing caldera of Death Mountain with its astounding panoramic view, massive crevasses, distant wooded field, mysterious ruins and of course the majestic Eldin Bridge. It also features a surreal view of Hyrule Castle encased in its golden barrier. A nice little touch I always admired was the solitary mine shaft in the distant inaccessible cliffs across the crevas that delves into the bowls of Death Mountain. It lends a sense of interconnectedness between the lands of Hyrule that is woefully absent from much of the series but that is very prevalent in Twilight Princess.

But if I had to pick one location, it would have to be the forest. It is a lost otherworldly place seeped in atmosphere. Just being there, anyone can get the feeling of some sort of connection to a long forgotten past. Being there feels like standing all alone on the edge of time itself. Somehow, the forest seems steeped in Hyrule's history. And, of course, it is the forgotten resting place of the legendary Temple of Time and the Blade of Evil's Bane. The furthest reaches of the forest, the Lost Woods and Temple of Time feel like no other being - save for the enigmatic Skull Kid - has tread foot there in ages.

It is a mystical, alien local that at the same time feels uncannily familiar.

Zora's Domain and Lake Hylia. I love both locations so much. It's beautiful and it has some relaxing music and mood in it. I can spend hours only being there

 

[mαrkαsscoρ]

EASILY the fishing hole, for a few years during the 2010s I always had my save allocated to the upper zora river just so I can enter the fishing hole

 

[TheGreatCthulhu]

Lake Hylia, and the Fishing Hole.

Mostly because of the nice locales and beautiful music.

 

[Fraxinus]

Fishing hole for me too. It has more vibrant colors than the rest of the game, and it's the perfect environment for chilling. Zora's Domain is also up there; I love the fossiliferous cliffsides.

So in the OP I didn't answer my own question, because it's honestly so hard for me to choose. But after some thought I recalled my fave spot!

Zora's Domain is it for me, hands down - but I actually have a specfic area there that I could end up staying at for long periods of time. Near the top of the waterfall there is a stair case blocked by a boulder, once you bomb past it and follow the path down there is a ledge with these amazing pillers, and multiple small water streams flow down laden with the sparkles of the sun or moon light. It's positively beautiful!
