The Great Plateau is the starting region of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. After [[Link]] leaves the [[Shrine of Resurrection]], he will appear in the Great Plateau. The area is locked in by large cliffs and Link will be unable to leave the region until he acquires the [[Paraglider]] from the [[Old Man]].
The '''Great Plateau''' is the starting area of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', and reappears in ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom|Tears of the Kingdom]]''. The area is a large expanse that covers various different terrains as well as being raised above the ground level of the rest of the world.
 
==''Breath of the Wild''==
The Great Plateau contains the [[Shrine of Resurrection]] where [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] first awakens and the [[Great Plateau Tower]]. Since the Great Plateau is surrounded by high cliffs, Link is unable to leave the area until he acquires the [[Paraglider]] from the [[Old Man]].
 
As part of the second [[Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass|DLC]] ([[The Champions' Ballad]]) Link can return to the Great Plateau and to the [[Shrine of Resurrection]] where he is given [[Monk Maz Koshia]]'s [[EX The Champions' Ballad]] quest.
 
===Description===
The northeast half of the plateau is a temperate area with various woods and ponds. It features the ruins of the [[Temple of Time (Breath of the Wild)|Temple of Time]] and its surrounding buildings, as well as traces of cobblestone pathways on its northeast area and the ruins of the [[Eastern Abbey]]. The only habitable building is the [[Old Man]]'s hut on the southeast of the lower plateau. The Temple of Time is surrounded by the inert husks of attacking [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardian]]s.
 
On the northeast, between the [[Great Plateau Tower]] and the [[Oman Au Shrine]] there's a small, long lake that ends on the walls of the plateau. It's assumed that this was the entrance to the plateau, which was plugged shut with rocks and subsequently flooded, and that as such, the enemies found in the plateau are remnants that were left stranded in it. It's not known under what circumstances this happened, or how the battle in the plateau transpired.
 
The southwest half of the plateau is cold and snowy, featuring an extreme change in weather in spite of the negligible difference in altitude compared to the rest of the plateau, especially the area behind the [[Shrine of Resurrection]]. Its main geographical features are the frigid [[River of the Dead]] and [[Mount Hylia]], the latter whose summit is marked by a pileup of rocks assumed to be the tomb of [[King Rhoam]].
 
The area's main enemies are [[Bokoblin]]s, though there are [[Decayed Guardian]]s in the Eastern Abbey ruins, as well as a [[Stone Talus]] in the [[Forest of Spirits]]. There are no [[Lizalfos]] or [[Moblin]]s in the plateau, though some are shown in ''The Champions' Ballad'' [[Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass|DLC]]. [[Stalkoblin]]s are a common threat at night.
 
In [[Master Mode]], there's a [[White-Maned Lynel]] southeast of the Temple of Time.

===Nearby Korok Seeds===
'''Note:''' These seeds represent only the seeds closest to the Great Plateau Landmark (where the word Great Plateau is written on the in-game map.) For a listing of nearby seeds, see each Landmark's page, or refer to the [[Great Plateau Tower]] page for a list of all landmarks revealed by that tower. If you're looking for a list of the 18 seeds found in the region revealed by the Great Plateau Tower (3 of which can only be accessed after you get the Paraglider), see our walkthrough page for [https://www.zeldadungeon.net/breath-of-the-wild-walkthrough/korok-seed-locations/great-plateau-korok-seed-locations Great Plateau Korok Seed Locations].

The second Korok Seed that can be acquired in the game is available just past the pond of the first Korok Seed to the Temple of Time. There is a ladder on the other side of the building that you can climb to get to the roof. Head to the north to reach the steeple, then proceed to climb on top of it and up the rod. There you will see something sparkling in the air by you. Click to examine it to find the Korok.

===Trivia===
* The Great Plateau is the smallest unlockable region overall in the map, and the only region where Link is required to unlock the [[Sheikah Tower]] and [[map]].
* It shares similarities in shape and geographic features with the [[Great Hyrule Forest]].
* The plateau has paradoxical geographic and climactic features, implying that its placement may have been artificial in nature. It effectively has its own contained ecosystem.
* The plateau is the only area in Hyrule completely devoid of [[Stable]]s, and lodging until is cleared; clearance of the plateau makes the bed at the [[Woodcutter's House]] available for free. One of the most important pitfalls related to the former is the summoning of [[Epona]] through the use of an [[Amiibo]]. If Epona is summoned in the plateau, she cannot be registered at a stable and she'd be stranded, as there are no routes down the cliffs of the plateau that one can navigate with a horse.
* It's one of the regions of Hyrule which is devoid of physical [[Malice]]. Also, no [[Blood Moon]]s may occur while ''[[The Isolated Plateau]]'' quest hasn't been completed. After it has been completed, you must leave the plateau for them to occur. It will never rain on the plateau until the quest is completed. There are also no [[Yiga Clan]]smen found there.
* Until the [[Great Plateau Tower]] is activated and you have spoken to the [[Old Man]], the Great Plateau will remain in permanent daylight.
* Clearance of the Plateau will start presenting weather in said location. Until then, no rain or snow may happen there.
* Aside from DLC-related quests and items, and to scavenge for resources and [[Korok Seed]]s, there's little to no necessity to return to the plateau in the base game.
* As shown by [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJg4D26QrEU this video], the Great Plateau somewhat resembles the Hyrule [[Castle Town]] from Ocarina of Time. The fountain square mostly matches up in appearance, even if it is almost entirely in ruins. When lining up the map of Castle Town with that of the Great Plateau, most landmarks will fit perfectly, such as the Temple of Time and the passageway that lead to Hyrule Castle. The archway from Ocarina of Time is there, broken, and the subsequent path to the Castle (now the [[Eastern Abbey]]) is also very similar to that which Link must take while avoiding the guards' sight in Ocarina of Time.

==''Tears of the Kingdom''==
The Great Plateau is located just south of [[Hyrule Field (Tears of the Kingdom)|Hyrule Field]] and can be initially accessed by multiple paths. At the northeast end of the Great Plateau, near the [[Gatepost Town Ruins]], there is a pile of boulders that Link can break. Once broken, water will flow out. Link will then be able to walk up, onto the Great Plateau.
 
Alternatively, Link can enter the [[Great Plateau Foothill Cave]] at the north end of the Great Plateau and then use [[Ascend]] to reach the surface.
 
The [[Yiga Clan]] have now completely occupied the Great Plateau, using [[Woodcutter's House|King Rhoam's old cabin]] as one of their new bases, where they are holding [[Pitar]] hostage and forcing him to make [[Yiga Mask]]s for them.
 
===Chasms===
There are four [[Chasm]]s on the Great Plateau leading down to the [[Depths]]. This includes the [[Great Plateau North Chasm]], [[Great Plateau West Chasm]], [[Great Plateau South Chasm]], and [[Great Plateau East Chasm]].
