The geography of Hyrule includes locations such as the wild marshlands of Castor Wilds, the rocky Mount Crenel, and the eerie Royal Valley. Hyrule Field is divided into sectors, and locations such as Lon Lon Ranch and Hyrule Town serve as major populated areas. Another recurring locale is the classic home of the Royal Family of Hyrule, Hyrule Castle. A large part of the Map is also covered in clouds and is known as the Cloud Tops. This is the home of the Wind Tribe and the location of the Palace of Winds.

Hyrule Castle Garden is located within the walls of Hyrule Castle in northern Hyrule. It connects to one other area: North Hyrule Field to the south.

Hyrule Castle is home to the Elemental Sanctuary that links Hyrule to the Minish Realm. The Palace Courtyard is an area located within Hyrule Castle, on the first basement floor. The Minish Door appears within it once every one hundred years, serving as an entrance to the Elemental Sanctuary and a bridge between Hyrule and the Minish Realm.

Hyrule Town is located in central Hyrule in The Minish Cap. It connects to four other areas: Lon Lon Ranch to the east, North Hyrule Field to the north, South Hyrule Field to the south, and Trilby Highlands to the west. The Town contains residential houses, a Shop, a Library, a School, a Bakery, a Cafe, an Inn, a Post Office, and a Figurine Gallery. The center square of the Town is predominately the settlement's market place, featuring a few stalls run by merchants and several shop buildings around the area. Merchants come to this square to sell their wares, which eventually includes Beedle, who sells Picolyte, and a Goron Merchant, who sells Kinstone Pieces. The mayor of Hyrule Town is Mayor Hagen.

A large number of Forest Picori live in the Minish Village found here as well as various private mushrooms and ground cracks about the woods. Notable inhabitants include Festari, who speaks the human language, and Gentari, the Minish elder. Just north of the Village lies the Deepwood Shrine, where Link finds the Earth Element. Just outside of the Village is the Bomb-maker and inventor Belari's house.

The Minish Village is located in the Minish Woods, and is the capital of Hyrule's Minish world. Hyrule's original population of Minish founded this Village, which continues to thrive today, although many Minish have relocated outside of the Minish Woods since then. All Minish, since their expansion, categorize themselves based on location: those still living within the confines of the Minish Village call themselves Forest Picori, as do the many living in the outskirts and about the Minish Woods. The Forest Picori are supervised by their elder, Gentari. The architecture of the Minish Village ranges from hollowed out Barrels, habitable shoes, and mushrooms – anything in the area big enough to support the sedentary, minimalist Minish lifestyle. The Minish Village's existence is a secret to all but those with close ties to the Royal Family of Hyrule.

They can only be accessed by the native Wind Tribe and "surface dwellers" who are "pure of heart". The Cloud Tops surround the Home of the Wind Tribe.

The Royal Valley is located in northwestern Hyrule. It connects to two other areas: North Hyrule Field to the southeast and Trilby Highlands to the south. The Valley is known for its eerie atmosphere and its dark, foggy climate. Little natural light enters the Valley, so light from a Flame Lantern is used to make headway. The Trees are bleak and decaying, presumably from the lack of sunlight. The entire valley is infested with Takkuri, which roost in the Trees, and ghostly Ghini. The Valley also contains a forest maze. Going down at any part of the maze causes a traveler to leave the forest and return to the starting point. To correctly navigate it, One must obtain directions from signs along the way. Dampé, the only living Human inhabitant, lives on the other side of the maze and tends to the Graveyard. The Graveyard contains the Royal Crypt, a tomb belonging to Gustaf, a former King of Hyrule.

The Great Mayfly Fairy is also found here, as well as the reclusive Crenel Hermit; both live high up on the Crenel Wall. Lastly, one of the nine Blade Brothers, Grayblade, is also found by scaling the walls of Mount Crenel on the southeastern side. Mount Crenel employs the use of blue and green beanstalks to ascend further up the mountainside, the green of which cannot be grown with simple water, but must be supplied with Mt. Crenel Mineral Water gathered from the natural hot spring at the base of the mountain. Mount Crenel was once home to the Gorons before their numbers began to dwindle. Near the top of the mountain is a human mine called the Cave of Flames.

The Elemental Sanctuary is the gateway between the Minish Realm and Hyrule. The entrance to the Elemental Sanctuary is located within the Palace Courtyard of Hyrule Castle and opens only once every hundred years. Apparently, it is only visible to children, and as such, not many even know of its existence. In the center of the main room stands a pedestal for infusing the Four Elements into the White Sword to create the Four Sword. A hidden room in the back also contains a set of stained glass windows which tell the story of the Light Force, the Hero of Men, and the Picori Blade.

The Throne Room is located within Hyrule Castle. King Daltus resides within it until he is turned to stone by Vaati, who takes his place. Minister Potho and {character} are also found here.

Minister Potho is the minister to the Kingdom of Hyrule. He is a short man with white hair only on the sides with a bald top, a large white mustache, and large glasses.

Held in Hyrule Town, the Festival includes a Sword-Fighting Tournament wherein the winner is allowed to touch the sacred Picori Blade.

Deepwood Shrine was once used by both Humans and Minish as a meeting place. The Deepwood Shrine is a Minish-sized Dungeon that shows many signs of being long abandoned, due to the large amount of cobwebs lining the walls. The main room in the Dungeon houses a large Barrel mounted horizontally on a pole.
