Lake Hylia in the NES Games[]
It seems that Lake Hylia featured in both Loz and Aol: Zelda.com. I think this was it in LoZ:
With the entrances to Eagle Labyrinth & Demon Labyrinth
Any ideas in AoL, I can't see it on this map:

- Hmm... I guess that could be considered Lake Hylia, but as it wasn't called that outside of the Zelda site (which tends to get a lot of things wrong), I don't think it should be in the article. Hisak 21:13, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe we should put a brief mention in, citing the above info from the zelda site, with a note explaining that the lake is never named elsewhere; for the sake of completeness (it is our featured article after all!) --Adam 07:17, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- Lake Hylia in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is in the same place as it was in The Legend of Zelda; it's that little blob of blue south-east of Spectacle Rock. Rob 64 03:24, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
- Actually that's not Lake Hylia, according to page 61 of the Encyclopedia. It's actually part of the river flowing from Zora's Waterfall south of the Church and Cemetary. --Mysterii bousuguru (talk) 05:03, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
- Page 61 doesn't say that it isn't Lake Hylia. It basically suggests that The Legend of Zelda takes place mostly within the Death Mountain area of A Link Between Worlds, which means it can't the same Lake Hylia seen in the other games. However, on page 144, it states that the entrance to Level 1 of The Legend of Zelda is cut into a large tree that can be "found by crossing a long bridge over Lake Hylia". So, it is Lake Hylia but it not the same lake. User:Link Lab/sig 13:37, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
Does anyone disagree with my addition to the Lake Hylia article? "Since Twilight Princess is a sequel to Ocarina of Time, similarities can be seen between the two Lake Hylias. For example, the Water Temple islet from Ocarina of Time is present in Twilight Princess, although the tree atop has long since died, and is in advanced stages of decay, and the Water Temple has been blocked off, with the entrance becoming Lanayru's Shrine. The lakeside laboratory has become part of Fyer and Falbi's Watertop Land of Fantastication, and a bridge has been built from the area which, in Ocarina of Time, had featured numerous rock pillars and an entrance to Zora's Domain. This bridge, the Great Hylian Bridge, links to the Water Temple islet, and over into the Faron province." Rob 64 03:33, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Of course, this resemblance is a lot clearer if you own the canonical GCN version of Twilight Princess. Rob 64 18:44, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
