Ordon

Ordon is a fictional village featured in Nintendo's popular video game series, The Legend of Zelda. It first appeared in the Nintendo GameCube and Wii title, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Ordon is situated in a peaceful, rural region of Hyrule, characterized by rolling hills, lush forests, and the Ordon River. The villagers are primarily farmers, shepherds, and artisans, living a simple life closely connected to nature.

The village serves as Link's home and starting point in Twilight Princess. Players are introduced to the inhabitants and their daily routines before the narrative takes a dramatic turn. Key locations within Ordon include the Ordon Ranch, where Link works as a ranch hand, and the Ordon Spring, a sacred place often visited by the villagers. The initial hours of the game are spent in Ordon, allowing players to acclimate to the game's mechanics and establish a connection with Link's community. The peaceful atmosphere of Ordon starkly contrasts with the encroaching twilight and the dangers that soon threaten Hyrule, making its eventual endangerment a significant motivator for Link's quest. Ordon represents a return to the simpler, idyllic beginnings often found in Link's adventures, providing a grounded starting point before the epic journey unfolds.
