![]() Many Loruleans greatly resemble their Hyrulean counterparts, such as Ravio and Princess Hilda, who both greatly look like their counterparts Link and Princess Zelda. ![]() Similar to the populace in Termina, Loruleans are the humanoid, and non-humanoid, counterparts of those in Hyrule. Furthermore, Lorule more closely adheres to Hyrule in regards to its counterparts of Hyrule Castle and Link's house, which are Lorule Castle and the Vacant House. Less significantly, Lorule's Turtle Rock is an artificial turtle-shaped island in the middle of its Lake Hylia, and its Death Mountain is a frozen hinterland topped by the Ice Ruins, effectively switching the places of the Dark World's Turtle Rock and Ice Palace. This disintegration eventually begins to reverse with the revival of the kingdom's own Triforce. Due to the destruction of its Triforce, the very land itself is crumbling, causing it to be marked by gigantic canyons that separate the kingdom into seven distinct regions making travel more difficult. Lorule is extraordinarily similar to Hyrule's Dark World, although it has both its own unique features as well as locations more similar to those of the Light World than the Dark. Rupees are accepted in Ravio's Shop and several other shops around Lorule, and are scattered throughout the land. Some, such as green, blue or yellow Rupees are worth less than rarer Rupees as red, purple, orange, silver or gold. Several color and size variations are used to denote values. Lorule's official currency is a small jewel-like object known as the Rupee, which is also used in Hyrule. Back in Lorule's Sacred Realm, as Hilda and Ravio turn to leave and watch the dimming of their world, both are shocked and overjoyed to see their world's Triforce restored as a result of the wish Link and Zelda made upon Hyrule's Triforce, thus saving and restoring Lorule. Once home again in their own world, Link and Zelda resolve to make a wish upon the reformed Triforce together to grant Princess Hilda and her world a parting gift. The pair took Link and Zelda to their world's version of the Sacred Realm and sent them home from there. ![]() Finally brought to her senses, Hilda realizes her error and resolves to do the right thing alongside Ravio to return Link, Zelda, and their Triforce to their homeland, even if this meant the end of their own world. This released Hilda, who though shaken was ready to once again attempt to take the Triforce pieces from Link and Zelda, until Ravio, Link's Lorulean counterpart who had once served Princess Hilda before fleeing in cowardice, returns to talk sense into the princess and help her see that stealing Hyrule's Triforce would bring out the worst in Lorule. Energized by the Triforce of Power and the Triforce of Wisdom, Yuga once again battled Link in an attempt to take the Triforce of Courage from him, but was ultimately defeated by the young hero wielding the Master Sword. Once Link manages to defeat Yuga, Hilda orders Yuga to hand over the Triforce of Power, but he then betrays Hilda and takes from her the Triforce of Wisdom she had taken from Zelda as he had no interest in saving her crumbling kingdom and would rather remake it in his image. This time, however, it is revealed that Hilda is the true mastermind behind all of this, and she orders Yuga to get Link's Triforce of Courage. Link then rescues all the Sages from each of the dungeons in Lorule with Hilda as his guide and adquires the Triforce of Courage in order to face Yuga at Lorule Castle once more. Fusing with the Demon King, Yuga fights Link until Hilda appears and uses her power to hold Yuga still so Link could escape the battle safely. Yuga then successfully captures each of the Seven Sages, including Princess Zelda (keeper of the Triforce of Wisdom), and, at Hilda's command, eventually breaks the seal placed on Ganon's spirit so as to access the Triforce of Power he held. Desperate to save her people, she conceives an elaborate plan with Yuga to steal Hyrule's Triforce, knowing it would condemn the land to Lorule's fate. In A Link Between Worlds, Hilda, the current princess of Lorule, learns of the existence of Hyrule and its Triforce.
