This region of Hyrule lies just north of Hyrule Castle. Here you’ll find the Sanctuary, where the good people of Hyrule go to worship, along with the Graveyard, which lies right near the Sanctuary. (Rumor has it there’s a secret passage in the Graveyard that leads into the Sanctuary.) Cross the wooden bridge to the east of the Graveyard and then go north along the river, and you’ll arrive at the Witch’s House. Here you may purchase powerful potions in exchange for the various monster parts you discover while slaying enemies. After you clear the Eastern Palace, Link gains the ability to merge and cross the river to the east of the Witch’s House—this lets him make his way to Zora’s Domain, where the Zora Queen, Oren, lives.
