Lorule’s massive central region is the largest in the land, and the first one Link enters upon visiting Lorule for the first time. This region includes Thieves’ Town (Lorule’s version of Kakariko Village), Lorule Castle, the Blacksmith’s Forge, the Fortune-Teller’s tent, the Vacant House (Lorule’s version of Link’s House), the Rupee Rush minigame, the Bomb Shop, the Octoball Derby field, AND the Southern Ruins. With so much ground to cover, Link is sure to discover all sorts of cool stuff around this region. The Thieves’ Hideout dungeon is located in Thieves’ Town, while the Swamp Palace dungeon is down in the Southern Ruins area. Be sure to visit the Bomb Shop south of Thieves’ Town and use Big Bomb Flowers to blast away this region’s large cracked rocks—you’ll discover even more cool stuff!
