Dark World (A Link to the Past)

The Dark World is a location from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It is a dark, twisted version of the Light World, and is where the second half of the game takes place. Geographically, the Dark World is very similar to the Light World.

Pyramid of Power
The Pyramid of Power is a gargantuan pyramid situated at the very center of the Dark World; the dark equivalent of Hyrule Castle. When he is transported to the Dark World after defeating Agahnim for the first time, Link starts the second part of his adventure at the apex of the pyramid. After Agahnim is defeated for the second time, Ganondorf leaves his host and flees to the Pyramid of Power, challenging Link to a decisive battle within the pyramid.

Eastern Ruins
The Eastern Ruins are located in the eastern area of the Dark World. The most prominent feature of this area is a huge hedge maze that Link must traverse in order to enter the first dungeon in the Dark World; the Palace of Darkness.

Skull Woods
Skull Woods is a forest located where the Lost Woods were found in the Light World. This dark forest is constantly filled with fog and skeletal remains are abound in this area.

Village of Outcasts
The Village of Outcasts is the only settlement of the Dark World; its equivalent of Kakariko Village. The village is populated by various enemies including Ghosts. Many of the houses have been destroyed, but a few remain standing, often containing Treasure Chests filled with large quantities of Rupees or mini-games.
