Hidden Village

A barren, western-style town, the Hidden Village was once occupied by protectors of the Royal Family of Hyrule. Impaz, an old woman named after the original proprietress of the town, lives there in solitude under Royal Decree. Since it was abandoned, the town has been overrun by a band of Bulblins, who constantly patrol the area, stopping Impaz from ever leaving her home. It could be concluded that this village is the original Kakariko Village from the time of the Imprisoning War, as it was founded by a Sheikah, Impa, and resides in a similar location. Such a theory gains strength when translating the Hylian language in the Hidden Village, as one billboard says "Welcome to Old Kakariko". However, this may mean that there were three or more Kakariko Villages, since the one from the Imprisoning War was where Impa was "born and raised", and therefore couldn't have been the founder.

Other than Impaz and the Bulblins, dozens of cats inhabit the village. A Howling Stone is found in the village. During the Twili Invasion, the only entrance into the town was blocked by a massive boulder. Darbus, leader of the Gorons, was able to break through.

Ilia spent some time here with Impaz. She left the Horse Call with her, which was instrumental in restoring her memory.
