New Hyrule

New Hyrule is the land where the story of The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks unfolds. After the flooding of the original Kingdom of Hyrule by the Great Sea, Link, Tetra, and her band of pirates set out to find new land; not to be the old Hyrule, but a new land of their own. Eventually, they came upon a suitable land, christening it New Hyrule and reinstating the Hyrulean monarchy.

Some time before the arrival of Tetra and her crew a war was fought in the land between the Demon King Malladus and a group of Deities known as the Spirits of Good. The Spirits were successful in subduing their enemy, but could not destroy him. The Demon King was sealed deep beneath the earth; giant shackles were forged and a huge Tower of Spirits acting as a lock was erected to maintain the seal on the Demon King. However, the power of the Spirits was depleted during the battle with the Demon King, and they ascended to the heavens, leaving New Hyrule, now bereft of spirits and demons, in the hands of the original settlers who were watched over by the Lokomo. As time passed, the land became a prosperous kingdom, and the chains used to bind the Demon King became tracks for a new technological marvel, the train. During the events of the game, the land is ruled by Princess Zelda, a member of the Royal Family of Hyrule.
