Faron Province is part of the province system in Twilight Princess. It is located north of the Ordona Province, southwest of the Eldin Province and is situated at the southern part of the map. Named after the Light Spirit Faron, the province includes the Faron Woods, the Forest Temple, part of Hyrule Field, and the Sacred Grove, which also houses the Temple of Time. This is the second province Link visits during his journey as it is directly connected to the Ordona Province.
History
Link first enters the Faron Province while it is covered in Twilight, and after recovering light to the area, he sets off to the Forest Temple to retrieve the first Fused Shadow. Later on in the game, having been permanently transformed into a wolf due to Zant's Shadow Crystal, the young hero must return to the Faron Woods to enter the Sacred Grove and retrieve the Master Sword in order to return to his human form. Eventually, Link will have to once again visit the Sacred Grove and enter the Temple of Time and receive the Mirror Shard upon the defeat of Armogohma.
During the ending credits, Link is seen riding away from the province's woods while riding Epona.

Trivia
- The name Faron most likely comes from the name of one of the Goddesses, Farore. Curiously, the large Hylian text on the map translates to "faronc", appearing to be a simple mistranslation.
- Interestingly enough, as the Hylian symbol for the letter "C" is but one stroke away from the Hylian symbol for "E", the word on the map potentially spells out "Farone". This is one letter away from "Farore", which is the Spanish name for her.
