Template:Place Snowpeak is a location in Twilight Princess.

Features

Overview

It is a mountainous region that composes all of the Peak Province, situated in the northwest portion of the Hyrule map. Snowpeak is home to the fifth dungeon of the game, Snowpeak Ruins, and it is mainly inhabited by Ice Keese and White Wolfos, along with two Yetis, Yeto and Yeta. The only entry to Snowpeak, other than warping, is through a small tunnel in Zora's Domain, located in the Lanayru Province. The highest point in Snowpeak is Snowpeak Top, wherein lies a tree with frozen leaves that helps Link race down the hill to Snowpeak Ruins.

History

Snowpeak 2

A general view of Snowpeak

After learning from the Sages that one of the shards of the Mirror of Twilight is located in Snowpeak, Link and Midna head off to the area to try and find some clues.[1] However, the pair encounter Ashei near the entrance to Snowpeak, who tells them that a beast has been frequently seen in Zora's Domain stealing a rare fish known as the Reekfish, found only in the Zoras' home.[2] Hoping that Link will found out more clues about the Snowpeak creature, Ashei hands over a sketch of the "beast" to Link.[3] The young hero then heads off to the Kakariko Graveyard and shows Prince Ralis Ashei's sketch, who immediately recognizes the creature as well as the Reekfish depicted in the drawing.[4] The prince thus provides Link with the Coral Earring, which is a special lure necessary to catch the rare fish.[5]

Catching a Reekfish allows Link to use his wolf olfactory senses to pick up the fish's smell, whose stench eventually leads him to Snowpeak Top where Yeto, the so-called Snowpeak beast, is found. Link tells Yeto of that he is searching for a fragment of the Mirror of Twilight, which prompts the Yeti to invite him to his mansion located at the bottom of Snowpeak, saying that he found a mirror piece earlier on.[6] After snowboarding down the mountain using the frozen leaves of a nearby tree, Link enters the Snowpeak Ruins and ultimately recovers one of the Mirror Shards upon the defeat of Blizzeta.

From this point on, Link will be able to find Yeto and Yeta at Snowpeak Top, where they will offer to race the young hero down the mountain and reward him with a Piece of Heart if he bests both Yeti.[7]

Theoretical Connection & Explanation

Theory Warning

The Snowpeak Mountains are not present in Template:OOT, but are in its successor, Twilight Princess. If viewed from the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess's layout of Hyrule (that which is the most accurate in relation to Ocarina of Time's geographical layout), they would be northwest of Hyrule Castle, beyond the Gerudo Desert. This was an unexplored and undeveloped region in Ocarina of Time, but has now been given its identity by the developers. Snowpeak retroactively probably existed at the time of Ocarina of Time, but had not been explored and settled, and from the information gathered from Twilight Princess, it never really was settled—except for the mansion, which had been abandoned and left to freeze over and ruin.

Alternatively, it could be possible that had Snowpeak appeared in Ocarina of Time, it may have existed adjacent to Zora's Domain, as it does in Twilight Princess. This is backed up by the existence of the Ice Cavern which, like Snowpeak in Twilight Princess, is accessible from the left-hand side of the area.

  1. "Only the true leader of the Twili can utterly destroy the Mirror of Twilight...so Zant could merely break it into pieces. Once broken by magic, the Mirror of Twilight became fragments, which even now lie hidden across the land of Hyrule. One is in the snowy mountain heights... One is in an ancient grove... And one is in the heavens..." — [[A Sage]] (Twilight Princess)
  2. "Apparently, the beast that lives somewhere on this mountain has been seen frequently in Zora's Domain. I was curious, so I came and waited...and as they'd said, a giant appeared! Yeah, it looked like this... Apparently, this thing's been stealing red fish from the village." — Ashei (Twilight Princess)
  3. "The sketch turned out pretty good, though, yeah? Tell you what... You can have it." — Ashei (Twilight Princess)
  4. "Hmm... The beast-man of the snowy mountain...perhaps? But more important is this red fish it is holding... It must be a reekfish. That is a rare specimen found only in the Zora village." — Prince Ralis (Twilight Princess)
  5. "It feeds on a valuable type of coral, and without that bait, even our best fishers cannot catch one. Look closely, [Link]... My earring is made of this coral. I would like to give it to you. I received it from my mother... But it is fine. I no longer need it." — Prince Ralis (Twilight Princess)
