hilda and lorule are parallells / counterparts to zelda and hyrule. they are not the same, and don't have similar cultures or powers to each other. i've kind of made lorule to mirror hyrule instead.

since these two worlds are linked, lorule has existed as long as hyrule has. while hyrule rose and prospered with light, most of lorule was consumed by greed and darkness, hence why the destruction was happening… they treated their triforce badly, so they paid the ultimate prize :(

we all know legend of zelda is inspired by medieval europe, and zelda mostly medieval germany and the area surrounding it… i have strayed from that part completely. <3

in my portrayal, hilda and lorule are inspired by medieval middle east (i say middle east, as i don't just draw inspiration from one specific country or dynasty. i'm using all of mena region. as most of the folklore and cultures are similar in those countries, i'm picking and mixing a lot from them to create my own little… world, if it can be put that way?

mena = middle east and north africa (if you guys didn't know)...

i'm not that familiar with north african folklore and mythology, so i will do a lot of research about maghrebi culture to be as accurate as possible :) some inspiration will be taken from al-andalus as well... again, i will do my research <3

in all that, one specific region sticks out more than the rest: ancient persia. i freaking love ancient persia...

since i myself am from this region, and while i do have a lot of knowledge regarding the folklore and mythology, i still do my research and try to be as accurate as possible. i'm human, and i do and will make mistakes, so i do apologize in advance if i say something not accurate :') don't be afraid to correct me!
