Lance and Arsia made their way towards Lake Hylia. First, they had to ride a raft down the Hylian River, a great river that divided Hyrule into two sections. On one side, there was Death Mountain and the Gerudo Desert. On the other side was The Lost Woods. The river fed into Lake Hylia. Hyrule Castle and Hyrule Castle Town were actually located between two of the largest tributaries of the Giant River. Snowpeak formed a border between Hyrule and the "other lands."
