While it’s unconfirmed whether or not the ruins of the Arbiter’s Grounds in Breath of the Wild are, in fact, the same Arbiter’s Grounds as the dungeon from Twilight Princess, fans speculate that the two may share a connection beyond their name.

However, regardless of their true nature on Zelda's timeline, these Easter eggs can pack a nostalgic punch and remind players of some of their favorite places and people from the rest of the series. While some locations only reference a character by name, others are faithful replicas of entire areas found in other games, leading some to believe that these areas are, in fact, the same locations, or retain some connection throughout different times in Hyrule’s history.

With the ambiguous nature of the Zelda timeline and Breath of the Wild's place within it, it’s nearly impossible to tell whether these Easter egg areas are little more than Nintendo’s loving callbacks to past games, or if they carry greater significance. Related: Zelda: Why Breath of the Wild's Timeline Placement Isn't Specific These Easter eggs may just be Nintendo’s way of incorporating nostalgia into their game design, but it’s also possible that the nomenclature of these locations suggests that Hyrule’s lore lives on in-game in the culture of each iteration of Zelda’s setting. Even the Divine Beasts’ names are derived from heroes and champions of Hyrule’s past, such as Vah Ruta’s reference to Ocarina of Time’s Princess Ruto and Vah Rudania’s anagram name of Darunia, the Goron chief. Many locations in Breath of the Wild’s Hyrule are named after characters of the past, and the developers often include environmental details that make the connection clearer. Breath of the Wild focuses heavily on environmental storytelling, weaving much of its own lore into Hyrule itself as well as the numerous Easter eggs that can be found throughout the world. As Nintendo has stated rather ambiguously that BOTW is situated at the end of Zelda’s timeline, it makes sense for its iteration of Hyrule to be full of references, connections, and even some areas that are nearly identical to those of other games. The Legend of Zelda franchise is famously nostalgic as it continually references its own titles, lore, and characters with each new game, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has more Easter eggs than any other title.
