How Long to WALK ACROSS HYRULE in Tears of the Kingdom?

I will do what no Tears of the Kingdom, or video game player has ever done. Get physical exercise, an absolutely absurd concept I am aware, but it must be done.

[@JubbJubb_]

Considering that Hyrule is directly referred to as a continent in one of the loading screens, Hyrule is pretty damn small.

[@aratherbritishdinosaur]

Yeah I’ve thought about this all the time, this is “continent” is about the size of London 😂

[@mrdemon4429]

Unless you count what's past the world border then we don't know

[@rigure]

yeah that's an unfortunate effect of trying to put an entire continent in a game. Continents are sickeningly huge 😅 Hyrule is pretty tiny but I don't think anyone could make it bigger. I do love seeing the volcano from the most freezing point 😂

[@n1nj4l1nk]

​@@mrdemon4429we have a good idea though. People broke through the boundaries in BotW and Nintendo had sketched in the rest of the continent. The playable map is around about 1/4 of the total map.

[@MementoDespair]

​@@rigureimagine comparing oot and tp hyrule size to a continent

[@-lucas-8586]

But then time goes by 60 times faster (every second is a minute, so every day is 24 minutes) so it'd take 6.333 days in Hyrulian time

[@cobaltlance18]

Thats still so short lmao. Hyrule is just so small 😅

[@-lucas-8586]

and then there's stamina, enemy's, terrain, climates, ect.

[@ghoulishgoober3122]

​@@-lucas-8586It would be impossible to starve to death trekking through hyrule. Walking at average effort takes less than a week so as long as you find some water you can go wherever you want. There's plenty of goodies to eat

[@boggle4763]

That’s less than the time for one blood moon to happen which is 7 days in hyrulean time

[@arcanine_enjoyer]

​@@boggle4763that doesn't mean anything in this context. Blood moons don't indicate any sort of passing of time, and they happen roughly every 3 hours regardless of the moon cycle. You can sleep as many times as you want and you won't trigger any sort of blood moon even if you do it 6 times. Hyrule is the size of a city, a large city. Tokyo to be exact. It's the city the map of BoTW and ToTK was designed on.

[@Sambarang55]

That is actually not nearly as long as i thought it would be

[@DaShadow]

This is only the ideal. Its a straight line not considering mountains and elevation changes. Following the paths (if there are some) its prolly gonna be 3.5h or more

It sounds accurate to me

For SURE. I would guess you would average 2 mph, not three. Potentially even 1.5

Man Hyrule tiny as hell

[@skrilix5738]

This is why I’m a firm believer that even in a game as huge as BotW or TotK, the land is scaled down.

[@whist1221]

In BotW, Impa says verbatim that the ride from Kakariko to the final memory in front of Fort Hateno will take a half-day. To us, that distance is so tiny that it's only a couple minutes. The difference in timepass, (which based on the above statement likely matches with that of the canon vs in-game map,) is probably even more than 60x canonically.

[@mioc7741]

Not just scaled down, Hyrule has to flat out be missing places. I mean I refuse to believe the Zora only have a single settlement within Hyrule to have a whole king. In totk we learn of other domains, but it’s never specified if those are in Hyrule or not.

[@skrilix5738]

You should make a video comparing Hyrule to real countries in size!

[@franciscocolorado3028]

If his numbers are correct Hyrule should be around 79km², the closest countries are San Marino (61 km²) and Liechtenstein (160 km²), 5th and 6th smallest coutries of the world respectively. Definitely can't compare with England (130,279km²) or Spain (505,990km²), and much less with bigger ones like Mexico (1,973,000km²) or USA (9,597,000km²), but yes, Hyrule can actually be considered a country

[@isaiahkoufos3573]

There are more factors though. Not many people could keep up the 5km/h pace while packing assumably required equipment though, at the very least a fireproof suit to get around Death Mountain, one meal and a good amount of water maybe 3 liters. On top of that, the actual distance covered and the speed at which one could cover that distance would change drastically due to topography. And that being said, you’d have to choose to either go directly diagonal, which you’d then need climbing equipment and an axe and paracord to make a raft to cross water, or make a more thought-out route avoiding bad terrain, which would probably be much longer to turn for bridges and go around steep hills and mountains.

Wild. I live in central Arkansas, and I just used Google Maps to get an idea of how big this is in the real world. Conway, AR is like the 7th largest city in the state, and we're not exactly known for our population density or large cities, so OUR 7th largest probably wouldn't even register compared to some other states, and Hyrule is actually slightly SMALLER than Conway, AR. For simplicity (damned Imperial units) I converted the kilometers to miles and found that Hyrule is just shy of 8 miles diagonally, while Conway (being slightly irregularly shaped) measures about 8.5 miles diagonally one way and 9.25 miles the other way. When you start plotting the geographical features found in Hyrule, like volcanoes, ice mountains, a rain forest, and a desert, all in such a small place, that's just absolutely wild.
