12 Stunning Video Game Locations You Must Visit Before You Die

11. Lake Hylia - Twilight Princess

The land of Hyrule is the kind of place you'd happily retire to, if it wasn't for its constant near-misses with being plunged into an eternal darkness by the evil wizard Ganondorf. It's all rolling hills, horse ranches, and quaint villages. So long as you avoid wandering the wilderness at night or stumbling into some trap-filled dungeon after a rowdy night out on the Hyrule castle square, you'll have a nice, chilled time. So which corner of this giant retirement community would be the best place to see out the remaining days of your life? Lake Hylia from Twilight Princess, with its crystal-clear waters, the stunning Great Bridge of Hylia stretching between two cliffs, and great fishing conditions. It looks like it could be situated somewhere in Turkey, albeit with that distinctive watercolour look that defines Twilight Princess. It's arguably the most stunning lake in video games, and free of grim creatures under the surface that populate similar places in other games.
