Template:Place Hebra is a region in Breath of the Wild.

Features and Overview

Hebra is a vast Region covering the northwestern corner of Hyrule. The Region is very mountainous but also has vast expanses of flat terrain. Hebra is made up of three smaller areas: Hebra Mountains, Tabantha Frontier and Tabantha Tundra. Tabantha Frontier is the largest of the three covering the entire southern portion of Hebra.

The vast majority of northern Hebra is extremely cold, with Temperatures requiring 2 levels of Cold Resistance at all times. The Weather is often snowy and rarely sunny. Link can withstand the cold by consuming Spicy Elixirs or other spicy Food, or by equipping multiple pieces of Armor that grants Cold Resistance such as the Warm Doublet or the Snowquill Set.

Hebra Mountains

Main article: Hebra Mountains

The Hebra Mountains are a very cold and mountainous area in the northwest of the Hebra Region with lots of peaks and summits to climb. The area also has large snow-covered slopes, making it an ideal Shield Surfing location.

Despite the extreme cold, the Hebra Mountains are littered with hot springs, and most of the lakes are also warm enough to swim in without clothes or protection of any kind. In particular, the Flight Range, Hebra Plunge and Lake Kilsie are warm lakes, even though they are surrounded mostly or wholly by bitterly cold terrain. However, the river and waterfall feeding Hebra Plunge are chilly waters.

Tabantha Tundra

Main article: Tabantha Tundra

The Tabantha Tundra is a large snowy expanse in the northeastern Hebra. It meets with the Eldin Mountains and the Great Hyrule Forest at its eastern corner. Most of the Tundra is covered by snowfields but it is more mountainous in the northeast.

Trivia

  • The Hebra region shares a name with Mount Hebra, which in the Japanese version of A Link to the Past was the Light World name for Death Mountain, which only bore that name in the Dark World. In the English language localizations, both locations were simply called Death Mountain. Like in Breath of the Wild, the Dark World Death Mountain was an active volcano, while the Light World Mt. Hebra was inactive. But unlike in A Link to the Past, the Hebra and Death Mountain regions are geographically separated. Nevertheless, the Hebra region in Breath of the Wild has many similaries to real inactive volcanoes: In addition to its numerous hot springs and upwelling gas vents (features also abundant on Death Mountain) and the unusually warm lakes located in some of its coldest terrain, the topography of the Hebra region itself is covered with many steep crater-like landforms, including Coldsnap Hollow, the Flight Range, Gisa Crater, Sturnida Basin and Lake Totori.
