During the Great Calamity 100 years ago, Hateno Village was the larger of only two Hylian settlements to remain.[7] Its survival is owed largely to the successful defense effort at Fort Hateno, as well as the awakening of Zelda's sealing powers on Blatchery Plain.[8][9] Following the Calamity, the Age of Burning Fields began in Hateno Village, wherein the destruction of Necluda left Hateno unable to farm.[10] Eventually, the Region was able to recover, and Hateno Village became self-sufficient.[11]Purah also founded the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab nearby, due to the source of Ancient Energy discovered on the High Ground.[12][13]
Since it is located so close to Mount Lanayru, Hateno Village has a chilly environment, and most residents wear long sleeves as a result.[14] The villagers primarily make their living through agriculture, and most Houses have either a field or a ranch of some kind.[8]Dyeing clothes is also a traditional craft of the village.[15][16] Though Hateno Village is relatively peaceful when compared to the rest of Hyrule, travelers such as Celessa note that it feels precarious.[17][18]
Hateno Village reappears in Tears of the Kingdom. A variety of large Mushrooms decorations are now spread across the village, and many residents wear similar clothing and hats. Cece introduced the mushroom fashion to the village, making it a popular destination for fashion-inclined people across Hyrule.[30]
In the time between games, Zelda had Bolson build the Hateno School for the children of Hateno Village,[31] with Symin as the teacher.[32] She also moved into Link's House.[33] The children affectionately refer to her as "Ms. Zelda".[34]
The sheets of paper hung up around Hateno Village translate to "Caution," "Congrats," and "Account."[38][39][40]
