[edit] The Legend of Zelda
In the original game the Lost Woods was a single-screen, repeating area filled with trees. The path formed a cross. It required a certain pattern of directions (north, west, south, west) in order for the player to pass through successfully. If the player did not know the correct pattern, they would be unable to reach western Hyrule.

The Lost Woods is located in the northwestern section of Hyrule, directly north of Kakariko Village. The Master Sword is placed in a large hidden shrine, though numerous fakes are also present. The dark shadows of the trees are also good growing conditions for the Sleepy Mushroom, which can be turned into Magic Powder.
[edit] Oracle of Seasons
The Lost Woods is the location of the Noble Sword, though it is obviously a second lost woods seeing as the game is not set in Hyrule.
[edit] Ocarina of Time
The Lost Woods lies directly to the west and north of Kokiri Forest and is inhabited by Skull Kids. It is a maze of trees that can be navigated by following the sound of the Saria's Song. Taking a wrong path leads you back to the entrance in Kokiri Forest. Portals to Goron City and Zora's River are hidden within the Lost Woods. Within the woods, there is a shooting challenge where players can win Bullet Bag upgrades. Nearby this challenge, there are two friendly Skull Kids who play flutes. There are a few Business Scrubs located in three major places in the woods. Located in the northern portion of the woods is the Sacred Forest Meadow. This is the favorite haunt of Saria, Link's friend and the Forest Sage. It is also where the Forest Temple is hidden. According to local lore, whoever enters the forest will turn into a Stalfos (if an adult) or a Skull Kid (if a child). In the Ocarina of Time manga, it tells of how the forest tricks human hearts into wandering the same paths over and over, and if the poor soul loses the sight of the exit, he or she will never return again.
[edit] Majora's Mask
The Termina equivalent to the Lost Woods is the The Woods of Mystery, located in the Southern Swamp.
As with Ocarina of Time, the player must take the correct path through the woods. If they go the wrong way, they are returned to the entrance of the woods.
[edit] The Wind Waker
When the gods flooded Hyrule, the forest was almost totally submerged. Lost Woods became the Forbidden Woods. There is clear evidence of previous habitation by Koroks, such as lifts across long gaps. Earlier in the game, a Korok also mentioned that they had lived there in the past, until it had become overrun by monsters and they were forced to leave. The boss creature is a plant-monster named Kalle Demos.
[edit] Twilight Princess
The Lost Woods is named Faron Woods after the light spirit that resides there.
