This post, and posts like it, is an attempt to make real-life geological phenomena more accessible to a rising generation of tech-savvy, gaming youth. Studies have shown that there is room in education for the use of virtually created worlds from video games to teach real-world geology and other scientific processes. One particular study of interest can be found here. I do own the rights to most of the images in this post, but the story and geology explained in this post comes from real-world phenomena and is not directly linked to actual Legend of Zelda lore. The characters, locations, and scenes come from the popular video game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and I do not take credit for them. I hope you enjoy my creative scientific interpretations!
Karusa Valley is a crimson wonder hidden away in the deadly sands of the Gerudo Desert and patrolled by the even deadlier Yiga Clan. But for those that make the treacherous trip to Karusa Valley will be rewarded with the towering layers of red rocks, a sunset painting on the rocks and evidence of the regions rough and watery past. Let’s take a closer look at how this valley formed!
Thank you for reading/watching and stay tuned for the next installment of Hyrule Geology Tours. As always, I would love to hear from you! How did you like the video? What did you learn from it that surprised you? What ideas or suggestions do you have for my next post? I would love your feedback! Also, if you happen to have the game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at home, I encourage you to go find these geologic features yourself. The names of all geologic features in this post are actual names from the game so go on the virtual tour for yourself and let me know how it goes!
