LoZ: Twilight Princess Bridges

[HauntedLover]

Which bridge do you think is bigger: Hylia or Eldin?

I would say Eldin, but I'm not so sure.

any specific reason you need to know? physics project?

I thought this was an interesting question, so I fired up my copy of Twilight Princess and did some research.

First and foremost, judging by the map of Hyrule, Hylia Bridge, seems to be 1.5 times the length of The Bridge Of Eldin.

Meaning, The Bridge of Eldin could fit of top of Hylia Bridge, and still have room for half of Eldin's bridge.

But that is strictly eyeballing the map...

Hylia Bridge, while viewed from the side on Hyrule Field side show Hylia Bridge has what is left of two supports underneth it.

Down on the shores of Lake Hylia, we see these supports would have reached into the center of the lake.

And a swim down to the entrence of the water temple shows what looks like the pieces of these supports. The bridge itself is directly over this location.

But then again, it's possible the supports were never actually made, and what is at the bottom of Lake Hylia is purely Zoran construction.

The bridge of Eldin, while viwed from the sides, shows no evidence of supports. A view from below could not be obtained, since the ravine below the Eldin bridge reaches into the depths of hell.

Running from one gateway to the other FEELS longer on Hylia bridge. Since I don't have a stop watch, I can't congirm travel time, or distance.

BUT from the evidence at hand, it seems, Hylia Bridge is slightly longer.
