Is ordona province a part of hyrule?

Is ordona province a part of hyrule?
In TP Rusl says to Link:"You have never been to hyrule?"
Is then ordona maybe a part of termina and the forest in termina is the kokiri forest/faron province?Then the ordon province would be at the place where clock town was .

termina and hyrule are parallel universes·they aren´t in the same dimension· Ordona is in hyrule world but isn´t in hyrule kingdom·

Yes I think so too...But of which kingdom is ordona then a part?

Well it's probably not part of the kingdom of Hyrule, but it's a part of the land (or world) of Hyrule.

I don't think Ordona adheres to any kingdom, actually. It's just a small village in the forest, kinda like a no-man's-land.

I like that idea!

In addition, Lanayru made it clear that only three light spirits participated in the battle to subdue the wielders of the Fused Shadows. These light spirits were likely the ones belonging to Hyrule proper, further supporting the notion that Ordona is a separate province of its own.

It's not, however, part of Termina, since Termina belonged to a parallel reality.

"Not even from Hyrule proper..."

I imagine it to be like the Channel Islands in Britain. They're technically under the same government, but not bound by any constituency making them part of Britain, but not part of the United Kingdom.

Or even perhaps, to separate it more, like Canada and USA. Both 'America', but different countries.

^That last is a bad analogy

I'd say it's more like how some people might think both "England", "Great Britain" and "The UK" are interchangeable. Great Britain is the actully the entire main island, England is merely a region within that island (with Wales, Scotland and arguably Cornwall) that represents an older polity, "The UK" is the political entity that encompasses Northern Ireland, Britain and the surrounding islands.

The political entity that is "Hyrule" spreads over a larger area than the geographical limits of "Hyrule". Ordona could be either another region within the kingdom of Hyrule, a neighbouring vassal of Hyrule or entirely independant of Hyrule. Vassalage seems the likeliest option due to the offering of a sword as tribute.

Ordon is on the map labeled Hyrule.
Ordon pays tribute to the King of Hyrule.
I'd say it's a part of it, just a remote part, kind of like how Hawaii (or better yet, Puerto Rico) is a part of the U.S.
(It's not a part of the contiguous states.)

But Ordona IS a contiguous part of Hyrule... I guess Double C's analogy is the best so far...

If Ordona is not a part of 'Hyrule proper', then it could mean that there
is non-Hyrule territory between Hyrule Field and Ordon.

In other words the Ordona province may not be part of Hyrule, but
the town of Ordon is... just a possibility... ?

I think that Ordana is part of the land Hyrule, but not part of the actual kingdom...
Also I found this interesting:
Lanayru, Faron, Eldin, and Ordona can be the other half of Farore (faron) the 3 godesess. Not sure how this relates, but I just wanted ro share

Apparently in Japanese Ordona is supposed to be (Far)OR-DIN-NA(yru) and represent all three.

ZeldaZealot thinks that the Ordona province is part of the kingdom as they do have to pay tribute to the Royal Family, but he also believes that the province was only recently added to the kingdom.

No, in Japanese Ordona is Latoane and Ordon Villiage is Toal Village.

Ordona -> ラトアーヌ (Ra-to-ā-nu) = Latoane: Latoanu would also be a possibility, but I guess this is just a silent "e" and they chose a "ヌ/nu" instead of a "ン/n" to show there is still an "e" to be written there. This is backed up by the Japanese transliteration of the city Cannes, which is カンヌ (Ka-nnu).
The translations of the term are Latouane (French), Latoan (Spanish and German) and Ratane (Italian).

Ordon Village -> トアル村 (To-a-ru Mu-ra) = Toal Village: The E3 2005 beta and the Zelda Gallery NDS cartridge translated this as "Toaru Village", but...
1. The filenames on the Twilight Princess disc romanize it as "Toal Village".
2. Lato (from "Latoane") is an anagram of Toal.

Where the hell do we get Ordona from then?

NoA made it up?

The map actually says Latoane in Hylian IIRC.

Ordon Village -> トアル村 (To-a-ru Mu-ra) = Toal Village

Wasn't Windfall Island called Toaru Island or something in a just pre-release- and that's what all the player's guides called it? In interest, not in any linking or theory mind

Windfall Island is called "Taura Island".
