The southern portion of the Canyon is a valley with rolling foothills that borders Great Hyrule Forest, Hyrule Field, and northern Lanayru. A road paves through this section before forking between Eldin proper and Lanayru. This winding road then leads to the Foothill Stable and continues into central Eldin. The west side of this valley is initially even and partially wooded, however, further north it turns more rugged and mountainous. It eventually gives way to a barren wasteland that has little to no substance. This area borders along the very edge of Hyrule as a steep, bottomless cliff known as Eldin's Flank. Eldin Canyon shares much of this landscape with the Eldin Mountains to the west.
The central portion of Eldin Canyon has harder terrain with steep cliffs and deep gorges. Moving northeast, closer to Death Mountain, the landscape becomes perilous due to the area's high volcanic activity. Eruptions caused by Death Mountain have formed multiple bodies of lava around the area, such as Darunia Lake and the moat that surrounds Death Mountain. Due to the intense climate, the temperature grows exceedingly hot here. This can be remedied either by consuming food or an elixir that grants fire resistance, or by equiping a Flamebreaker item. The road that paves through central Eldin Canyon eventually leads to Goron City, the home of the Gorons, before continuing to the Abandoned North Mine and finally Death Mountain. Throughout Eldin Canyon, a number of bodies of water close to Death Mountain are Hot Springs, and are said to rejuvinate health.
