It seems quite common in fantasy worlds to have an arctic or temperate climate in the northern hemisphere, and a tropical climate in the southern hemisphere, i.e., a cold north and a hot south. In reality, it doesn't quite work this way. Planets have a cold north and a cold south, with the hottest part being in the middle. This representation probably comes from the fact that, on Earth, the majority of the population lives in the Northern Hemisphere (where most of the land is), which makes it seem true. This is Older Than Dirt: Aristotle knew the world was round, and assumed that the south pole was just as cold as the north pole, but he believed the lands near the equator were so hot that they were impassable. To be fair, his reference for "lands near the equator" was the Sahara Desert. The idea of the Grim Up North and The Savage South are intimately linked to this trope.

Betrayal at Krondor: The furthest north part of the map is an icy wasteland populated by dark elves, and indeed their capital city is the northernmost point in the game. The southernmost point in the game is the good-guys' capital city, Krondor, which is a bit north of some deserts that are unreachable in gameplay, but visible on the world map. | |

Inverted in Dragon Age. Normally, the game doesn't directly call attention to it, but you head south to reach first a tundra and then a frozen area populated only by nomads. Up north near Tevinter the weather is far more tropical. Fereldan is disliked in part for being cold and muddy as the most southern large nation on the continent. The fact that "frozen wastes" are located on the southern edge of the map has reportedly confused many a fantasy fan. | |

The Fire Emblem games each take place on their own continents, and while it's unclear where the equator lies, they often follow this trope. Fire Emblem Gaiden has Zofia, to the south, be warm and fertile, although the deserts are slightly to the north of the castle. Meanwhile, Rigel, to the north, is cold and barren. Fire Emblem: Awakening has the snowy lands of Regna Ferox to the north and the deserts of Plegia to the south. In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, similar to Gaiden, the Adrestian Empire, to the south, is relatively warm, while the northern reaches of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus are described as cold. Fire Emblem Engage takes place on the ring-shaped continent of Elyos, which is divided into four kingdoms. The Kingdom of Elusia, which is in Elyos' northeast, is a land covered in snow, while the southeastern Queendom of Solm is a desert. To a lesser extent, the southwestern Kingdom of Firene is warm and has good farmland, while the northwestern Kingdom of Brodia is rocky and barren. |

Zig-zagged in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This trope does seem to hold true in certain areas of Hyrule; on the western side, for instance, you have the vast Gerudo Desert to the south, note which, at least during the day, is the only area in the base game where heat resistance is required and the Hebra Peaks to the north. However, going to the east, you have Death Mountain in the northern reaches, and the snowbound Mount Lanayru in the lower central region. As well as this, on the Great Plateau where you start the game, the cold Mount Hylia is located to the south-west, while the northern section is forested. | |

Averted in The Belgariad and The Mallorean. The two great continents where the stories take place stretch across both hemispheres and, although most of the action takes place in the Northern hemisphere, at one point the protagonists do journey below the equator and they notice the seasons invert. It's also mentioned that the southernmost parts of Cthol Murgos, a country which starts a little above the equator and stretched down the whole length of the continent, are very cold year-round. | |

Earthsea has the very cold northern lands of the archipelago and the tropical islands in the south. Given the scale given on the map, the entire archipelago fits between the equator and pole of an Earth-sized planet. But nobody has been able to travel around the entire planet or to the other hemisphere to see if there is any land there. | |

Pillars of Eternity is stated to be set in the Eastern Reach, a temperate region of Eora's southern hemisphere. Your boreal dwarf teammate Sagani is from the far southern island of Naasitaq in the icy Deadfire Archipelago, and you can choose a region even further south called the White that Wends (basically Space Antarctica) as region of origin for custom characters. So far there's no mention of a corresponding ice cap on the north pole. | |

Final Fantasy XII averts this, albeit in conjunction with Patchwork Map. Kerwon is the coldest among the three continents and it's located in the Southern Hemisphere. Dalmasca, which is located in the equator, is a hot desert country. It's implied that the farther you go north, the climate gets colder as expected, though you do not go that far north. | |

Golf Story: Inverted with Coldwind Wastes, which is the southernmost course, and Bermuda Isles, which is north of Wellworn Grove (though not the northernmost). Justified when the zoom-out at the end of the game reveals the world map to be Australia, which, being in the southern hemisphere, would naturally be colder to the south and warmer to the north. | |

In Birthright's world of Aebrynis, the main (human-)inhabited continent is Cerilia, which is populated by several Fantasy Counterpart Cultures. In the north live the Rjurik (Norse) and the Vos (Russian/Mongol) while in the south live the Khinasi (Arabs). There are two continents south of Cerilia which are not described in detail: one is Aduria, which was the original human homeland but is now arid and sparsely inhabited, and the other is Djapar, home to the nomadic Basarji who are the ancestors of the Khinasi. Any lands further south than these are not mentioned or mapped out. | |

Exalted does play it straight, but the world isn't a planet — all of existence is bordered by the four Elemental Poles, which separate it from the Primordial Chaos. The Pole of Fire is in the south, and Air, which also covers coldness, in the north. | |

Averted in Avatar: The Last Airbender, there is a north pole and a south pole, and they're both cold. In fact, most of the first season is spent traveling from the south pole to the north. The Fire Nation is the hottest because most of it is near the equator, and consists mostly of active volcanic islands. | |

Averted in the Forgotten Realms setting as a whole, which takes place on the planet Toril. This trope is true of Faerûn, the continent 90% of the material is set in, which goes from the Great Glacier in the far north to downright tropical areas in the south. However Faerûn is explicitly just one continent of many (equivalent to Europe, western Asia, and the northern half of Africa in terms of Earth's geography, which is similar). Whether the other continents play it straight depends on their location on Toril: Kara-tur, east of Faerûn, plays it straight, while Zakhara to the south inverts it, and Maztica (effectively the Americas) goes from cold to hot to cold. | |

The SNES game ActRaiser literally lets you play as God, and you have to save the world you created from the demon Tanzra by defeating his minions. It's safe to say therefore that the map represents the entire known world. And it consists of Aitos and Northwall in the north, Fillmore and Bloodpool around the center, and Kasandora and Maranha in the south. | |

In The Lord of the Rings, The southernmost land that plays a major role in the story, Haradwaith, is a hot desert, and the wastes at the northern edge of the map are the coolest. The parts of Middle Earth that we see are explicitly modelled on Europe - the people (called "Southrons") who come from further south are clearly African, while those from the east ("Easterlings") are middle-eastern with some Indian influence. So it's clearly implied that the world is similar to the real world, the protagonists just don't see or know much about most of it. |

In Dishonored, the northernmost known country is the eternally frozen Tyvia. The London-esque Dunwall is further south. Even further south is Serkonos which is portrayed as rather warm and temperate. Pandyssia is portrayed as existing somewhere to the south-east of the Empire and is covered in tropical jungles. | |

Fire Emblem Engage takes place on the ring-shaped continent of Elyos, which is divided into four kingdoms. The Kingdom of Elusia, which is in Elyos' northeast, is a land covered in snow, while the southeastern Queendom of Solm is a desert. To a lesser extent, the southwestern Kingdom of Firene is warm and has good farmland, while the northwestern Kingdom of Brodia is rocky and barren. | |

Played straight in Anima: Beyond Fantasy, where the northern part of Gaïa is tundra or worse and the southern one jungles and the like. Justified in that magic was used to divide the planet in three regions, each one of them even if the world itself was not physically divided appearing as an independent planet for their inhabitants. | |

In The Delver's Guide to Beast World, the northmost part of the continent is the most inhospitable parts of the Scandi-Russian nation of Oria, while the southmost parts are the more Mediterranean Vinyot and the split rainforest/desert nation of Arneria. It's specifically mentioned that this continent is not the whole world, but what lies beyond it is unknown. | |

The Elder Scrolls: Played straight in general for the continent of Tamriel, where every game in the series to date has taken place. The northern regions contain snowy mountain ridges as well as arboreal and pine forests. The northernmost mainland province is snowy Skyrim, which is primarily tundra and taiga, with forests along the border regions. Tamriel's northernmost landmass is the island of Solstheim, which is largely a frozen over rock with perpetual glaciers in its northern regions. Southern Tamriel contains the deserts of Elsweyr and the jungles/swamps of Black Marsh. In the southwest lie the semi-tropical Summerset Isles. Loose Canon maps showing Tamriel's position on the planet (Nirn) typically show it just north of the equator, largely justifying the trope. That said, there are some quirks and possible exceptions, though they could be explained by the geography. For example, much of northern Morrowind is on the same latitude as Skyrim, but Morrowind is much more temperate with a varied climate. This could be explained by the large mountain range (the Velothi Mountains) separating the two provinces, blocking Skyrim's cold winds entering Morrowind, as is the case for numerous real-life mountain ranges. | |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, the south is warmer than the north. In the continent of Westeros, the North is freezing, while the southernmost kingdom, Dorne, is Mediterranean. The southernmost continent is described as jungly, though the known world does not extend far from its northern coast. | |

Parodied in One Piece: Monkey D. Luffy seems to literally believe this, as which direction feels warmest/coldest is how he determines north and south. This despite the latitude having no apparent relation to the temperature in the mostly island-based world he lives in (particularly in the Grand Line, where the climate of individual islands seems completely random). Averted - if only offhandedly - in the flashback to Shanks' and Buggy's past, where they're actually arguing over whether the North Pole or the South Pole is colder. This indicates the locations are known to exist in the One Piece world, though the Straw Hats may or may not ever travel there.note Thus far, the closest thing they've had to an actual appearance is an offhand reference that there's a colony of Krakens living up at the North Pole. |

While the Pokémon games set in regions based on relatively cold places play this straight, as noted above, the warmer regions instead use deep coastal caves (Seafoam Islands in Kanto, Ice Path in Johto, Shoal Cave in Hoenn) or tall mountains (Mt. Silver in Johto in the remakes and Mt. Lanakila in Alola) to house their Ice-types. Galar also ends up zigzagging this, as while the base game's coldest region is in the north, the Crown Tundra DLC area is mostly covered in ice and snow and is located south of the area explored in the main game. | |

Game of Thrones, being based on the book series A Song of Ice and Fire, plays this straight. The farther north you go in Westeros, the colder it gets, progressive from the southernmost deserts of Dorne to the arctic glaciers beyond the Wall in the north. House of the Dragon, being set in the same world a few hundred years prior, has no scene set in the North in Season 1 but it does get mentioned along with the Wall, and the one Stark seen in the series so far, Lord Rickon, is obviously clothed for winter. |

Averted in Warhammer, which, as with Lord of the Rings, is heavily based on real world Europe. The Chaos Wastes to the north are cold and populated by over-the-top Vikings, while the south has deserts that were home to an ancient civilisation with a bit of a mummy obsession. It's clearly shown that there is more world beyond this and that the utmost south is also frozen, it's just that travelling there is too dangerous for much information to reach the Old World. | |

The world of Equestria in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic seems to play this straight. Official maps showed that arctic areas like the Crystal Mountains are in the north, while deserts like the MacIntosh hills are in the south, with many grassy areas in between the two. However, as the official map expanded further outside Equestria, it was eventually revealed that there is indeed a cold south on the planet. | |

Inverted in Tigana, although the book is never explicitly stated to be in the southern hemisphere it generally gets colder the farther south you go. The eponymous peninsula has a largely Mediterranean climate while the land to the south is described as a frigid, misty pine forest with a vaguely Celtic culture, inverting the stereotypes of classical Europe. | |

In The Chronicles of Narnia, temperate Narnia is north, and desert Calormen is south. Then the map stops, with no equator getting involved. Of course, the planet Narnia takes place on isn't like any planet in our universe. It's flat, for instance (as seen in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader). Let's say Aslan Did It and move on. |

Dungeon Siege has some interesting examples: The Kingdom of Ehb map has a temperate south, and a north of extremes. The northwest is snowy and frigid, while the northeast is sandy and arid. The Utraean Peninsula mostly plays the trope straight, except for one particular instance: the most important snowy area is in the south, and is positioned just north of the Endless Desert. One cannot directly access the two regions from one another, however. |
