'''Patch Land''' is the main setting of ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Kirby's]] [[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn|(Extra)]] [[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Epic Yarn]]''. It can be reached via the [[Magic Sock]]s and consists of seven distinct wedge-shaped lands, each with their own climate and motif, woven together by the [[Magic Yarn]]. The only significant town in Patch Land is that on [[Quilty Square]], which is overseen by [[Prince Fluff]]. The entirety of Patch Land consists of cloth, textiles, fabrics, and yarn as though it were an animated tapestry.<ref>{{cite|Kirby's first console platform game since the Nintendo 64™ days introduces an amazing new look based on animated yarn and a world of cloth and textiles. |Nintendo's E3 Network site|Overview}}</ref> Kirby is able to manipulate the stitchery by pulling on threads and rippling the cloth to close wide chasms. | '''Patch Land''' is the main setting of ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Kirby's]] [[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn|(Extra)]] [[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Epic Yarn]]''.

In ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Kirby's]] [[Kirby's | In ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Kirby's]] [[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn|(Extra)]] [[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Epic Yarn]]'', [[Kirby]] is sent to Patch Land by [[Yin-Yarn]] after eating his [[Metamato]]. There, Kirby is transformed into a yarn outline of himself and as such, can no longer use his [[Inhale]]. Instead, he is able to use the power of the Metamato to transform into a number of different forms, which he uses to traverse the kingdom and put the seven pieces of Patch Land back together, which had been torn apart by Yin-Yarn in order to steal the Magic Yarn. Kirby meets up with [[Prince Fluff]] and the two of them embark on this journey together, traversing all seven lands as they stitch them back together again. Once Patch Land is fully restored, they head to Dream Land via the Magic Sock to defeat Yin-Yarn. | ||

==Ambiguity== | |||
In the Japanese versions of ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' and ''Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn'', Fluff is specifically the prince of the "yarn country" ({{furi|毛糸|けいと}}の{{furi|国|くに}}) in the "yarn world" ({{furi|毛糸|けいと}}の{{furi|世界|せかい}}). Note that the term「{{furi|国|くに}}」can mean anything from a "country" to a "kingdom" to a "realm"; previous uses in the series have been translated as "world", such as the [[Mirror World]] ({{furi|鏡|かがみ}}の{{furi|国|くに}}), or even Dream Land itself as a "[[World of Peace - Dream Land|world of peace]]" (へいわなくに). | |||
Given that「{{furi|世界|せかい}}」unambiguously means "world", it is likely that the "yarn world" is a larger area than the smaller "yarn country". That said, it is left unclear whether Fluff's jurisdiction, the "yarn country", comprises the entire world that was stitched back together in the events of ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'', or merely a specific realm within the world, or even whether the continents of Patch Land are themselves the entirety of the "yarn world". | |||
Most localizations, including both of the English ones, make no distinction between the "yarn country" and the "yarn world," using "Patch Land" or a second-hand translation of it to refer to both. As a result, while the distinction between the "yarn country" and the "yarn world" in the original Japanese is already ambiguous, the English localizations (and others that follow them) are even more unclear as to what exactly Fluff's title as "the prince of Patch Land" entails. The Korean version follows the Japanese version more closely in this aspect, referring to the "yarn country" (털실 나라) with a term distinct from the "yarn world" (털실 세계). | |||
