Well, for me it would be…
- Eversong Woods (+ Ghostlands)
- Hillsbrad Foothills (old version)
- Western Plaguelands (old version)
- Zul’Drak
- Mount Hyjal
Close contenders are Borean Tundra and Talador for their music soundtracks. Jade Forest too had great music, but I always got bored of leveling in Pandaria after a while.
As for the list, ESW and GL are obvious to any blood elf fan. They are love, they are life!
Hillsbrad and WPL I loved for their quests and the music, respectively. Plaguelands in particular makes one jumpscared and is an absolute gem of a zone, while Hillsbrad makes you feel nostalgic (this is shared with Elwynn Forest).
For Zul’drak, I liked fighting the trolls, both Drakuru and Drakkari, and the quests were almost fully soloable (I recall 3 elite quests, 2 in a chain, that you wanted to group up for). And the story… the trolls sacrificing their gods hoping to defy the Scourge is awesome!
And Mount Hyjal, fighting the twilight cultists is always an awesome feeling, and it has a very good dark soundtrack too.

Top five? Hmm…
- Dun Morogh
- Teldrassil
- Pre-Cataclysm Azshara
- Hellfire Peninsula
- Netherstorm
- Icecrown
- Uldum
- Shadowmoon Valley (WoD)
- Val’shara
- Ardenweald
Okay, these are too many. Let’s reduce the list by randomising the order and setting up a head-to-head tornament.
First match:
Shadowmoon Valley (WoD) vs Val’shara
Easy win for Shadowmoon Valley, I am fond of purple.
Second match:
Dun Morogh vs Teldrassil
Another bloodbath in favour of the vibrant purple forest. Not even New Tinkertown can beat that.
Third match:
Uldum vs pre-Cataclysm Azshara
This one is the most even so far, but the win goes to the then wild, rural and quiet Azshara from back when it had barely any quests and Hydraxian Waterlords inhabited a far-away isle.
Fourth match:
Icecrown vs Ardenweald
Another slaughter in favour of the bluish purple forest of Ardenweald.
Fifth and last match:
Hellfire Peninsula vs Netherstorm
Quite even as both are dated zones, but the win goes to Netherstorm due to it being the most broken zone out Outland, and we get to see that reflected in the sorry state of Kirin’var Village and it’s harbour pier floating in the air without a single drop of water beneath it.
This means the top 5 are:
- Shadowmoon Valley (WoD)
- Teldrassil
- Pre-Cataclysm Azshara
- Ardenweald
- Netherstorm
In no particular order:
- Zangarmarsh
- Ashenvale
- Drustvar
- Netherstorm
- Zuldrak
Honorable mentions:

I’m oldschool almost in everything so i tend to prefer the old zones, and for the Vanilla ones, I prefer the original versions of course, but they are still my favourite even after the revamp:
- Mulgore
- Northern Barrens
- Winterspring
- Howling Fjord
- Kun-Lai Summit
Honorable mention for Azshara (pre-Cata) and Arathi Highlands (original).

- Tirisfall glades
