Since you are already in the area, I would suggest checking out Thieves' Town to the west. Before you do that, you can head east towards Lorule Castle. Another weather vane can be activated at the end of the bridge leading into the castle.
If you go south of the castle to where your house is in Hyrule, you will find that it is now a Vacant House. There is a weather vane to activate there as well. If you go to the Vacant House, use a Bomb on the back wall to open a hidden entrance; go through it to find a Bottle. You will also find another fissure in the wall outside that allows you to warp back to Hyrule and vice versa. Try it, and you will meet Sahasrahla on the other side. After that, return to Lorule and continue exploring. South of the house is the Swamp of Evil.
There are a few Maiamais you can collect, and several fissure portals to discover. It may be beneficial to learn their locations and explore new areas that way, since you will quickly notice Lorule is quite divided compared to Hyrule, which means you will be warping back and forth often. In the Haunted Grove area, you can play the Octoball Derby mini-game for a chance to win a Heart Piece.
For now however, you should go check out Thieves' Town, which is in the same spot as Kakariko Village in Hyrule.
Thieves' Town
In this village full of enemies, you will find many of the same establishments are still standing. There is a shop, a new treasure chest mini-game called Fortune's Choice (pay 200 Rupees, open three chests; you can win a Heart Piece this way). There is a weather vane on the west side of town, near the masked elder.
One very important location to note is just south of town. Where the Cucco Ranch was in Hyrule, there is now a Big Bomb Flower Shop in Lorule. You pay the man inside 200 Rupees to have access to the yard with the Big Bomb Flower. This is used to destroy those giant cracked rocks you might have seen, including the one at the bottom of the yard. Press A to pick the flower, then it will follow you around until it is attacked, at which point it will explode after a brief pause. Use it to destroy the cracked rock, blowing a hole in the fence and allowing you to "borrow" the Big Bomb Flower at any time, free of charge! You can blow open a nearby cave where the Great Rupee Fairy is located for example (if you donate 3000 Rupees to the Great Rupee Fairy, she will give you a
Bottle).
Anyway, back in the town proper, at the north end you will see two large statues. Check the front of the left one and a voice will ask you to recite lyrics of a song for him. The options you are given rhyme and do make sense if you think in terms of a thief, but the correct answers are: middle, bottom, top. This will open the way inside the hideout, which turns out to be one of the dungeons, so save and head on inside.
