Hyrule Castle is a landmark area of [[Hyrule]], and it first appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]''. In several of its appearances, Hyrule Castle is taken over by an enemy force, especially [[Ganondorf]]. | '''Hyrule Castle''' is a castle and the home of the [[Royal Family of Hyrule]] in several ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' games.

At the start of his adventure, [[Link]] goes to Hyrule Castle at the request of a telepathic voice, who directs him to a hidden entrance east of the castle. The hidden entrance takes Link to the basement floor of the castle, where he finds his [[Link's uncle|uncle]], who was mortally wounded from battle. After receiving a [[sword]] and [[shield]] from his uncle, Link continues exploring Hyrule Castle. Upon reaching the third basement floor, Link encounters and battles a [[Ball and Chain Trooper]], who is guarding a cell that Zelda is imprisoned in. After it is defeated, Link and Zelda escape to the [[Sanctuary (The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past)|Sanctuary]] by taking the [[Sewer Passage]] north. | At the start of his adventure, [[Link]] goes to Hyrule Castle at the request of a telepathic voice, who directs him to a hidden entrance east of the castle.

Later in his adventure, after Link obtains the [[Master Sword]], he must go back to Hyrule Castle and rescue Zelda again. With the Master Sword, Link breaks the seal on [[Hyrule Castle Tower]] and continues to the top where he encounters [[Agahnim]]. After the battle, Link is sent to the [[Dark World]] where he continues his journey. The [[pyramid]] is the Dark World's equivalent of Hyrule Castle, and it is where the final battle against [[Ganon]] takes place. | Later in his adventure, after Link obtains the [[Master Sword]], he must go back to Hyrule Castle and rescue Zelda again.

Link first goes to the castle in the prologue, having been summoned by Zelda to help check on the seal the [[Four Sword]] has over [[Vaati]]. However, when the six Shrine Maidens open the gate to the Four Sword's resting place, a [[Shadow Link|shadowy facsimile of Link]] appears and traps all seven girls in crystals before traveling back through the warp. Link follows, pulls the Four Sword to stop him despite knowing the ramifications will be freeing Vaati, and is then swept away by a [[cyclone]]. Later, the now-split Links wake up at [[Lake Hylia]] and are told by [[Kaepora Gaebora]] they need to quickly make their way back to the castle due to sinister happenings. | Link first goes to the castle in the prologue, having been summoned by Zelda to help check on the seal the [[Four Sword]] has over [[Vaati]].

[[Guard (enemy)|soldier]]s of various types appear throughout, including [[Bomb Soldier]]s and [[Sword Guard|Sword Soldier]]s. A [[Darknut|Chief Soldier]] and a [[Ball and Chain Trooper]] separately act as minibosses. Shadow Link is encountered twice, and wields the [[Magic Hammer]] at one point. A pair of [[Trap]]s also debut. Two friendly [[Zora]]s can be found; they are actually the [[Queen Fairy|Great Fairy leader]], who had gone into the castle to investigate the strange happenings but was overcome by the dark powers. She then uses her power to obliterate a platoon of soldiers and dispel the Lightning Lock. At the top of the castle, [[Phantom Ganon]] is fought, likely as a callback to the similar Agahnim. Once he is defeated, the darkness covering the castle disappears and the [[Blue Maiden]] is rescued. | ||

Hyrule Castle is a notable location in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap]]''. To restore power in the magic sword broken by [[Vaati]], Link must find four elemental artifacts and imbue the blade with their essence at an Elemental Sanctuary, which can be found in Hyrule Castle. As the story progresses, Vaati disguises himself as the king, making getting into the Elemental Sanctuary more difficult, requiring some stealth to make it in successfully. Finally, toward the game's completion, Vaati transforms the entire castle into Dark Hyrule Castle, which is much larger than normal Hyrule Castle and is by far the most difficult dungeon in the game. | |||

Hyrule Castle plays a central role in ''[[Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', both geographically and plot-wise. Located in the center of [[Lanayru Province]], many of the game's more dramatic moments and plot twists take place within its walls. The structure itself is visible from almost any point in Hyrule, and its grounds and interior are far larger than in any previous ''Zelda'' game. The castle also serves as the game's final dungeon, and is possibly the largest dungeon of the game in terms of sheer floor space, although it is a relatively short dungeon compared to the rest. In this dungeon, a small contingent of ghosts appear when Link's heightened wolf senses are used to help Link on certain puzzles-in one room, they point to a painting that must be shot with a bomb arrow; in another, Link must follow the pointing fingers of Hyrule's undead elite, as deviating from the path they indicate places link on floors that will drop out from under him. | |||

After transforming into a wolf, Link is thrown into the castle dungeon, but escapes with [[Midna]] to Princess Zelda's chamber, where Zelda explains the castle was overrun by twilight creatures led by [[Zant]]. Later in the game, a force field surrounds the castle. At the end of the game, the true nature of the force field is explained. [[Ganondorf]] has returned to Hyrule and captured the castle. The final fight with Ganondorf partly takes place in the throne room of the castle, where the first two phases of the battle are fought--Ganondorf first possesses Zelda, but Link is able to defeat him without harming her. Ganondorf then takes the form of a raging boar. After Ganon's exterior form is destroyed, his "spirit" battles Midna, and as a result, the castle seemingly explodes. Ganondorf survives, reforms himself into his true Gerudo form, and the rest of the battle takes place in Hyrule Field. After the battle, the Hyrule Castle throne room is seen in pristine condition, but it is unclear whether it was simply rebuilt, or if the explosion did not directly take place at the castle at all, or even if the view is from before the explosion itself. | After transforming into a wolf, Link is thrown into the castle dungeon, but escapes with [[Midna]] to Princess Zelda's chamber, where Zelda explains the castle was overrun by twilight creatures led by [[Zant]].

Hyrule Castle also appears as an arena in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. Its design is based on the castle from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', which was the latest ''The Legend of Zelda'' game that was released at the time. Occasionally, a [[cyclone]] appears as an obstacle. | |||
