The east Castle Town bridge[1], known as the west Castle Town bridge in the Nintendo Wii version[2] and in Hero Mode of Twilight Princess HD, is a location that appears in Twilight Princess.
Twilight Princess
The path between the Eldin section of Hyrule Field and the Castle Town East Road is actually marked by two bridges - the outer bridge, over an apparently-natural Bottomless Pit chasm and originally made of stone, which ends in a tunnel bored through a natural cliff-face; and an inner bridge over a river or moat around the castle town walls.
When Link first tries to use the path, he finds the outer bridge is destroyed, making it impossible to cross. One lone Goron, Gor Liggs' Son, waits by the broken bridge, hoping that it can one day be restored.[3]
After Link has obtained the Master Sword, a crowdfunder is set up in Kakariko Village. Gor Ebizo, a Goron Elder, can be found inside Malo Mart, where he asks for generous donations from Link to restore the bridge. After Link donates a total of 1,000 Rupees, the bridge is successfully rebuilt in wood. Subsequently, a new crowdfunding attempt is set up with the aim of opening a Malo Mart store in Castle Town; however, this requires a substantial amount of Rupees, 2,000 in total.
Even though the bridge is now repaired, Gor Liggs' son is too tired to begin selling stuff.[4] After hinting that he needs Hot Spring Water,[5] Link returns to Kakariko Village, where he speaks to the Goron's father, Gor Liggs. He offers to help Link revitalize his son. The Goron Elder hands Link a large barrel of Hot Spring Water, which he must successfully deliver to the western bridge. On his journey through Hyrule Field, Link must dodge any enemies that threaten to break the barrel. In addition, since the Hot Spring Water only stays at its current temperature for a limited time, Link must deliver it while it is still piping hot. After reaching the lone Goron and throwing the barrel directly at him, he regains his strength and rolls in the direction of Kakariko Village. As the Goron departs, he leaves behind a Piece of Heart, which Link can obtain. In addition to this, the amount of donations needed in Malo Mart reduces to 200 Rupees, making it much easier for Link to successfully help the store chain expand.
The inner bridge is a wooden structure between the tunnel and the castle town walls, where a pair of Bulblin Archers lurk, and a Kargarok may attack Link.
