Ganon's Castle is the final dungeon of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', located in the [[Castle Town|Market]] in the future, when it is in shambles.<br /><br />When Link goes to [[Hyrule Castle]] in the past, wielding all three [[Spiritual Stones]], he will witness [[Princess Zelda]] riding out with [[Impa]], and Zelda will throw the [[Ocarina of Time]] into the moat. They are closely followed by [[Ganon|Ganondorf]], who questions Link a bit. So Link goes to the [[Temple of Time|Temple of Time]], in which he plays the [[Song of Time]], and picks up the [[Master Sword]], which is his ticket to the [[Sacred Realm]]. Trouble unfolds when Ganondorf follows him in, when he wields the [[Triforce of Power]]. 7 years later, Link awakens as the true [[Hero of Time]]. He goes to the Market to find out it's in shambles, and inhabited now by [[ReDead]]s. If he gos up the path to [[Hyrule Castle]], he will realize Ganondorf has attacked it, and built a new Castle in it's place, Ganon's Castle.


==How to Enter==
{{ZD|[https://www.zeldadungeon.net/ocarina-of-time-walkthrough/ganons-castle/ ''Ocarina of Time'' Walkthrough<br/>Chapter 14: Ganon's Castle]}}


Once you complete the 5 temples, and awaken the 6 Ancient [[Sages]], go to Hyrule Castle, in which they will build a magical bridge across the sea of lava. Simply go across it, and enter the large doorway to appear in Ganon's Castle.
'''Ganon's Castle''' is the final [[dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. [[Hyrule Castle]] is rebuilt as Ganon's Castle in the future.


==Rooms==
When Link heads to [[Hyrule Castle]] in the past, wielding all three [[Spiritual Stones]], he witnesses [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] riding out with [[Impa]], and Zelda throws the [[Ocarina of Time]] into the moat. They are closely followed by [[Ganon]]dorf, who questions Link a bit. So Link heads to the [[Temple of Time]], in which he plays the [[Song of Time]], and picks up the [[Master Sword]], which is his ticket to the [[Sacred Realm]]. Trouble unfolds when Ganondorf follows him in, when he wields the [[Triforce of Power]]. Seven years later, Link awakens as the true [[Hero of Time]]. Link goes to the Market to find out it is in shambles, and now inhabited by [[ReDead]]s. If Link goes up the path to [[Hyrule Castle]], he realizes Ganondorf has destroyed it, and built a new castle in its place, Ganon's Castle.


Ganon's Castle has rooms corresponding to the 6 Temples: [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]], the [[Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Fire Temple]], the [[Water Temple]], the [[Shadow Temple]], the [[Spirit Temple]] and the [[Temple of Light]]. Each one has a barrier that you must destroy with [[Light Arrow]]s, which will allow the [[Sage]] of the corresponding Temple destroy it. Inside the Shadow Barrier section, Link will find the [[Golden Gauntlets]], which are needed to finish the Fire Barrier. (Also requiring the Gauntlets, there is a secret outside, behind a giant grey rock, in which the [[Great Fairy]] of Courage is hiding. If you play [[Zelda's Lullaby]], she will enhance your defense, meaning you take half damage from enemies.) Back inside, with all barriers destroyed, Link finally enters the door, and climbs the long staircase to face off with The Great King of Evil, [[Ganon|Ganondorf]].  
==Entering Ganon's Castle==
Once Link has completed the five temples and awakened the Six [[Sage]]s, he can head to the former location of Hyrule Castle. There, accompanied by an announcement from [[Rauru (Ocarina of Time)|Rauru]], the Sages create a magical bridge across the sea of lava. Link can now simply go across it and enter the large doorway to appear inside Ganon's Castle.
 
==Trials==
Ganon's Castle has Trials corresponding to the six temples; the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]], the [[Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Fire Temple]], the [[Water Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Water Temple]], the [[Shadow Temple]], the [[Spirit Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Spirit Temple]], and the [[Temple of Light]]. Each one has a barrier that Link must disrupt with [[Light Arrow]]s, which allows the Sage of the corresponding temple to destroy it. Inside the Shadow Trial section, Link finds the [[Golden Gauntlets]], which are needed to finish the Fire Trial. (Also requiring the Gauntlets, there is a secret outside, behind a giant gray rock, in which the [[Great Fairy]] of Courage is hiding. If Link plays [[Zelda's Lullaby]], she enhances Link's defense, meaning he takes half damage from enemies.) Back inside, with all barriers destroyed, Link finally enters [[Ganon's Tower]].
 
==Ganon's Tower==
Ganon's Tower contains five floors, linked with spiral staircases:
*The first floor has a pair of [[Lizalfos]], who must be defeated to progress.
*The second floor has a pair of [[Stalfos]]. Defeating them causes the [[Boss Key]] chest to appear.
*The third floor has a pair of [[Iron Knuckle]]s, which must once again be defeated to progress.
*The fourth floor has a number of pots and a large pillar in the centre. Leaving the pots untouched is advisable.
 
Passing through all these leads Link to the top of the tower,  to face off with the Great King of Evil, [[Ganon]]dorf.


==Ganondorf==
==Ganondorf==
The battle with Ganondorf, in which Z-Targeting cannot be used, begins with a round of [[Dead Man's Volley]] - if Link successfully out-rallies Ganondorf, stunning him, he can shoot a [[Light Arrow]] to temporarily bring him down, allowing him to jump across and use his sword to deal damage. After several rounds, Ganondorf will randomly begin to summon a ball of energy which splits and cannot be returned by Link. He can either dodge this, or shoot Ganondorf with a Light Arrow during the summoning animation.


The battle with Ganondorf is exactly like [[Phantom Ganon]] from the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]], so there's not much to note.
Once enough damage is done, Ganondorf will fall, fatally injured, and destroy the top of the tower. Zelda will then escape from her forcefield and lead Link down the tower and outside before it fully collapses.


==Ganon==
==Ganon==
After climbing down Ganon's Castle, Link faces off with [[Ganon]], Ganondorf's beast form, created using the [[Triforce of Power]]. For the first round, Ganon will knock the [[Master Sword]] away behind a wall of flame, and Link must hit Ganon's tail with another weapon. Light Arrows can be used to stun him and make it easier to get behind him.
After enough damage is dealt, Ganon is stunned, and the wall of fire will temporarily collapse. Once Link has retrieved the Master Sword, he revives, and the second phase is very similar to the first, except that damage *must* be dealt with the Master Sword.
Enough swipes to the tail brings Ganon to his knees, allowing Zelda to hold him down and Link to stab him in the head with the Master Sword. This sends Ganon into a rage, allowing the [[Sage]]s to seal him in the [[Sacred Realm|Dark World]].


After climbing down [[Ganon's Tower]], you will face off with [[Ganon]], Ganondorf's beast form, created using the [[Triforce of Power]].
