Hyrule Castle is a location and dungeon in Tears of the Kingdom.

Tears of the Kingdom

Hyrule Castle is split into two during the Upheaval triggered by Ganondorf's Awakening in the Imprisoning Chamber within the Depths Beneath Hyrule Castle. The outermost area, including the Dining Hall and First Gatehouse, and much of the lower levels remain on the ground. The rest, including the entire central core of the castle, is raised up on a pillar over the Hyrule Castle Chasm. This upper section includes the Sanctum, Princess Zelda's Room, Princess Zelda's Study and Library. It also includes the Serutabomac Shrine.

As a Dungeon

In-depth guide: Walkthrough:Hyrule Castle (Tears of the Kingdom)

After Link solves the Regional Phenomena and reports to Purah at Lookout Landing, a Blood Moon suddenly rises and the figure of Princess Zelda appears on the castle. Purah sends Link to investigate, and he is forced to chase Zelda around the castle, only for her to disappear and be replaced by Monster Forces whenever he gets close.

He finally manages to confront her in the Sanctum, where she generates the illusion of the pre-Great Calamity throne room, before the ghostly figure of Ganondorf appears and reveals "Zelda" to be a puppet of his. He then transforms it into a Phantom Ganon, and two waves of Phantom Ganons attack Link. When Link defeats them, Ganondorf explodes the last of them in a wave of gloom, but Link is saved from it by the intervention of the four sages. Ganondorf then taunts them, and forces a memory of The Demon King's Army onto the group, stunning them. After this, the sages retreat to Lookout Landing for a council of war, and Link follows soon afterward.

Korok Seeds

• At the entrance gate to the dungeon that leads from the Hyrule Castle Town Ruins, Link can climb up to the top. The broken spire on the east has a small rock that Link can lift up to get the Korok Seed.
