It isn't the longest dungeon in the game; however, it contains a collection of some of the most difficult enemies in the entire game. [[Link]] and [[Midna]] go to Hyrule Castle directy after learning from [[Zant]] that his 'God' ([[Ganon|Ganondorf]]) has escaped the [[Twilight Realm]], and has been reborn in the Light World. Midna makes the connection to the strange [[Twilight Barrier]] that has taken shape surrounding Hyrule Castle. She uses the [[Fused Shadow]]s to destroy the barrier and open the entrance to Hyrule Castle. | ||

This objective leads him into a fight with one of the [[Mini-Boss]]es of Hyrule Castle, [[King Bulblin]]. Once Link has gotten the key and has entered the castle, he will face off against the other two Mini-Bosses of the dungeon; a [[Darknut]] and an [[Aeralfos]]. Eventually, Link makes his way to the top of the castle, and into the [[Throne Room]]. Here, he finds Ganondorf, sitting on the Throne of Hyrule. They chat; and soon enough, Link and Ganondorf begin the final fight of the game; an epic four-phase battle that requires Link to have mastered everything he has learned throughout his adventure. | ||

Hyrule Castle features a mix of the hardest enemies | Hyrule Castle features a mix of the hardest enemies Twilight Princess has to offer. This is fitting because Hyrule Castle is the final [[Dungeon]] in ''Twilight Princess''. Below is a list of all the enemies in Hyrule Castle. | ||

Hyrule Castle features three separate | Hyrule Castle features three separate Mini-Bosses, all of which are very difficult enemies that are each much too familiar to Link. The three Mini-Bosses include [[King Bulblin]], a [[Darknut]], and an [[Aeralfos]]. The first battle is against King Bulblin in the Hyrule Castle Courtyard. This battle is very similar to the one that they had in the [[Bulblin Fortress|Bulblin hideout]] in the [[Gerudo Desert]], where King Bulblin was guarding the entrance to [[Arbiter's Grounds]]. It is a simple battle; constant [[Back Slice]]s or [[Helm Splitter]]s will easily defeat King Bulblin. The reward for defeating him is the key that will unlock the door that leads to Hyrule Castle. Next up is the battle against the [[Darknut]]. It is not any different from any Darknut fight Link has had before, and is a quick and easy battle. The only reward for winning this battle is the ability to move on in the dungeon. The final [[Mini-Boss]] battle in Hyrule Castle is against an Aeralfos. The Aeralfos is an enemy that Link has seen multiple times before, mainly inside the [[City in the Sky]], so again the battle is quite easy. The reward for defeating it is another [[Small Key]]. | ||

The [[Boss]] of Hyrule Castle is also the Final Boss of | The [[Boss]] of Hyrule Castle, whom is also the Final Boss of ''Twilight Princess'', is a very common [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Zelda]] villain, [[Ganon|Ganondorf]]. The battle against Ganondorf has four different phases, all of which involve Ganondorf being in a different form. In the first phase, he has possessed [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] and used her as a puppet to fight Link. Phase Number 2 has Ganondorf in his Ganon form, very similarly to the final battle against Ganondorf in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. The third phase takes place on horseback in [[Hyrule Field]]. The fourth and final phase is a classic [[Sword]]-and-[[Shield]] battle, where the best swordsman will win. After defeating Ganondorf, peace in [[Hyrule]] will be finally restored. | ||
==Dungeon Items== | ==Dungeon Items== | ||
Hyrule Castle features the same four Dungeon Items that all dungeons in ''Twilight Princess'' have; the Dungeon Map, the Compass, the Big Key, and the Small Keys. | |||
===Dungeon Map=== | ===Dungeon Map=== | ||
The [[Dungeon Map]] can be found in a Treasure Chest while Link is searching the left side, right side in the GCN version, of the Hyrule Castle Courtyard. The chest is guarded by a fence, and the only way to move this fence is to use the [[Gale Boomerang]] on the windmills in the area in a specific way designated by the design on the ground just ahead of the fence. Doing it correcting with allow Link the opportunity to grab the Dungeon Map. | |||
===Compass=== | ===Compass=== | ||
The second Dungeon Item is known as the [[Compass]]. The Compass will show Link the location of every [[Treasure Chest]] in the dungeon by displaying a small icon on the map which corresponds to the actual location of the chest. It can be found in the first room of the actual ''castle'' portion of the dungeon on the platform that Link can climb to with his [[Clawshot]]. The chest will not appear until Link has defeated all the [[Bokoblin]]s and [[Lizalfos|Lizalfoses]] in the area below. | |||
===Big Key=== | ===Big Key=== | ||
The [[Big Key]] is the one and only key that has the ability to open the locked door that guards the [[Throne Room]], the location where Ganondorf lies. It is found in a large chest inside Hyrule Castle. | |||
===Small Keys=== | ===Small Keys=== | ||
In total, there are three [[Small Key]]s found in Hyrule Castle that all unlock a locked door somewhere in the dungeon. The first is acquired after defeating King Bulblin. The second is found in a chest in the secret area to the north of the castle, and the final one is found on a balcony area inside Hyrule Castle, being guarded by an [[Aeralfos]]. Only two of these three keys are required to complete the dungeon, the third one is completely optional. If completed, it allows Link to enter a room that can be found directly beside the lcoked Boss Door. It is filled with chests that contain [[Rupee]]s and other goodies. | |||

This is by far the most of any dungeon in ''Twilight Princess''. Inside all these Treasure Chests are items that can be spilt in three main categories: [[Rupee]]s, Dungeon Items, and Regular Items. | ||
===Rupees=== | ===Rupees=== | ||
In total, there are sixteen | In total, there are sixteen Treasure Chests in Hyrule Castle that house any amount of [[Rupee]]s. Two of these chests holds the most valuable rupee in the entire game, the [[Silver Rupee]]. It is worth a whomping 200 Rupees, and is very, very rare. The next two chests both carry a single [[Orange Rupee]], which in ''Twilight Princess'' is worth 100 Rupees. The third most valuable rupee in ''Twilight Princess'', the [[Purple Rupee]], can be found in three chests. Of the 9 remaining chests, four hold a [[Red Rupee]], two hold a [[Yellow Rupee]], one carries a [[Blue Rupee]], and the final two house a single [[Green Rupee]]. That's a total of 857 Rupees waiting to be collected. Unfortunately, Rupees are pretty much useless at this point in the game, so most of, if not all, of these Rupees will be wasted. | ||
