The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Guide › Dungeon 9: Hyrule Castle

Hyrule Castle: Overview

The time has come to halt the evil thief, puppet master, and tyrant known as Ganondorf once and for all! He holds the sway of power from an upper chamber—Zelda’s throne room in fact—and you must journey to this tightly guarded area. Once Midna reveals the true power of her ancestors, you can finally enter Hyrule Castle of your own free will, and wander the massive grounds locating chests, puzzles, keys, and an old fiend for one more Bulblin battle! Once you’ve gathered all the Small Keys outside, head into the castle, where the toughest foes you’ve faced in your journeys have been summoned by Ganondorf to do battle in arenas. In between your swordplay, raid the castle’s many chests before heading up the central tower, optionally opening a treasure trove, and finally facing your final foe for the ultimate confrontation!
