Hyrule Castle (A Link to the Past)

, also known as the Castle of Hyrule, is a ALttP: in. It is visited twice by ALttP: throughout his adventure: first to rescue ALttP: from her cell, and later to battle ALttP: before being transported to the ALttP:. The main ALttP: obtained is the ALttP:.

Entrance to the ALttP:
After ALttP: is telepathically contacted by ALttP: to rescue her from ALttP:'s clutches in ALttP:, the young hero uncovers a hidden hole beneath a bush northeast of the ALttP: that leads him into a secret passage. He then finds his ALttP: has been mortally wounded and receives his ALttP: and ALttP: before passing away.

Themes and Navigation
ALttP: is overrun by ALttP: who attack ALttP: on sight. The first time ALttP: visits the ALttP:, he must traverse the maze-like ALttP: to find ALttP:'s cell. On his way, he finds the ALttP:, which can be used to stun the ALttP: NaN Soldiers. Guarding ALttP:'s cell is the ALttP:, whom ALttP: must defeat in order to free Zelda from her prison. Together, they head towards the ALttP:'s chamber to reveal a path that takes them to the ALttP:, which eventually leads them into the ALttP:.

At this point, ALttP: makes the upper levels of the ALttP: inaccessible by creating an electrical barrier that cannot be bypassed. It can only be destroyed once ALttP: retrieves the ALttP: from the ALttP:. With the ALttP: in hand, he can access the upper area of the ALttP: and destroy the barrier with a single slash from the ALttP:. This area of the ALttP: requires ALttP: to defeat various enemy NaN Soldiers in order to reach the top of the ALttP:. Although he can evade some of the foes, some of the rooms will require that ALttP: defeat all the enemies before proceeding. After reaching the top of the ALttP:, ALttP: witnesses ALttP: as he sends ALttP: to the ALttP:. The young hero must then burn the middle curtain with the use of his ALttP: to enter another room and battle against the evil wizard who, upon his defeat, sends ALttP: to the ALttP:.
