North Castle

The North Castle is a location in The Adventure of Link and the place where the game begins. Princess Zelda lies in an enchanted sleep on a dais within the heart of the North Castle. It is a place steeped in history, especially concerning her story, which states that she was laid to rest within the castle's walls an age before the events of the game after being cast into an enchanted slumber by an evil magician who wished to force the location of the Triforce of Courage out of her alongside her brother, the Prince of Hyrule. The prince then laid her to rest in the North Castle and gave the order that any future female members of the Royal Family of Hyrule would be named Zelda in commemoration of his sister's memory. The castle is one of the few friendly places for Link during the events of the game and is able to be visited at any time during the game.
