Throne Room


 * For the area in Twilight Princess, see Hyrule Castle Tower.

The Throne Room is a location in A Link Between Worlds. Consisting of only a single room, it serves as the stage of the final battle of the game, where Link faces Yuga and Princess Hilda for the freedom of Princess Zelda and ownership of Hyrule's Triforce. Despite the Throne Room being part of Lorule Castle, the game demarcates them as separate dungeons.

Themes and Navigation
After unlocking the main door at the end of Lorule Castle, Link is able to access Princess Hilda's offices, which contains a portal back to Princess Zelda's offices in Hyrule that now contain several Fairies. Link follows the same path from Princess Hilda's private office to the Throne Room, where he learns of Princess Hilda's duplicity and conspiracy with Yuga to steal Hyrule's Triforce to restore Lorule, which lost its own Triforce when Hilda's ancestors destroyed it to stop the endless wars fought over it. After sharing this story with Link, Hilda steals the Triforce of Wisdom from Princess Zelda, who is contained in her painting nearby. She then summons Yuga Ganon, commanding him to take the Triforce of Courage from Link. The hero bests the beast, who captures Princess Hilda in a painting as well, and absorbs it to gain the Triforce of Wisdom. Yuga Ganon then attempts the Triforce of Courage again, but falls to the blade of the Master Sword, releasing both Hilda and Zelda.
