Keep

Keeps are critical strongholds in.

Features and Overview
Keeps represent territories that the Hyrulean Forces and Dark Forcess fight over. They are often walled structures filled with enemy forces that must be defeated. The progression of the Hyrulean Forces' control over the Keeps are indicated by a Keep Meter, which appears beneath the names of the respective Keeps. While the Dark Forces control Keeps, they may call upon reinforcements in an attempt to sway the battle in their favor. In order to prevent this, the Hyrulean Forces must deplete the Keep Meter, which summons the Keep Boss. Keep Bosses are tougher variants of enemies that serve as the last line of defense for Keeps. Once defeated, Keeps will switch control over to the Hyrulean Forces until they are overrun by Dark Forces again.

Keeps that are controlled by the Hyrulean Forces are overseen by key members of the Hyrulean army, such as the Captains. When a Keep is in danger of falling to the Dark Forces, a notice will be given, prompting Link and his allies to return and defend them.
