As a means of protection, the Town is usually surrounded by a moat that is only accessible via bridges or drawbridges. Throughout the ''Zelda'' series, Castle Town has been prone to conflict multiple times and has been the subject of invasion more than once.

However, when Link returns seven years later after retrieving the [[Master Sword]] from its pedestal, he is shocked to find the town completely in ruins as a result of [[Ganondorf]]'s invasion. Most of its citizens managed to escape to [[Kakariko Village]], leaving the town to be invaded by hordes of [[ReDead]]s. Due to this, Link can no longer enter any of the previously inhabited locales of the Market. Directly outside of town, the drawbridge has been destroyed by Ganondorf, allowing the city to be accessed by Link during the day as well as the night.  However, because of this, the monsters outside of town were able to cross the rubble of the bridge and gain access to the town as well.

====Back Alley====
[[File:Backalley2.jpg|The Back Alley|thumb|right]]
An area known as the '''Back Alley''' is also situated within the Castle Town, and it is considerably less crowded and quieter than its market counterpart mostly due to the fact that this is where most of the Town citizens live. Few people roam these streets, so [[Link]] can usually only find one or two people dawdling in the Alley at any given hour. The young hero can only enter through three doors in the Back Alley, two of which are residents' homes and the other being the [[Bombchu Shop]].
After obtaining all of the three [[Spiritual Stones]] and retrieving the [[Ocarina of Time (Item)|Ocarina of Time]] from the moat near the Castle Town entrance, Link can go to the Back Alley to witness a dying soldier in the east area of the Alley. If the young hero speaks to him, he will tell Link about [[Ganondorf]]'s betrayal of the King as well as [[Princess Zelda]]'s escape from the Castle. He then urges Link to go to the Temple of Time before taking his final breath and dying. If Link tries to speak to him again, [[Navi]] will mention that he's not moving anymore.<ref>{{Cite|Unnngh...are you the boy from the forest...? I-I-I have something to t-t-tell you... Ganondorf, the Gerudo King of Thieves, betrayed our King... Zelda's nanny, Impa, sensed danger and escaped from the castle with our Princess... The Princess was... waiting for a boy from the forest... that's you... She wanted to give something to the boy... If you received it from the Princess, hurry... to the Temple of Time....|Soldier|OoT}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|He's not moving anymore....|Navi|OoT}}</ref>
Once Link becomes an adult, the Back Alley becomes inaccessible due to its entrances being blocked off by rubble.

{{Term|TMC|Hyrule Town}} is located in central {{Term|TMC|Hyrule|link}} in {{TMC}}. It connects to four other areas: {{Term|TMC|Lon Lon Ranch|link}} to the east, {{Term|TMC|North Hyrule Field|link}} to the north, {{Term|TMC|South Hyrule Field|link}} to the south, and {{Term|TMC|Trilby Highlands|link}} to the west.
The {{Term|Series|Hyrule Castle Town|display=Town}} is named '''Hyrule Town''' in {{TMC}}, and is located in central {{Term|TMC|Hyrule|link}}. It connects to four other areas: {{Term|TMC|Lon Lon Ranch|link}} to the east, {{Term|TMC|North Hyrule Field|link}} to the north, {{Term|TMC|South Hyrule Field|link}} to the south, and {{Term|TMC|Trilby Highlands|link}} to the west.


Unlike the other games, there are no other {{Term|Series|Hylian}} settlements, and most important buildings can as such be found in {{Term|TMC|Hyrule Town}}. The {{Term|TMC|Hyrule Town|display=Town}} contains residential houses, a {{Term|TMC|Stockwell's Shop|link|display=Shop}}, a {{Term|TMC|Royal Hyrule Library|link|display=Library}}, a {{Term|TMC|Funday School|link|display=School}}, a {{Term|TMC|Bakery|link}}, a {{Term|TMC|Mama's Cafe|link|display=Cafe}}, an {{Term|TMC|Happy Hearth Inn|link|display=Inn}}, a {{Term|TMC|Post Office|link}}, a {{Term|TMC|Figurine Gallery|link}}, and several mini-games. The center square of the {{Term|TMC|Hyrule Town|display=Town}} is predominately the settlement's market place, featuring a few stalls run by merchants and several shop buildings around the area. Merchants come to this square to sell their wares, which eventually includes {{Term|TMC|Beedle|link}}, who sells {{Term|TMC|Picolyte|link}}, and a {{Term|TMC|Goron Merchant|link}}, who sells {{Plural|TMC|Kinstone Piece|link}}.

In {{TP}}, Hyrule Castle Town is much larger than in previous incarnations, being about three times larger than {{OoT|-}}'s. It is divided into four sections: the {{Exp|GCN version; East in the Wii version|West}} Road, {{Exp|GCN version; West in the Wii version|East}} Road, South Road, and the Central Square. As with previous appearances, the Castle Town is located within the same vicinity as Hyrule Castle, whose entrance lies north of the Central Square. The Castle Town is situated in the center of the [[Lanayru Province]], and becomes covered in [[Twilight]] when the province falls to it.

In {{ST}}, [[New Hyrule]] has a Castle Town that is located in front of the Hyrule Castle grounds and also houses a water fountain at the center, much like its predecessor. The Castle Town is very small in appearance, housing only a few buildings and people. It most notably features the [[Castle Town Shop]], which has a different design from other shops, and an endurance level known as [[Take 'Em All On!]] Unlike in previous games, the town is not obligatorily revisited often, and as such, not much occurs there. However, a woman there will give Link a [[Force Gem]] that will extend the [[Spirit Tracks (Object)|Track]]s in the [[Forest Realm]] in return for giving her the [[Fish]] purchased from [[Papuchia Village]]. A man here will also sell 5 Cuccos to Link for 50 Rupees, which can be transported by train to receive more Force Gems elsewhere.

==Trivia==
*Hyrule Castle Town and its [[Market]] were based on medieval {{Wp|Germany|German}} {{Wp|half-timbering|half-timbered}} homes. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] went to {{Wp|Lower Franconia}} and spent a few weeks in northern {{Wp|Bavaria}} for this inspiration.<ref>{{Cite Magazine|quote= ...eine noch realistischere Darstel-lung der hylianischen Welt, ganz nach den Vorstellungen Tanabes und Miyamotos, möglich.
