==Features and Overview==
==={{TMC|-}}===
The {{Term|TMC|Throne Room}} is located within {{Term|TMC|Hyrule Castle|link}} in {{TMC}}. {{Term|TMC|King Daltus|link}} resides within it until he is turned to stone by {{Term|TMC|Vaati|link}}, who takes his place. {{Term|TMC|Minister Potho|link}} and {{Term|TMC|Princess Zelda|link}} are also found here, the latter also having been turned to stone.
 
When {{Term|TMC|Vaati}} transforms {{Term|TMC|Hyrule Castle}} into {{Term|TMC|Dark Hyrule Castle|link}}, the {{Term|TMC|Throne Room}} becomes an arena for {{Term|TMC|Link|link}} to fight a {{Term|TMC|Red Dark Nut|link}}. After it is defeated, the throne can be pushed aside to reveal a staircase leading to a subterranean level of the {{Term|TMC|Dark Hyrule Castle|display=Castle}}.
 
==={{ALBW|-}}===
The {{Term|ALBW|Throne Room}} is a single chamber inside {{Term|ALBW|Lorule Castle|link}} in {{ALBW}}. The {{Term|ALBW|Throne Room}} serves as the stage of the final battle of the game, where {{Term|ALBW|Link|link}} faces {{Term|ALBW|Yuga Ganon|link}} and {{Term|ALBW|Princess Hilda|link}} for the freedom of {{Term|ALBW|Princess Zelda|link}} and ownership of {{Term|ALBW|Hyrule|link}}'s {{Term|ALBW|Triforce|link}}. After unlocking the main door at the end of {{Term|ALBW|Lorule Castle}}, {{Term|ALBW|Link}} is able to access {{Term|ALBW|Princess Hilda|link}}'s offices, which contains a portal back to {{Term|ALBW|Princess Zelda}}'s offices in {{Term|ALBW|Hyrule}} that now contain several {{Plural|ALBW|Fairy|link}}. {{Term|ALBW|Link}} follows the same path from {{Term|ALBW|Princess Hilda}}'s private office to the {{Term|ALBW|Throne Room}}, where he learns of {{Term|ALBW|Princess Hilda}}'s duplicity and conspiracy with {{Term|ALBW|Yuga|link}} to steal {{Term|ALBW|Hyrule}}'s {{Term|ALBW|Triforce}} to restore {{Term|ALBW|Lorule|link}}, which lost its own {{Term|ALBW|Triforce}} when {{Term|ALBW|Princess Hilda}}'s ancestors destroyed it to stop the endless wars fought over it. After sharing this story with {{Term|ALBW|Link}}, {{Term|ALBW|Princess Hilda|display=Hilda}} steals the {{Term|ALBW|Triforce of Wisdom|link}} from {{Term|ALBW|Princess Zelda}}, who is contained in her painting nearby. She then summons {{Term|ALBW|Yuga Ganon}}, commanding him to take the {{Term|ALBW|Triforce of Courage|link}} from {{Term|ALBW|Link}}. The hero bests the beast, who captures {{Term|ALBW|Princess Hilda}} in a painting as well, and absorbs it to gain the {{Term|ALBW|Triforce of Wisdom}}. {{Term|ALBW|Yuga Ganon}} then attempts to take the {{Term|ALBW|Triforce of Courage}} again, but falls to the blade of the {{Term|ALBW|Master Sword|link}}, exploding in a burst of dark energy and releasing both {{Term|ALBW|Princess Hilda|display=Hilda}} and {{Term|ALBW|Princess Zelda|display=Zelda}}.
 
==={{BotW|-}}===
Two separate {{Plural|BotW|Throne Room}} exist in {{BotW|-}}. The first is a part of {{Term|BotW|Zora's Domain|link}}, housing {{Term|BotW|King Dorephan|link}} of the {{Plural|BotW|Zora|link}}. The second makes up the first floor of {{Term|BotW|Hyrule Castle (Dungeon)|link}}'s {{Term|BotW|Sanctum|link}}.<ref name="CaC">{{Cite Book|quote= |book= CaC |publisher= |page= 253}}</ref>
 
In {{Term|BotW|Zora's Domain}}, {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} first enters the {{Term|BotW|Throne Room}} at the behest of {{Term|BotW|Sidon|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Welcome! Behold the pride of my people, {{Color|BotW Blue|Zora's Domain}}! Now I shall introduce you to the king. Hurry, this way!|Sidon|BotW}}</ref> There, he meets {{Term|BotW|Muzu|link}} and {{Term|BotW|King Dorephan}}, the latter of whom recognizes him as the {{Term|BotW|Hylian|link}} {{Term|BotW|Champions|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|{{Big|HMMM?!}} Now that I have gotten a good look at you, it is all too clear who you are... You are the Hylian Champion, Link!|King Dorephan|BotW}}</ref> He tells {{Term|BotW|Link}} about the troubles that {{Term|BotW|Zora's Domain}} is facing because of {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Ruta|link}}, asking him to work with {{Term|BotW|Sidon}} to quell its rampage.<ref>{{Cite|Now then. Hero...I must inform you that Zora's Domain is in danger of vanishing because of {{Color|BotW Blue|Divine Beast Vah Ruta}}. I shall do you the courtesy of speaking bluntly. We alone cannot stop this beast. Will you lend us your strength?|King Dorephan|BotW}}</ref> As a show of his faith, {{Term|BotW|King Dorephan}} gifts {{Term|BotW|Link}} the {{Term|BotW|Zora Armor|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Now then, allow me to offer you this gift as a show of faith.|King Dorephan|BotW}}</ref>
 
Angered by this, {{Term|BotW|Muzu}} storms out of the {{Term|BotW|Throne Room}}.<ref>{{Cite|This is just too much, my liege! I do not understand it one bit!|Muzu|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Sidon}} will follow him in the hopes that he can change his mind.<ref>{{Cite|Link! Do not let his words concern you. I will work this out with Muzu. I shall return shortly!|Sidon|BotW}}</ref> After {{Term|BotW|Sidon}} leaves, {{Term|BotW|King Dorephan}} sends {{Term|BotW|Link}} after them both.<ref>{{Cite|Link... Muzu is most likely at the square down below. Would you mind going down there? I would like you to try to speak with him.|King Dorephan|BotW}}</ref>
 
[[File:BotW Zora Handshake.png|thumb|right|250px|{{Term|BotW|Sidon}} shaking {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s hand]]
After {{Term|BotW|Link}} has calmed {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Ruta}}, all of the {{Plural|BotW|Zora}} will gather in the {{Term|BotW|Throne Room}} to congratulate him.<ref>{{Cite|Link! You did well to survive your trial! I have been awaiting your return!|King Dorephan|BotW}}</ref> As a reward, {{Term|BotW|King Dorephan}} allows {{Term|BotW|Link}} to take the contents of the stone {{Term|BotW|Treasure Chest|link}} nearby, which he claims was an {{Term|BotW|Item|link}} cherished by {{Term|BotW|Mipha|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Link! I must reward your efforts! Now then! I implore you to collect the treasure inside that chest over there. It was cherished by Mipha. A memento of sorts. I would like you to have it as a token of our friendship. Please take good care of it.|King Dorephan|BotW}}</ref> In the {{Term|BotW|Treasure Chest|display=Chest}}, {{Term|BotW|Link}} will find the {{Term|BotW|Lightscale Trident|link}}. On behalf of all the {{Plural|BotW|Zora}}, {{Term|BotW|King Dorephan}} thanks {{Term|BotW|Link}} and {{Term|BotW|Sidon}}.<ref>{{Cite|Link, all of the Zora thank you from the depths of our hearts for your heroic and selfless work! ...And you too, Sidon. As your father, I am proud of you for fighting the Divine Beast alongside Link.|King Dorephan|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Sidon}} himself thanks {{Term|BotW|Link}}, shaking his hand and cheering for him along with the rest of the {{Plural|BotW|Zora}}.<ref>{{Cite|{{Big|Link! This is wonderful!}} Link! Thank you so much! Truly, I could never thank you enough! You helped save our home from vanishing away! This calls for a top-tier expression of gratitude! ZO! ZO! RA RA RA! With all my heart... Thank you!|Sidon|BotW}}</ref>
 
When {{Term|BotW|Link}} starts the "{{Term|BotW|EX Champion Mipha's Song|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Main Quest|link}}, which is exclusive to {{TCB}} [[DLC]] Pack, {{Term|BotW|Mipha's Diary|link}} will appear in the {{Term|BotW|Throne Room}}.<ref>{{Cite|[Mipha's Diary?] Ah, of course. {{Color|BotW Blue|Mipha's Diary}} was found just recently. Its discovery brought me much joy. It is on {{Color|BotW Blue|that table over there}}.|King Dorephan|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|King Dorephan}} gives {{Term|BotW|Link}} permission to read it, believing {{Term|BotW|Mipha}} would forgive him if he did so.<ref>{{Cite|I do not mind if you choose to read it. I am sure {{Color|BotW Blue|Mipha}} would forgive you anything.|King Dorephan|BotW}}</ref>
 
[[File:BotW Throne Room 2.png|thumb|left|250px|The {{Term|BotW|Throne Room}} in {{Term|BotW|Hyrule Castle}}]]
In {{Term|BotW|Hyrule Castle (Dungeon)}}, the {{Term|BotW|Throne Room}} is located on the lowest level of the {{Term|BotW|Sanctum}}. Even in its ruined condition, it is heavily decorated with banners, statues, and carpets. The floor of the {{Term|BotW|Sanctum}} is decorated with a circular pattern with the symbol of the {{Term|BotW|Triforce|link}} engraved in the center. The {{Plural|BotW|Marks of the Goddesses|link}} positioned in the center of each respective {{Term|BotW|Triforce}} piece while the {{Term|BotW|Royal Crest|link}} sits in the negative space created by the triangles. The metal decoration above the throne bears the symbol of the {{Term|BotW|Triforce}}, in addition to a circular music scale depicting "{{Term|BotW|Zelda's Lullaby|link}}".
 
Following the {{Term|BotW|Great Calamity|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Princess Zelda|link}} used her newly-awakened sealing power to contain {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon|link}} within the interior of the {{Term|BotW|Sanctum}}, where he bides his time and gathers strength to escape her grasp.<ref>{{Cite|The words of guidance you have been hearing since your awakening are from Princess Zelda herself. Even now, as she works to restrain Ganon from within Hyrule Castle, she calls out for your help.|King Rhoam|BotW}}</ref> Inside the {{Term|BotW|Throne Room}}, {{Term|BotW|Link}} will find {{Term|BotW|Ganon's Cocoon|link}} suspended from the ceiling. If {{Term|BotW|Link}} enters without having defeated any of the four {{Plural|BotW|Blight Ganon|link}}, he will be forced to face them. They consistently appear in the order of {{Term|BotW|Windblight Ganon|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Waterblight Ganon|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Fireblight Ganon|link}}, and then {{Term|BotW|Thunderblight Ganon|link}}. If {{Term|BotW|Link}} defeated any of them prior to entering the {{Term|BotW|Throne Room}}, they will not appear.
 
Once all four have been defeated, whether in the {{Term|BotW|Throne Room}} or their respective {{Plural|BotW|Divine Beast|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Link}} will hear the voice of {{Term|BotW|Princess Zelda}}.<ref>{{Cite|{{Small|... Link....}} Link...|Princess Zelda|BotW}}</ref> She apologizes for not being able to hold {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon}} back any longer.<ref>{{Cite|I'm sorry...but my power isn't strong enough... I can't hold him...|Zelda|BotW}}</ref> A {{Term|BotW|Guardian|link}} laser bursts out of {{Term|BotW|Ganon's Cocoon|link}}, breaking it open and releasing {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon}}. Due to {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon|display=Ganon}}'s weight, the fall breaks the floor of the {{Term|BotW|Throne Room}}, causing both of them to fall into the {{Term|BotW|Astral Observatory|link}}.

==Other Appearances==
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.

*Even though the Throne Room is technically a part of [[Lorule Castle]], the game treats it as a separate location from the rest of the castle, and gives it its own map.
