==Trivia==
*In the Japanese version of ''A Link to the Past'', the Sanctuary is known as the Church, while the [[Loyal Sage]] is known as the Priest. A few other minor name changes were made to the game for similar reasons. Visually, the location and the Sage remain the same despite the name change.

Overview

File:ALttP Sanctuary.png
Official artwork of the Sanctuary

A secret underground tunnel runs between the castle and the Sanctuary. After Link rescues Princess Zelda from her prison in Hyrule Castle, the young hero uses this tunnel to take her to the Sanctuary. She remains there with the Loyal Sage, hiding from Agahnim.[1] However, when the young hero withdraws the Master Sword from its pedestal, the Sanctuary is attacked by castle soldiers.[2] When Link reaches the Sanctuary, he finds the mortally-wounded Loyal Sage lying on the ground. The sage informs the young hero that the princess was kidnapped and taken back to the castle so Agahnim could use her to open the Seven Sages' seal.[3]

The Sanctuary is last seen during the ending credits, showing that the Loyal Sage has fully recovered from his wounds.
