It is visited twice by {{Term|ALttP|Link|link}} throughout his adventure: first to rescue {{Term|ALttP|Princess Zelda}} from her cell, and later to battle {{Term|ALttP|Agahnim}} before being transported to the {{Term|ALttP|Dark World|link}}. The main {{Term|ALttP|Item}} obtained is the {{Term|ALttP|Boomerang}}.
 
==Entrance to the {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle|display=Castle}}==
After {{Term|ALttP|Link|link}} is telepathically contacted by {{Term|ALttP|Princess Zelda|link}} to rescue her from {{Term|ALttP|Agahnim|link}}'s clutches in {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle}},<ref>{{Cite|Help me... Please help me... I am a prisoner in the dungeon of the castle. My name is Zelda. The wizard, Agahnim, has done... something to the other missing girls. Now only I remain...|Princess Zelda|ALttP}}</ref> the young hero uncovers a hidden hole beneath a bush northeast of the {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle|display=Castle}} that leads him into a secret passage.<ref>{{Cite|I know there is a hidden path from outside of the castle to the garden inside.|Princess Zelda|OoT}}</ref> He then finds his {{Term|ALttP|Link's Uncle|display=Uncle|link}} has been mortally wounded and receives his {{Term|ALttP|Sword|link}} and {{Term|ALttP|Fighter's Shield|display=shield|link}} before passing away.<ref>{{Cite|Unnh...

==Themes and Navigation==
[[File:zeldadungeon.png|thumb|left|{{Term|ALttP|Princess Zelda}} in the {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle|display=Castle}} {{Term|ALttP|Dungeon}} as {{Term|ALttP|Link}} is about to greet her]]
{{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle}} is overrun by {{Term|ALttP|Soldier (Enemy)|display=corrupted soldiers|link}} who attack {{Term|ALttP|Link|link}} on sight. The first time {{Term|ALttP|Link}} visits the {{Term|ALttP|Dungeon|link}}, he must traverse the maze-like {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle|display=Castle}} to find {{Term|ALttP|Princess Zelda|link}}'s cell. On his way, he finds the {{Term|ALttP|Boomerang|link}}, which can be used to stun the {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle|display=Castle}} {{Plural|ALttP|Soldier}}. Guarding {{Term|ALttP|Princess Zelda}}'s cell is the {{Term|ALttP|Ball and Chain Soldier|display=Ball and Chain Trooper|link}}, whom {{Term|ALttP|Link}} must defeat in order to free Zelda from her prison. Together, they head towards the {{Term|ALttP|King of Hyrule|display=King}}'s chamber to reveal a path that takes them to the {{Term|ALttP|Secret Passage|link}}, which eventually leads them into the {{Term|ALttP|Sanctuary (A Link to the Past)|link}}.
 
At this point, {{Term|ALttP|Agahnim}} makes the upper levels of the {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle|display=Castle}} inaccessible by creating an electrical barrier that cannot be bypassed. It can only be destroyed once {{Term|ALttP|Link}} retrieves the {{Term|ALttP|Master Sword|link}} from the {{Term|ALttP|Lost Woods|link}}. With the {{Term|ALttP|Master Sword|display=Sword}} in hand, he can access the upper area of the {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle|display=Castle}} and destroy the barrier with a single slash from the {{Term|ALttP|Master Sword|display=Blade of Evil's Bane}}. This area of the {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle|display=Castle}} requires {{Term|ALttP|Link}} to defeat various enemy {{Plural|ALttP|Soldier}} in order to reach the top of the {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle|display=Castle}}. Although he can evade some of the foes, some of the rooms will require that {{Term|ALttP|Link}} defeat all the enemies before proceeding. After reaching the top of the {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle|display=Castle}}, {{Term|ALttP|Link}} witnesses {{Term|ALttP|Agahnim}} as he sends {{Term|ALttP|Princess Zelda}} to the {{Term|ALttP|Dark World|link}}. The young hero must then burn the middle curtain with the use of his {{Term|ALttP|Lantern|link}} to enter another room and battle against the evil wizard who, upon his defeat, sends {{Term|ALttP|Link}} to the {{Term|ALttP|Dark World}}.
