'''[[Hyrule Castle]]''' is the final dungeon featured in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''.
 
==Entrance to the Dungeon==
In order to enter the castle, [[Link]] and [[Midna]] need the power of the three [[Fused Shadows]]. Midna then uses them to obliterate the crystal surrounding the castle, granting them access to the castle's courtyard.
 
==Themes and Navigation==
[[File:Hyrule Castle Main Room.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Hyrule Castle's main hall]]
In one of the courtyard's areas, the {{exp|GCN version; east in the Wii version|west}} area, the young hero is forced to have his last fight with [[King Bulblin]] who, after his defeat, gives Link the key that opens the main door to the interior of the castle. In the {{exp|GCN version; west in the Wii version|east}} route, a longer track houses various enemies and puzzles, leading to another key.
 
The main hall of the castle consists of a large room with various chandeliers that Link must [[Clawshot]] to in order to access the rest of the castle's chambers. Once he enters one of the rooms of the main hall, the young hero will encounter a [[Darknut]] and, after his defeat, Link will have the option of either taking the left or right path of the castle. Both paths lead back out to the balcony of Hyrule Castle, where in the {{exp|GCN version; west in the Wii version|east}} side Link battles against an [[Aeralfos]] to retrieve a [[Key|Small Key]]. Just as the young hero walks over to the {{exp|GCN version; east in the Wii version|west}} side of the castle, a group of enemies springs an ambush against Link; however, [[The Group]], which consists of [[Shad]], [[Ashei]], [[Auru]], and [[Rusl]], come in to save Link from a seemingly fatal attack. The Boss Key is then available for its collection.
 
In the middle of the balcony is another door that leads to the final area of the dungeon, making way to the third and fourth floors. As Link progresses through these last two floors, he must use his abilities as Wolf Link to make it safely across various traps; moreover, since the stairs leading to the upper floors have been destroyed, Link will have to use both the [[Clawshot|Double Clawshots]] and the [[Spinner]] to successfully reach the fourth floor. The door on the fourth floor, which leads to the outside of Hyrule Castle and eventually to the throne room, is blocked off by a Darknut, whom Link easily defeats.
 
At the throne room, Link and Midna come face-to-face with Ganondorf, who uses Princess Zelda [[Possessed Zelda#Twilight Princess|as his puppet]] in an attempt to defeat the young hero. Link, equipped with the Master Sword, promptly defeats [[Puppet Zelda]], and Midna uses her powers to extract Ganondorf's evil influence from the princess. It is here that Ganondorf transforms into the Dark Beast [[Ganon]]. After defeating Ganondorf's beast form, Midna will attempt to finish him off, warping Link and Zelda to [[Hyrule Field]]. The two witness a giant explosion which seemingly destroys the castle, but Hyrule Castle later appears intact during the credits sequence.
