West Passage

The West Passage is a recurring location in The Legend of Zelda series.^[1]^[2]

Features and Overview

Breath of the Wild

The West Passage is a defunct tunnel system that is part of the Hyrule Castle Underground. The entrance of the West Passage is marked by several Luminous Stone Deposits, and it can be found near the Water of the Hyrule Castle Moat, west of the Hyrule Castle Gate. The entrance contains several Wooden Boxes and Barrels, an unlit Cooking Pot, and a lit Torch. A Cracked Wall separates the entrance and the Passage, which contains Mine Cart Tracks that Link can traverse on a Mine Cart.

At the other end of the Tracks, Link will find another cavernous chamber. There is a Hot Spring here, and a sloped ledge above this Spring leads further into a tunnel that ends in a Cracked Wall made out of stone tiles. If destroyed, it will open up a passage to Lockup and the Water Pump Room. The second chamber of the West Passage was a Guardian excavation site, as evidenced by the five half-buried Fallen Guardians found throughout. A Bird nest with two Eggs inside sits in front of the north Fallen Guardian.

Inside the West Passage, Link can find a number of Wooden Boxes, which can be destroyed for supplies. While the majority of the Boxes yield Arrows or Apples, one next to the start of the Mine Cart Tracks with a Barrel on top of it can be destroyed for three or four Hyrule Herbs, both varieties of Carrot, either type of Radish, Swift Violets, Mighty Thistles, Armoranths, or Blue Nightshades.

Tears of the Kingdom

As in Breath of the Wild, the West Passage composes part of the Hyrule Castle Underground in Hyrule Field. Due to the Upheaval, it has suffered several cave-ins. Its entrance is now partially blocked by a Cracked Wall, and the tracks are blocked by Hard Sediment.
