Features and Overview

The Minish Cap

The Throne Room is located within Hyrule Castle in The Minish Cap. King Daltus resides within it until he is turned to stone by Vaati, who takes his place. Minister Potho and Princess Zelda are also found here, the latter also having been turned to stone.

When Vaati transforms Hyrule Castle into Dark Hyrule Castle, the Throne Room becomes an arena for Link to fight a Red Darknut. After it is defeated, the Throne can be pushed aside to reveal a staircase leading to a subterranean level of the Castle.

A Link Between Worlds

The Throne Room is a single chamber inside Lorule Castle in A Link Between Worlds. The Throne Room serves as the stage of the final battle of the game, where Link faces Yuga Ganon and Princess Hilda for the freedom of Princess Zelda and ownership of Hyrule's Triforce. 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 Princess 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 to take the Triforce of Courage again, but falls to the blade of the Master Sword, exploding in a burst of dark energy and releasing both Hilda and Zelda.

Two Thrones

The throne room sits at the center of the castle and is the site of many official events. Father would take the throne to the left, and Mother, the one on the right. Her throne remains unchanged and untouched since her passing.

The Throne Room makes up the first floor of Hyrule Castle's Sanctum.^[3] Even in its ruined condition, it is heavily decorated with banners, Statues, and carpets. The floor of the Sanctum is decorated with a circular pattern with the symbol of the Triforce engraved in the center. The Marks of the Goddesses are positioned in the center of each respective Triforce piece, while the Royal Crest sits in the negative space created by the triangles. The metal decoration above the Throne bears the symbol of the Triforce, in addition to a circular music scale depicting "Zelda's Lullaby".

Following the Great Calamity, Princess Zelda used her newly-awakened sealing power to contain Calamity Ganon within the interior of the Sanctum, where he bides his time and gathers strength to escape her grasp.^[6] Inside the Throne Room, Link will find Ganon's Cocoon suspended from the ceiling. If Link enters without having defeated any of the four Blight Ganons, he will be forced to face them. They consistently appear in the order of Windblight Ganon, Waterblight Ganon, Fireblight Ganon, and then Thunderblight Ganon. If Link defeated any of them prior to entering the Throne Room, they will not appear.

Once all four have been defeated, whether in the Throne Room or their respective Divine Beasts, Link will hear the voice of Zelda.^[7] She apologizes for not being able to hold Calamity Ganon back any longer.^[8] A Guardian laser bursts out of Ganon's Cocoon, breaking it open and releasing Calamity Ganon. Due to Ganon's weight, the fall breaks the floor of the Throne Room, causing both of them to fall into the Astral Observatory.
