==Appearances==

Hyrule Castle has appeared in seven different Zelda games. It as also appeared in some non-canon games.

===Ocarina of Time===

The Hyrule Castle in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' only allows the player to enter the courtyard to speak to young Princess Zelda. Link must sneak past the guards to get to her too; talk about inconvenience! There are no dungeons or mini-dungeons within this version of Hyrule Castle.

===The Wind Waker===

Hyrule Castle in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' is underwater. It is where our young hero finds the Master Sword. The castle starts out with a black and white coloring until Link retrieves the fabled Sword of Evil's Bane (the Master Sword), which then turns the castle back to color.

===Four Swords Adventures===

Hyrule Castle is a dungeon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'' that you go to twice. The first time you go, you have to rescue the first [[Seven Maidens|Maiden]] from the evil Castle Guards. While there, Link reunites the two halves of the [[Fairy Queen]], making her whole again. Link must fight [[Phantom Ganon]] in order to get to the maiden.<br>The second time through the castle is quite a bit different. This time, Link must use stealth to avoid being seen by the guards, who will throw Link into a jail cell. Once finally making it past the guards, Link can rescue the Maiden.<br><br>The Hyrule Castle in ''Four Swords Adventures'' highly resembles the one from ''A Link to the Past''.

===The Minish Cap===

Link firsts visits here under the order of his grandfather the smith to deliver the [[Smith Sword]], which is to be awarded to the winner of a sword tournment at the [[Picori Festival]]. [[Vaati]] wins the tournament, but holds no interest in the sword whatsoever. Instead he attempts to steal the [[Picori Blade]] and instead he manages to break the blade and turn [[Princess Zelda]] to stone. [[Link]] then must use the [[Elemental Sanctuary]] to restore the power of the blade, and after awhile the king changes his mood dramaticly, which is due to the fact [[Vaati]] is disguised as the king, finally [[Vaati]] decides to transform the castle into the [[Dark Hyrule Castle]].
