The Forgotten Foundation is an area Beneath Hyrule Castle in Tears of the Kingdom.

Tears of the Kingdom

The Forgotten Foundation is first seen, though not named, in the prologue to Tears of the Kingdom. Link and Zelda travel through it in search of the source of gloom afflicting Hyrule. In the process, they happen upon a series of Zonai sculptures and murals, which lead Zelda to become very excited and start snapping pictures with her Purah Pad. Three of the mural panels are covered in sediment, a point which is not remarked upon at the time. Link and Zelda then pass through to the Imprisoning Chamber, leading to the revival of Ganondorf and the Upheaval.

When Link returns to the Forgotten Foundation much later, on the quest to Destroy Ganondorf, he can break the sediment, revealing three additional panels which all show Zelda.

All the panels, as shown in the credits sequence, represent:

• 

  Rauru and the Secret Stones

• 

  The wedding of Rauru and Sonia

• 

  Ganondorf kills Sonia and takes her secret stone (Sonia Is Caught by Treachery)

• 

  First half of The Demon King's Army

• 

  Second half of the Demon King's Army, including Demon King Ganondorf himself

• 

  Rauru and the Sages, including Mineru and Zelda, face the Demon King (The Imprisoning War)

• 

  The Decayed Master Sword appears before Zelda (A Master Sword in Time)

• 

  The Light Dragon, a newly-transformed Zelda, flies into the sky, scattering Dragon's Tears as it goes (Tears of the Dragon)
