Castle Town Sewers

The Castle Town Sewers are a location in Twilight Princess, first ventured through when Link is dragged into the Twilight and locked away there. It is further explored later on in the game after Zant nearly kills Midna through exposing her to too much light at the Lanayru Spring, after this incident Wolf Link carries the weak Twili through the area in order to reach Zelda, who Midna desperately seeks to visit.

First Visit

Upon awakening here Wolf Link first tries to move around break the shackle on his left paw, but to no avail. However, when it seems no hope is left for the Hero, Midna appears before him. She smils mischievously and soon Link finds himself staring at her face to face as she enters upon him within his cell. In response he growls at her but she is far from intimidated and states that she wants to help him. Calming down , Wolf Link stops growling and lets her help him, at first she taunts him about not being a human anymore but she laughs when he barks at her and soon uses her Twilight Magic to break the chain that bound him to the ground there. Midna then stats that she’d tell him where he was if he managed to get out of the cell, and after breaking a crate nearby, Wolf Link manages to locate some soft dirt and dig out of his prison. Midna laughs a little after he gets out, and as Wolf Link looks around he soon finds the imp girl riding on his back much to his chagrin. He barks at her and tries to shake her off but Midna stays put and states that she’d help him so long as he does exactly what she says. Having no better choice, Wolf Link obliges and the two of them slowly navigate through the sewers. Mor eor less this is in a way the tutorial of how to use the basic abilities Link only has in his Wolf form, as Midna informs him about such things throughout the area. Eventually after climbing up a large spiraling staircase the two make it outside and Wolf Link sees that they were previously in the sewers connecting Castle Town and Hyrule Castle, as the spirit of a soldier outside recalls his previous experiences during an event that took place within the Castle, Midna laughs at this though and states that is not the person she wants Link to meet.

Second Visit

Through the help of Telma's Cat, Wolf Link is able to sneak into the sewers again later in the game when Midna is in a very weak state, however upon sneaking through the upper area of Telma's Bar the duo have their first encounter with the Imp Poes present in the game. Using his senses to take it out quickly, Wolf Link rips the ghost’s soul out and speaks with the golden petrified man named Jovani who lives there. Jovani explains how he got consumed by greed long ago and was turned to gold by the Poes he sold his soul to because of it, he then goes on about how his life was miserable now and requests that Link helps him return to normal by collecting the souls of these creatures. He then opens up the entrance to the sewers present in his house and tell Wolf Link that if he ever wants to visit him he can just big in a certain spot outside his house, currently due to it being raining this was impossible though. Link jumps down into this opening and find himself back into the sewers now, unlike the first visit it’s no shrouded in Twilight though, and after opening another gate the two of them continue to flow down the waterway they fell into. In the next part of the sewers Wolf Link burns some webs and lights a few torches, all the while taking out a few Skulltulas, Keese, and Bulblins. After this he finds a spot to dig into and eventually Wolf Link has to once again climb up the large spiraling stair case, but with Bulblins positioned all over it now, this time certainly proves more troublesome. After taking out these Bulblins and cautiously crossing some ropes, Wolf Link manages to get to the top and soon finds himself on the bridge leading to Zelda’s tower.
