{{quote|Hyrule Castle once welcomed all Hyrulians. It was the home to several generations of royalty who were worshipped by their people. Inside the castle, royal red carpets were rolled out over the castle's stone floors, and rich tapestries from far off lands adorned its walls. Many fierce battles were waged just outside the castle walls against outside attackers, but the Hyrulians prevailed-until Agahnim appeared with his sinister strategy.|Nintendo Player's Guide}}

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', Hyrule Castle had two mini-dungeons within it. The first one being the first dungeon-type area in the game, the dungeons and sewers of the castle. Within this area [[Link]] rescues [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]. The second mini-dungeon is the tower of Hyrule Castle, only accessible after acquiring the [[Master Sword]]. Which Link climbs to confront [[Agahnim]].

''"[[Sahasrahla]] dared [[Link]] to retrieve three [[Pendants of Virtue]]. Each was guarded by a fierce creature, so the challenge was not to be taken lightly. Sahasrahla rewarded him when he returned with the first Pendants by telling him about the [[Master Sword]], which only a proven adventurers could wield.

''A Shrouded Maze. According to the legend, [[Princess Zelda]] was taken by Agahnim to the top of the Hyrule Castle Tower. In the darkened halls there, enemies attacked without warning. Many a would-be rescuer fell victim to their ambushes, but those who used their [[Lantern]] could light the room to face their foes. Agahnim was said to practice his evil magic at the top of the tower.''

After some trash talking from Agahnim, the battle will begin. In order to defeat Agahnim, you must use his own power against him. He will go around the room shooting different things out at you. He shoots three things. One, if he shoots a blue circle that looks like a necklace at you, just dodge it. When he is at the top-center of the screen go to either the left or the right side of the screen. If he faces you then be ready to deflect. If he is facing straight down he will shoot lightning. Just stay out of the way. The third thing he will shoot is a small glowing ball at you. Use the master sword to deflect it back at him. After a couple hits, he will be history.

After a brief scolding, his uncle will give Link the sword that was used in the failed attempt at breaching the castle. This is one of the weakest weapons in the game, in addition to being the easiest weapon to obtain the first time.
