This article is about the town found in The Minish Cap. For the town found in other games, see Castle Town.

Hyrule Town is the main hub in The Minish Cap. It is much like Castle Town from other The Legend of Zelda installments. It is a large, bustling town that surrounds Hyrule Castle, and it is filled with shops, houses and useful characters. Four areas lead to Castle Town: North Hyrule Field to the north, South Hyrule Field to the south, Trilby Highlands to the west and Lon Lon Ranch to the east. Once a year, the Picori Festival is held here, which Link and Zelda attend at the beginning of the game.

There is a Piece of Heart behind the motel that is accessible only in Link's Minish form. Link must shrink to Minish size in the house at the southeast of Hyrule Town, climb the small vine to the northeast and walk around behind the motel.

There are several characters who will always fuse Kinstones with you in Hyrule Town. They are as follows:

The Hurdy-Gurdy Man will fuse with you as he gives you the Kinstone Bag. This fusion opens a tree containing a Piece of Heart.
Mayor Hagen will fuse with you, draining a pool at Lon Lon Ranch that lead to the Big Wallet.
The man with a turban who lives in the house with the yellow roof on the west side of town will fuse Kinstones with Link, creating a portal to the west of Link's house. This portal leads to the Cloud Tops.
