Previously, Link finished his slog through the Cave of Ordeals. Then, having acquired all 60 Poe's Souls, he returned to Castle Town, where Jovani revived. Now, it is time to infiltrate Hyrule Castle and save Princess Zelda and Hyrule from Ganondorf.

Castle Town:

Link resumes in Castle Town Central Square. He heads north to the castle gate. In a scene, Midna uses the Fused Shadow to bring down the barrier. Afterwards, Link pushes open the northern gate to enter the castle.

Hyrule Castle (time 2:45):

As Link enters, a brief scene takes place. Link gains control in the castle's first area, the southern courtyard. He heads northwest. Before he reaches the door, a barrier surrounds him, and he must defeat several Bokoblins and incidental Kargaroks.

Link takes the northwestern door to the second area, the western courtyard. As he progresses, he is forced to fight another gang of Bokoblins. In the western corner of this area, the northern gate is closed. Link can open it by pulling a nearby chain. In the northeast of this area, Link encounters King Bulblin for a final time. This battle is similar to the battle with King Bulblin in the desert. However, he has a new spinning move. A scene takes place after Link defeats King Bulblin. Link earns a Small Key!

At the northern end of the second area, a chest contains a Red Rupee, worth 20 Rupees. Link can climb onto the middle wall with a stairway on the northern side. On the wall's southeastern ledge, a chest contains another Red Rupee, worth 20 Rupees.

Link backtracks to the first area and saves. Then, he approaches the northeastern door. He is forced to clear out another gang of Bokoblins before he can proceed.

Link takes the northeast door to the third area, the eastern courtyard. Here, there are Bulblin Archers on towers. After taking out a charging Bokoblin, Link should shoot down the Bulblin Archers before he proceeds. Behind barricades in the west, he finds a couple of Bullbos. He mounts one and uses it to smash down the wooden barricades in the east. A couple more Bulblin Archers are on towers in the northeast.

Link finds a gate in the northwest of the third area. Just in front of the gate, he can use the Gale Boomerang to clear up a Triforce logo. A green line on the logo shows how he must hit the spinner switches atop the nearby pillars to open the gate: west, then north, then south, and finally east. Once the gate is open, Link can go in and open the chest for the Dungeon Map! But that is not all. Link can climb a ladder near the chest to get up onto the inner wall. At the southern end of this rampart, a chest contains the Sad Zelda Stamp.

Near the pillars with spinner switches in the north, Link can change to a wolf and engage his Senses to find a hidden dig spot. He can dig through to the fourth area, the northern graveyard. Here, he encounters numerous Stalkin and a few Stalfos. A couple of grave markers in the east provide guidance.

If Link switches to wolf and engages his Senses, he will find a circle of soldier spirits gazing at a boulder in the ground in front of the large tree in the north. Link must bomb this boulder to reveal a switch. He steps on it to open the eastern gate. In the eastern alcove, chests contain an Orange Rupee, worth 100 Rupees; a Red Rupee, worth 20 Rupees; and a Green Rupee, worth 1 Rupee.

There are also a brazier and a vat of Lantern Oil in the eastern alcove. When Link lights the brazier, the rain outside stops briefly. Link has just enough time to go to the west and light two other braziers before the rain resumes. This opens the gate to the western alcove, where there are a couple of owl statues. Link must guide them out with the Dominion Rod. In the south, there are a couple of missing tiles on the floor in the gap in the wall. Link must place the owl statues into these spots. Then, after climbing onto the southern wall, he can use the owl statues to hop to the eastern side. To the east, he can pull a chain to open a gate. The chest in the cell beyond contains a Small Key. Midna tells Link that he has gathered everything he needs.

Link backtracks and digs through the hidden hole to the third area, the eastern courtyard. He follows the rampart to the southern part of the area, which is good, because the Bokoblins and Bulblin Archers are back.

Link returns to the first area, the southern courtyard. After saving, he goes through the locked door to the north.
