A single Guardian Turret can be found inside the colonnade. If destroyed, the Malice covering the Staircase will disappear, allowing Link access to the colonnade along the road near the First Gatehouse. The other doorway in the initial path to the Guards' Chamber leads to the Round Spiral Staircase, which is blocked by another Glowing Eyeball. Another doorway is blocked by an immovable wall of Malice, prohibiting direct access to the Reception Room and Observation Room. Here, Link will find two accessible doors, the first of which leads down into the Guards' Chamber, while the latter leads to the entrance along the road nearest the Hyrule Castle Gate. Destroying the Glowing Eyeball will open the path forward, allowing Link to continue further into the Hyrule Castle Corridors, where he finds a Cooking Pot. The hallway leading to the Guards' Chamber ends in two doorways, one of which is blocked by Malice controlled by a Glowing Eyeball, which can summon Cursed Lizalfos to attack Link. The right path of leads outside to the grounds of Hyrule Castle near Princess Zelda’s Room, while the left path leads back into the Hyrule Castle Corridors and the Guards' Chamber. This Updraft in the Water Pump Room brings Link to a hallway.
#Breathe of the wild case series#
The upper floor of the Staircase leads back into the Hyrule Castle Corridors, which consists of a series of hallways that converge near the Dining Hall.įrom the pathway between Lockup and the West Passage, Link can enter the Water Pump Room, which leads him out of the Hyrule Castle Underground. This chamber leads into Hyrule Castle Corridors, eventually connecting to the Square Spiral Staircase. In a chamber connected to the southern end of the Library, Link can find a Great Frostblade embedded in a mound of rubble. The Bridge between Princess Zelda’s Room and Princess Zelda’s Study is the location of the 12th Recovered Memory, " Father and Daughter." A primary, winding road from the Hyrule Castle Gate leads to the Sanctum, where Calamity Ganon waits. While in the vicinity of Hyrule Castle, the Sheikah Slate's Map displays a three-dimensional model of Hyrule Castle and its entrances, as well as the positions of Link and Calamity Ganon. The main entrance to Hyrule Castle itself is overflowing with Malice, forcing Link to ascend the grounds by other means. Pools of Malice can be found scattered throughout most of the Castle grounds, as well as within the Castle itself. Themes and Navigationĭue to the presence of Calamity Ganon's Malice, the Master Sword is perpetually empowered while Link is at Hyrule Castle. Upon Calamity Ganon's return, the Giant Columns arose around the Castle, and he seized control of the Guardians inside. These Columns were used to store the legion of Guardians prior to the second Great Calamity.

Positioned in formation along the ground just outside of the Hyrule Castle Moat are five Giant Columns, atop of which Link can find broken Guardians that can be searched for Ancient Materials. Decayed Guardians and Guardian Turrets can be found stationed along the ground and walls of the Hyrule Castle, and Guardian Skywatchers patrol the air around it. Similarly, recesses in the structures of the Castle itself allow Link passage to various parts of its key areas, such as with the broken roof atop the Library.ĭespite the accessibility of Hyrule Castle, the landscape is littered with various kinds of Guardians under Calamity Ganon's control. A break in the walls of the Lockup allow Link direct access to the Castle's prison and the Hyrule Castle Underground. There are several entrances to the interior of Hyrule Castle, such as the Docks in the northern side of the castle grounds, as well as tunnels built into the earth supporting it. As Link nears Hyrule Castle, Calamity Ganon will manifest himself and swirl through the air above the Castle, before he is contained in a radiant burst of light from Princess Zelda in the Sanctum. It is possible for Link to approach Hyrule Castle by air with the Paraglider or by Swimming through the Moat. This Gate hides a winding path that surrounds Hyrule Castle and ultimately ends at the Sanctum, where Calamity Ganon lies. The only way that Link can approach it by land is by crossing through the Hyrule Castle Gate from the Hyrule Castle Town Ruins to its south. Hyrule Castle is surrounded on all sides by the Hyrule Castle Moat.
