Hyrule Castle - Part II

As you enter, a large group of enemies will launch a surprise attack. Use your spin attack to take them down and reveal a chest on a balcony containing the Compass. Climb the staircase on the west side, and grapple onto the low hanging chandelier to reach the chest. From there, grapple to the eastern chandelier, then descend and grapple onto the one above the northern door.



To proceed, you’ll have to take down the Dark Knight. Wait for him to attack and then lunge at him while he recuperates. Once he’s defeated, you’ll have to get to the upper ledge which requires a delicate balancing of lighting and extinguishing the torches around the room which causes the platforms to raise and lower. Begin by lighting the two torches on the west side and climb the steps that rise. Then extinguish the east flame with the Gale boomerang and jump onto the final platform as it rises to the chest.

Note: A quicker way is to simply stand on the final floor platform and extinguish the eastern flame with the boomerang, thus causing the floor beneath your feet to rise.

Now you can proceed either to the east or to the west. We recommend the east route as it’s simpler and provides additional health items. In the west room, use an arrow to knock off the middle picture on the west side and hit the revealed diamond to open the door. You can shoot down the remaining pictures and trigger the diamonds beyond to drop chus which can be bottled for health and oil.




Inside the next room are two Dark Knights. Since they’re triggered by proximity, walk slowly along one of the walls to trigger just one. Lure it to the other side of the room so you don’t accidentally trigger the other Dark Knight, then focus on it exclusively. Once he’s done for, take on the other one. Once they’re dead, exit via the southeast door.




Run along the bridge and open the chest at the end to obtain the Big Key. Now rum up the ramp next top the door you came through and skip the door at the top and continue to the other bridge. Defeat the dragon that appears and open the chest at the end for a Small Key. Now run back to the northern door you skipped earlier and open it with the key.


Transform into a wolf to keep the ghost mice at bay, and then follow the path the ghost soldiers point out to the staircase in the northwest corner.

Climb the staircase, battle the lizards, and then use the Clawshot to grapple from one torch to the next up the broken staircase. Use the spinner to climb the third staircase and jump from one side to the other to dodge the enemy spinners. At the top is one more Dark Knight. After defeating him, enter the locked door with the Big Key for the final battle with Ganon.

Note: Before entering the door leading to the boss, use the small key on the west side to find a storage room containing rupees and items galore.
