Editing Hyrule Castle

'''Hyrule Castle''' is the seat of the {{iw|zeldawiki|Royal Family of Hyrule}} in {{iw|zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series}}. It has appeared sometimes in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise.

==History==
===[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]===

In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Hyrule Castle appears as a lengthy [[stage]] based on its appearance in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time}}''. In single-player mode, Hyrule Castle is the first stage the player battles on. During gameplay, a whirlwind appears about every 30 seconds; any character caught in it is blown upwards, and sometimes out of the stage if sufficiently damaged. The castle also has a little shack at the far right end of the stage, which may act as an additional platform. This stage serves as [[Link]]'s home stage in the game.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', a similar but much larger stage called [[Temple (stage)|Temple]] takes its place. Hyrule Castle, in its ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}'' incarnation, also appears in the background of the [[Bridge of Eldin]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''.

In a Nintendo Direct that premiered on June 14, 2015, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] revealed that developers have been working on porting Hyrule Castle (along with [[Peach's Castle (Super Smash Bros.)|Peach's Castle]]) into ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' as downloadable content. It was later released on July 31, 2015, under the name '''Hyrule Castle (64)'''.

Hyrule Castle will also reappear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', Hyrule Castle appears as part of the [[Hyrule Circuit]] course in the [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] downloadable content pack, which returns in the base game of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. As the castle is surrounded by {{iw|zeldawiki|Zora's River}}, racers access it by gliding from {{iw|zeldawiki|Hyrule Field}} to the castle's roof. When racers enter the castle, they use [[anti-gravity]] to drive down a curved staircase, ending up in a large chamber that houses the [[Master Sword]] resting on the {{iw|zeldawiki|Pedestal of Time}}, surrounded by several stained glass windows. The room contains two paths that can be taken around the pedestal, but if all three [[Spin Boost Pillar]]s on the way down the staircase were hit, a small [[Dash Panel]] [[ramp]] appears in front of the pedestal; using this ramp allows racers to pass over the pedestal and use the Master Sword as an additional Spin Boost Pillar. When exiting the castle, racers drive over a bridge and onto a path leading into {{iw|zeldawiki|Hyrule Castle Town}}.
