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 made a few ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]''-related appearances, mainly in the crossover [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].

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

In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Hyrule Castle appears as a lengthy [[stage]] based off of 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 also reappears 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}}.
