| '''Hyrule Circuit''' is a racecourse included with [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] downloadable content in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and in the base content of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', and is the fourth and final course of the [[Triforce Cup]]. Hence the name, this course is based on [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. This track sports several references to the franchise, such as having [[Rupee]]s replace [[coin]]s, [[Deku Baba]]s replace [[Piranha Plant]]s, and [[Keese]] replace [[Swoop]]s. Several sound effects from the first ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]]'' game are also used, while the song references several songs from throughout the series. | | '''Hyrule Circuit''' is a racecourse included with [[The Legend of Zelda X Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] downloadable content in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', and the fourth and final course of the [[Triforce Cup]].

| ==''The Legend of Zelda'' references==
| |
| [[File:MK8Rupee.png|thumb|Rupees behave like coins on the track.]]
| |
| As this course is based upon ''The Legend of Zelda'' franchise, it also features various references to those games. They are listed below:
| |
| *[[Coin]]s are replaced with [[Rupee]]s.
| |
| *[[zeldawiki:Soldier#Spirit Tracks|Soldier]]s as portrayed in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks]]'' can be seen near the starting line.
| |
| *Two standard course enemies, [[Swoop]]s and [[Piranha Plant]]s, are replaced by their ''The Legend of Zelda'' equivalents: Keese and Deku Babas respectively. The Deku Babas change their location several times over the duration of the race.
| |
| *When a player runs into an [[Item Box]] and obtains an item, the sound it plays is the jingle when opening a [[zeldawiki:Treasure Chest#Big Chests|big treasure chest]] in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''.
| |
| *[[zeldawiki:Death Mountain|Death Mountain]], with its familiar circular smokestack, can be seen towering over the treeline in the south of the course. It can easily be seen just after exiting the Master Sword chamber.
| |
| *Each [[zeldawiki:Medallions|Medallion]] found in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' can be seen on the stained-glass windows in the Master Sword chamber.
| |
| *A sign in the village part of the course has the face of [[zeldawiki:Beedle|Beedle]] on it, a recurring shopkeeper in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series. The sign also has text written in [[zeldawiki:Hylian Language|Hylian]], as seen in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]''; when translated, it reads "Item Shop".
| |
| *Hitting the three anti-gravity switches on the castle staircase will trigger the "puzzle solving" tune in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series as the Master Sword rises from its pedestal. The switches can also be triggered by a boomerang as they can in many games.
| |
| *The background music is a remixed medley of ''The Legend of Zelda'' music, starting with the series' main theme, followed by small excerpts of [[zeldawiki:Zelda's Lullaby|Zelda's Lullaby]] and Hyrule Field's theme from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''. It also incorporates a brief segment from Hyrule Field's theme from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]''.

| ==''[[Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack]]'' liner notes==
| |
| ''"I wanted to arrange this in a way that would only be in Mario Kart. I've scattered a number of motifs from The Legend of Zelda series throughout the track, so I hope you'll enjoy listening out for them. Oh, and don't miss the scorching guitar solo at the end!"''
