Template:Newsubject Template:Racecourse Hyrule Circuit is a racecourse included with The Legend of Zelda × Mario Kart 8 downloadable content in Mario Kart 8, and the fourth and final course of the Triforce Cup. Hence the name, this course is based on the The Legend of Zelda series. This track sports several references to that series, such as having Rupees replace Coins, Deku Babas replace Piranha Plants, Keese replace Swoopers, and swapping out sounds from classic Zelda games.
Course layout
The track starts in Hyrule Field, as it zigzags through a grassy area. Several ramps can be found here, before a gliding pad that sends the player into Hyrule Castle. After a U-turn, the player arrives in a grand hall with the Master Sword resting in a Triforce-shaped pedestal. The routes split at the sword, before merging directly afterward. After a jump out the back of the castle, the player lands in a small village before going through a valley with Deku Babas. After a final jump, the player returns to the start.
Shortcuts
- In the field, a mushroom can be used to cut through the zigzags.
- Before the Master Sword are three crystals that give spin-boosts. If a player touches all three, the puzzle complete sound from Zelda will play as a Boost Pad ramp opens up before the Master Sword, allowing the player to jump into it. It acts as an Anti-Gravity Spinner.
- After exiting the castle a mushroom can be used across the grass to cut off a turn.

Trivia
- When a player runs into an Item Box, the sound it plays is the sound played when opening a big treasure chest in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
- In addition to this, when an item is obtained, a shortened version of the "Item Obtained" theme plays.
- Death Mountain, with its familiar circular smoke stack, 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 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 Beedle on it, a recurring shopkeeper in The Legend of Zelda series. The sign also has text written in Hylian as seen in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds; when translated it reads, "Item Shop".
- This is the only course where the anti-gravity section isn't really in anti-gravity.
- If a player runs into a Deku Baba serveral times, it will be defeated.
