Editing Hyrule Castle

'''Hyrule Castle''' is the seat of the [[zeldawiki:Royal Family of Hyrule|Royal Family of Hyrule]] in the [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. It has made a few ''[[Mario (franchise)|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 ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|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 ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|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]]''.

[[File:MK8-DLC-Course-HyruleCircuit.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Hyrule Castle as it appears in Hyrule Circuit in ''Mario Kart 8''.]]
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. As the castle is surrounded by [[zeldawiki:Zora's River|Zora's River]], racers access it by gliding from [[zeldawiki:Hyrule Field|Hyrule Field]] to the castle's roof. When racers enter the castle, they drive down a curved staircase into a large chamber that houses several [[Rupee]]s and the [[Master Sword]] resting on the [[zeldawiki:Pedestal of Time|Pedestal of Time]], surrounded by several stained glass windows. If racers are able to hit all three [[Spin Boost]] bumpers on the way down the staircase, a small [[Dash Panel]] ramp appears in front of the Pedestal of Time; if this ramp is used, racers can get an additional speed boost by touching the Master Sword. When exiting the castle, racers drive over a bridge and onto a path leading into [[zeldawiki:Hyrule Castle Town|Hyrule Castle Town]].
