These Columns were used to store the legion of Guardians prior to the second Great Calamity. Positioned in formation along the ground just outside of the Hyrule Castle Moat are five Giant Columns, atop of which Link can find broken Guardians that can be searched for Ancient Materials. Decayed Guardians and Guardian Turrets can be found stationed along the ground and walls of the Hyrule Castle, and Guardian Skywatchers patrol the air around it.

Similarly, recesses in the structures of the Castle itself allow Link passage to various parts of its key areas, such as with the broken roof atop the Library.ĭespite the accessibility of Hyrule Castle, the landscape is littered with various kinds of Guardians under Calamity Ganon's control. A break in the walls of the Lockup allow Link direct access to the Castle's prison and the Hyrule Castle Underground. There are several entrances to the interior of Hyrule Castle, such as the Docks in the northern side of the castle grounds, as well as tunnels built into the earth supporting it.

As Link nears Hyrule Castle, Calamity Ganon will manifest himself and swirl through the air above the Castle, before he is contained in a radiant burst of light from Princess Zelda in the Sanctum. It is possible for Link to approach Hyrule Castle by air with the Paraglider or by Swimming through the Moat. This Gate hides a winding path that surrounds Hyrule Castle and ultimately ends at the Sanctum, where Calamity Ganon lies. The only way that Link can approach it by land is by crossing through the Hyrule Castle Gate from the Hyrule Castle Town Ruins to its south. Hyrule Castle is surrounded on all sides by the Hyrule Castle Moat.
