Hyrule Castle is a stage from Super Smash Bros.It is a Zelda themed stage based on the Hyrule Castle from the Nintendo 64 video game, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It is available on Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U as DLC content. It was released on July 31, 2015 alongside Peach's Castle.

Stage Elements

Hyrule Castle is a larger stage with 3 main sections. The center portion is the largest and is simple aside from the platforms on the tower. The section on the left is simple as well, only being short and slanted on an angle. There is also a ledge between sections so players have to jump to change sections. The right section is the lowest portion of the stage, directly following a ledge from the center section that creates a wall as tall as most characters. This section also has a gazebo-like structure. This area greatly has a tendency to rack up a lot of damage because, not only do players get trapped in the structure by attacks, but the walls of the ledge and the structure help ricochet players into combos.

Hyrule Castle Tornado

The tricky hazard is this stage are the tornadoes. They can spawn in one of four locations; the left section, the left-half of the center section, the 2nd platform on the tower and area between the wall and outer exit of the gazebo. When touching a player, they trap them in their winds and shoot them upwards. This could potentially kill an unexpected low percentages especially, the one on the tower.

Music

In the original game, the track for this stage was named Track #7. This was updated in the newer versions to be called Hyrule Castle Stage. Italicized tracks indicate the music is returning from a previous game.

Trivia

  • Strangely, in the original, Maxim Tomatoes could not summoned on this stage. Even when all other items were turned off, the crates and capsules would only produce duds. A similar case was for the Star Rod, but this could fixed by turning on another item.
  • The music for this is either the main Legend of Zelda theme or a remix of the main theme except for The Legend of Zelda medley, which does contain the main theme for a section though.
