Hyrule Castle Town is the capital city of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda series. It initially appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64, though would go on to appear in both The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap for the Game Boy Advance and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for both Wii and GameCube.

Hyrule Castle Town is the largest city and main community center in Hyrule. The main race in this town is the Hylians, however, many other races, including Gorons, Zoras and others live in this town as well. In addition, people from other lands often travel here looking to trade or to sell their wares. Even Gerudo often arrive here looking for Hylian boyfriends. Multiple side quests occur here, plenty of shops are present, and the main character (Link) will visit this location many times.

With each new installment, the overall design is different, probably because of the dramatic time differences between each game. Interestingly, Ocarina of Time's Hyrule Castle Town featured no Gorons (despite the fact that they were present in the game), though Twilight Princess, which took about 1,000 years later, did in fact have them.
