The Fall of Hyrule Castle

Disaster / Destruction

When the war began, Hyrule Castle and the town at its base were the first to suffer. In the midst of an attempted coup between the branches of the Royal Family, a fire broke out. It gutted not only the castle, but the surrounded area, even to the The Temple of Time, itself. Some still believe that the fire was not an accident, but a deliberate attempt either by the Sheikah or the Gerudo to destabilize the kingdom. Regardless of whether or not this is true, the remains of the town, at least the northern side of the river, is still seemingly possessed by dark spirits.
