Walkthrough
With all six Sages awake, a bridge to Ganon’s Castle materializes over the moat in Castle Town. Before crossing, this is the best point to wrap up any pending sidequests — the trading sequence, the hidden Great Fairies, and any Skulltula or Piece of Heart you’ve left behind are all still available, but there’s no quick way back out of the castle itself once you’re deep inside.
Inside are six Trials, one for each Sage, each a self-contained mini-dungeon built around its own mechanic: reflected light, invisibility via the Lens of Truth, alternating fire and ice, platforms that shift with the Song of Time, a gauntlet of staggered fights, and a mirror maze. Clearing all six opens Ganon’s Tower.
⚠️ Stock up on a spare fairy or red potions before each Trial — there are no shops inside the castle.
Boss — Ganondorf
At the top of the tower, Ganondorf attacks with balls of dark energy. Bat them back with your sword (or the Bow) until he’s stunned, then finish him with the Master Sword. The fight ends with the castle itself collapsing beneath you.
