← All areas in this guide
After escaping the castle sewers with Midna, Wolf Link traverses the rainy rooftops of Hyrule Castle under the cover of the Twilight. You must avoid patrol guards, cross crumbling structures, and scale a high tower to find Princess Zelda. Upon reaching her chambers, a cutscene plays where Zelda explains the tragic fall of Hyrule to Zant and directs you toward the Faron Province.

Tips

- Use Midna's targeted jumps across broken masonry and precarious bridges to safely clear large gaps along the castle exterior.
