Ever since ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past}}'', there has been a {{s|zeldawiki|Hyrule Castle}} where {{s|zeldawiki|Princess Zelda}} and other members of the {{s|zeldawiki|Royal Family of Hyrule}} live. The Hyrule Castle seen in this stage is based around ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time}}''. This stage is a mostly accurate rendition of the castle seen in ''Ocarina of Time'', with the addition of platforms that go up the middle tower. The spire on the right has also been turned into a gazebo-like structure. | |||
Another recurring ''Zelda'' locale is {{s|zeldawiki|Death Mountain}}, a volcanic mountain usually found in the northern region of Hyrule. The ''Ocarina of Time'' version of Death Mountain appears in the background of this stage, which is consistent with its location in the original game. | |||
In ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda}}'', a {{s|zeldawiki|recorder}} can be played to summon a tornado, which teleports Link to dungeons dependent on the direction he faces. This is the only [[The Legend of Zelda (universe)|''Zelda'' game]] before ''Ocarina of Time'' to feature a tornado. In this stage, there is a tornado that throws players upward. The tornado itself could be a reference to ''The Legend of Zelda'', but its gameplay function is unrelated. | |||

According to the American ''Smash 64'' ruleset, Hyrule Castle has been considered to be a banned stage as of 2014. Although it was considered to be the second most neutral stage, behind {{SSB|Dream Land}}, for a long time, the disadvantages of the hazards and features of the stage have become more apparent in the more recent [[metagame]]. The tornado hazards on the stage are known for appearing completely randomly, without any indication of the position where the tornado appeared if the tornado is outside of the screen's reach. The tornadoes also speed up at random times, which can catch even more wary players offguard, and fully cover options that would have otherwise been completely safe. The stage's large size also allows significant [[camping]] in certain positions, as in certain matchups it is possible for one player to camp on the far left of the stage and make it extremely difficult for the opponent to approach safely: a primary example is {{SSB|Kirby}} against {{SSB|Captain Falcon}}, as Kirby can stay on the far left of the stage and space up tilts and back airs to cover all of Captain Falcon's safe approach options, with [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D52KGq4jlMQ&t=12m57s a match] between {{sm|Mew2King}} and {{sm|Stranded}} involving this technique being infamous. It is also possible for several characters to camp the top platform, such as {{SSB|Pikachu}} and {{SSB|Kirby}}: this was made famous by {{sm|SuperBoomFan}} who had a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiQp5w-9IAE 52 minute game] with {{Sm|Gerson}}. | |||

{{Sm|Bane}} is often credited for being a significant contributor to the banning of Hyrule Castle, detailing the disadvantages of the stage in a [[SmashBoards]] thread named [http://smashboards.com/threads/a-case-against-hyrule.340054/ A Case Against Hyrule], and also comparing the stage's legality to other stages. However, Hyrule Castle remains a popular stage among many players due to the unique combos possible in the tent portion and the strategies that are usable due to the stage's structure. Due to the [[Gentleman's Rule]], Hyrule Castle can still be seen in tournaments if both players agree to playing on it. | {{Sm|Bane}} is often credited for being a significant contributor to the banning of Hyrule Castle, detailing the disadvantages of the stage in a [[SmashBoards]] thread named [http://smashboards.com/threads/a-case-against-hyrule.340054/ A Case Against Hyrule], and also comparing the stage's legality to other stages.

Hyrule Castle has always been banned in the Japanese ruleset, as {{SSB|Dream Land}} is considered the only neutral and legal stage in said ruleset. The Peruvian ruleset contrasted with this for a long time, as Hyrule Castle was considered to be the main stage up until Boom went to Tacna. Hyrule has now been phased out entirely for Dream Land, due to the same reasoning | Hyrule Castle has always been banned in the Japanese ruleset, as {{SSB|Dream Land}} is considered the only neutral and legal stage in said ruleset.
