You enter the grand hall of the Castle.  Immediately, you have some choices to make.  You can run straight ahead, but that way leads to the throne room, and you probably won't find Zelda there.  If anything, she is locked in the dungeon below.  You can take the left exit or the right exit, and in fact both ways will take you to the stairwell in the back that leads to the dungeon.  Along the way, you'll have to battle past more possessed knights, but if you break the pottery that you find along the way, you may discover some rupees, or a life refilling heart.  Eventually, you will come across the stairs you are looking for.  Head downstairs.

{{sidebar|width=200px|float=left|title=Castle Secrets|contents=The location chosen for the Castle was special.  It lies directly over a hidden colony of fairies.  Access to this colony was secretly built into the CastleIf one were to jump off a high ledge in the grand hall, into what appeared to be an ordinary vase, they might find themselves falling through the bottom, and landing in a room full of life restoring fairies.}}

When you arrive in the dungeon, you are immediately greeted by a guard.  You must duel the guard in order to grab the [[Image:Zelda ALttP item Small Key.png]] '''Small Key''' he is holding in order to open the door below.  Also open the chest in the middle of the room to discover a [[Image:Zelda ALttP item Map.png]] '''Map''' inside.  Now you can view the map at any time.

Head down the stairs to a very small second floor basement, and go immediately down the next staircase to the lowest level of the dungeon.  First, you will find Princess Zelda safe but stuck inside of a cell.  Then you will notice the gruesome guard wielding a morningstar.  You can try to stun him with your new-found Boomerang, but it has little effect.  If you take some damage during the fight, the pottery nearby contain hearts, just in case you run low on life.  Better yet, you can throw the pottery at the guard, killing him even faster than with a sword.  The guard slumps to the ground with a final groan, dropping the [[Image:Zelda ALttP item Big Key.png]] '''Big Key''' that keeps Zelda imprisoned.

Use the key to free Princess Zelda, who will update you with all of the information she has. She informs you that the destination she would like to reach is the throne room. You must guard and escort her there. There also happens to be a chest in the cell with the Princess. If by some odd chance, you had not obtained a [[Image:Zelda ALttP item Lamp.png]] '''Lamp''' from the house ''or'' from the secret passage, this is yet another opportunity for you to collect one.  Otherwise, the chest will contain a blue rupee.

The castle basement is a maze of dark tunnes that eventually lead to a secret exit.  Snakes slither in the darkness, and huge rats scurry about, making the halls a treacherous trip. Only people who are very desperate dare to use this route.
