Dark Hyrule Castle is the final dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. It is Hyrule Castle after Vaati takes over, and (as the name suggests) it is a darker version of Hyrule Castle full of enemies and puzzles. Items and abilities from the other dungeons in the game are needed to complete it, and the Four Sword is necessary to solve most of the puzzles in the dungeon. Instead of finding a special item that allows Link to get the Boss Key, a set of four keys are needed instead to unlock the large block that is blocking the Boss Key. As this is the last dungeon, the final boss is Vaati himself.

Once Link enters through the door the Boss Key unlocks, he hears Vaati laugh and tell him that with three more chimes of the bell all the Light Force will be drained from Princess Zelda. Link will then have to pass through three trials to reach Vaati. The actual time Link uses to get through the three trials is indefinite- one bell tolls after Link has passed the first trial, the second bell tolls after Link passes the second trial, and Link arrives at where Vaati is-on the roof- soon enough to battle him and save Princess Zelda. The First Trial is Ball & Chain Trooper in a narrow passageway. Link can merely jump over him and head up the steps without taking any damage. The Second Trial is Link must split himself into four with the Four Sword in order to press the switches to open the door. The path ahead, though, is infested with Keatons. The Third Trial is three Dark Nuts- two Red Dark Nuts and one Black Knight. Once Link defeats these he can finally face Vaati and save Princess Zelda.
