The Graduation Ceremony is an event from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. It is a ceremony meant to promote an engineer to Royal Engineer.

The game opens up with Link traveling to Hyrule Castle to attend the Graduation Ceremony, where the honor of Royal Engineer will be bestowed onto him by Princess Zelda herself. Once there, he finds that many Hyrulean Soldiers and others have been eagerly awaiting his arrival, while others have completely forgotten about the ceremony.

As Princess Zelda rewards Link for his service, she slips him a note, warning of the suspicious Chancellor Cole, and to take a hidden path and meet her in secret. This in turn spirals into the overall story arc of Spirit Tracks.
