The Pyramid of Power is a location from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Located directly in the middle of the Dark World, it is the equivalent of Hyrule Castle in the Light World.
Ganon hid from Link in the Pyramid of Power after the hero stormed Ganon's Tower and defeated Agahnim. For Link, entering any part the Pyramid of Power isn't a simple task. There are breakable walls on the outside of the Pyramid of Power, but they are impervious to all normal items and can only be broken with Super Bombs. Despite the Pyramid's external size, not much of it's interior is seen. The areas seen are the Mysterious Pond, the room that Link finds Ganon in, a hallway with a telepathic tile in it, and the chamber where the Triforce is kept. Here, in a fierce battle against the King of Evil, Link becomes the victor by piercing Ganon's soul with the power of Silver Arrows. It is said that the Pyramid of Power may also be the Temple of Light, the home of the Triforce at the heart of the Sacred Realm.
In the Game Boy Advance port, the entrance to the Palace of the Four Sword can be found here as well.

It has been noticed that when you warp from the the top of the Pyramid of Power into the Light World you land on Hyrule Castle upon the carving of an eye. The pyramid and eye are well known symbols of the Illuminati, a conspiracy theory in the real world. The eye may also refer to the Sheikah.
