Gundrumether (Total War)

Hyrule Prime, also called Hyrule Castle, is the capital of the Kingdom of Hyrule.

History
The crown and heart of the Kingdom of Hyrule, Hyrule Prime (or more commonly called Hyrule Castle Town by the commonfolk) is the center of the Royal Family and economy throughout the entire land. Built sometime around the age of Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule, Hyrule Prime quickly replaced Snowpeak as the Royal Family's home and training grounds for the Hylian armies. The city is very defensible and has survived several massive sieges throughout its history until it finally fell to an army of Gerudo led by then King Ganondorf.

Gameplay
While ladders can be used to scale the walls of Hyrule Prime from all sides, the only way into the castle's plaza is a straight and narrow path from the south. Armies will have to bottleneck into this area if they hope to take control of the crown. This makes Hyrule Prime a relatively straightforward place to invade and as such attacking the castle becomes more of an endurance match once armies are funnelled into the central pathway.

Appearances
Hyrule Prime is the capital of the Kingdom of Hyrule, and the location of the Temple of Time and the Hylian Seat of Power.

Hyrule Prime is also the site of the final battle against Majora. After a Master Entity destroys the Triforce and summons Majora to Hyrule, he immediately infests the city with his spawn and tentacles. However, Majora is later defeated by an alliance of Hylians, Gorons, Kokiri and Zora, led by Link, Impa, Rauru and Zelda V, and Majora is killed by a barrage of artillery fire.

Creator's Notes
''Hyrule Prime was heavily based on the Twilight Princess version of Hyrule Castle which is to this day my favorite incarnation of the building, while parts of the city were influenced by the layout in Ocarina of Time. Naturally the version of this city in Hyrule Total War is much larger to accommodate hundreds of soldiers and the large scale battles that take place here.''
