Hyrule Circuit

Hyrule Circuit is a racecourse included with The Legend of Zelda × Mario Kart 8 downloadable content in Mario Kart 8, and the fourth and final course of the Triforce Cup. Hence the name, this course is based on the The Legend of Zelda series. This track sports several references to that game, such as having Rupees replace Coins, Deku Babas replace Piranha Plants, Keese replace Swoopers, and swapping out sounds from classic Zelda games.

Course layout
The track starts in Hyrule Field, as it zigzags through a grassy area. Several ramps can be found here, before a gliding pad that sends the player into Hyrule Castle. After a U-turn, the player arrives in a grand hall with the Master Sword resting in a Triforce-shaped pedestal. The routes split at the sword, before merging directly afterward. After a jump out the back of the castle, the player lands in a small village before going through a valley with Deku Babas. After a final jump, the player returns to the start.

Shortcuts

 * In the field, a mushroom can be used to cut through the zigzags.
 * Before the Master Sword are three crystals that give spin-boosts. If a player touches all three, the puzzle complete sound from Zelda will play as a Boost Pad ramp opens up before the Master Sword, allowing the player to jump into it. It acts as an Anti-Gravity Spinner.
