The Sanctuary is a church-like building in Template:ALTTP, located north of Hyrule Castle. It is the home of the Loyal Sage.

Overview

File:ALttP Sanctuary.png
Official artwork of the Sanctuary

A secret underground tunnel runs between the castle and the Sanctuary. After Link rescues Princess Zelda from her prison in Hyrule Castle, the young hero uses this tunnel to take her to the Sanctuary. She remains there with the Loyal Sage, hiding from Agahnim.[1] However, when the young hero withdraws the Master Sword from its pedestal, the Sanctuary is attacked by castle soldiers.[2] When Link reaches the Sanctuary, he finds the mortally-wounded Loyal Sage lying on the ground. The sage informs the young hero that the princess was kidnapped and taken back to the castle so Agahnim could use her to open the Seven Sages' seal.[3]

The Sanctuary is last seen during the ending credits, showing that the Loyal Sage has fully recovered from his wounds.

Other Appearances

A Link to the Past comic

In the A Link to the Past comic, Link and Princess Zelda reach the Sanctuary after escaping Hyrule Castle through the Secret Passage. Upon reaching the Sanctuary, the Old Man living there explains the consequences of Agahnim's plan.[4] However, Agahnim suddenly appears and commands that Zelda return to the castle.[5] Although Link steps in to protect the princess, the wizard easily defeats him when the young hero tries to attack him. As he takes Zelda away, Zelda reveals to Link that only the Master Sword can harm Agahnim.[6] The young hero then rushes out of the Sanctuary to find the legendary sword.[7]
