The Ultimate Guide to Illuminating Hyrule Castle: Uncover Zelda's Brightbloom Seed Secret!

Highlights

A player creatively brightened up the gloomy Hyrule Castle in Tears of the Kingdom by strategically placing Brightbloom Seeds, resulting in an impressive transformation.

Brightbloom Seeds are commonly employed to illuminate dim caves or areas in the game, with players using Giant Brightbloom Seeds for optimal impact. The process of illuminating Hyrule Castle took around 50 minutes in its entirety, thus players should allocate ample time for this endeavor.

A clever player in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom strategically placed multiple Brightbloom Seeds around Hyrule Castle, bringing a much-needed ray of brightness to its gloomy atmosphere. The resulting video showcases one of the most impressive uses of Brightbloom Seeds in the entire game.

Hyrule Castle has faced its fair share of hardships recently. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the castle had fallen into disrepair and was under the control of Calamity Gannon. Guardians patrolled its surroundings, making it extremely difficult to navigate. Fast forward to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Hyrule Castle finds itself in a similar predicament. Gannon has returned, this time lifting the iconic castle high above a chasm, rendering it inaccessible to most residents. To make matters worse, the castle's once majestic appearance has been replaced with a dark, sinister facade.

Reddit user Dugimah grew tired of the gloomy atmosphere of the castle and shared a video on how to bring some brightness to it. The video begins at night, with Link flying on an air bike around Hyrule Castle, and a message pointing out the castle's deteriorated state. After a brief pause, the video shows Link returning to the Second Gatehouse and flying away on his air bike once the task is complete. The camera captures the new and improved Hyrule Castle, now adorned with strategically placed Brightbloom Seeds on every high point. The final result resembles the enchanting kingdom of Disney World more than the traditional Hyrule Castle.

Most players typically use Brightbloom Seeds in dark caves or within the depths of Hyrule to enhance visibility. In case they run out of Brightbloom Seeds, players can rely on the illuminating Miner's Armor found in Tears of the Kingdom. Although not explicitly mentioned in the video, it seems that Dugimah utilized Giant Brightbloom Seeds, which emit enough light to be visible from afar.

Dugimah commented that it took approximately 50 minutes to complete the entire process for the job. Therefore, Tears of the Kingdom players who wish to illuminate Hyrule Castle should allocate a significant amount of time for this task.

The game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, can be played on Nintendo Switch.
