The Abandoned Central Mine
Adventure Overview
The Abandoned Central Mine sits at the heart of the Depths directly below Hyrule Castle. Ancient Zonai mining equipment lines its corridors, and Construct workers still patrol its tunnels. A researcher named Josha believes the mine holds the key to understanding how the Zonai first arrived in Hyrule — if someone can reach its deepest level and activate the Central Forge.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1
Reach the Mine Entrance
The Abandoned Central Mine is accessible from the Hyrule Field Chasm or the Castle Town Prison Chasm. Navigate through dense gloom — bring plenty of Sundelions.
2
Restore Power to the Lifts
The mine's vertical lifts are unpowered. Use Zonai Batteries and Construct mechanisms to restore power and descend through three underground levels.
3
Clear the Constructs
Each level is patrolled by Soldier Constructs and one Captain Construct. The Soldier Constructs carry modified mining tools — useful Fuse materials.
4
Activate the Central Forge
The lowest level houses the Central Forge. Use Ultrahand to align three Zonai Power Spheres, then insert them into the Forge reactor. The activation reveals a carved mural of the Zonai arrival.
