The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom: Here’s how you can complete the Prologue

Zelda, the princess of Hyrule, will appear at the game's beginning. She starts talking to Link about their descent and brings up a deeper, more terrifying tunnel. Your first goal, "Beneath Hyrule Castle," then leads you to the gloomier tunnel. As you advance, Zelda explains that the gloom within these caverns is responsible for the illness plaguing people around them.

The source of this mysterious Gloom will be revealed if you descend underneath to a location. It manifests as a swirling green light radiating from a figure, triggering an epic cutscene that unveils the demonic force lurking beneath the castle.

You are in an unknown place now that you have parted ways with Zelda. Link discovers a strange device attached to his hands when he awakens in this mysterious location. Suddenly, he hears a voice talking to him about the darkening on his arm.

Leave the pool and proceed outside. You'll encounter several apples and mushrooms as you go along. After that, you'll run into Soldier Construct, a green robot. You will only have four chances to attack the robot before it runs out of energy because your broken sword is useless.
