Which Mario Kart 8 course is based on The Legend of Zelda series?

Which Mario Kart 8 course is based on The Legend of Zelda series? The answer is Hyrule Circuit.

Hyrule Circuit was added to Mario Kart 8 as part of the first downloadable-content pack, released in 2014. It is the signature course of the Triforce Cup and draws directly from The Legend of Zelda, including a Hyrule Castle setting, Triforce imagery, rupees, Deku Babas, and other visual references.

The course is more than a themed backdrop: collecting rupees instead of ordinary coins is one of its distinctive touches. Its layout also includes a branching choice involving three switches, letting racers alter which route opens through the castle area. Link was added as a playable racer in the same DLC pack.

A common mix-up is to choose Mute City, Excitebike Arena, or Dragon Driftway. Those are also crossover or DLC courses, but Mute City belongs to F-Zero, Excitebike Arena comes from Excitebike, and Dragon Driftway is an original Mario Kart course.
