I wanted to ask if there's anything I should do before that or if I should get anything/craft anything/etc. to make Hyrule Castle easier.

The only hard part of the castle area is exploring it, finding the secrets, finding the Memory, etc. but it sounds like you already did all that.

The game has pretty good DLC IMO, which you're able to do before beating the game, if you prefer that.

DLC pack 1 is ok, there's a "cave of combat trials" thing like you often see in Zelda games, and they take away all your stuff, like Eventide Island, which is interesting. Not my favorite Zelda thing, these long combat things, personally. (The "hard" cave is like 1-2 hours long!!)

DLC pack 2 is a big quest chain which I thought was pretty fun. It takes you across hyrule again doing various things, including 12 new shrines that I'd say were 1 step better than most shrines in the game. And then there's a new divine beast dungeon at the end, with a very cool reward.

Both DLCs also populate the world with a bit more loot, like new armor graphics, and a few pieces of loot with actual new functionality, such as a Korok Mask that helps you detect nearby koroks. None of this is very impactful if you're actually at the end of the game, but something to consider if you play the game again someday.

I'm kind of curious if there's just certain Korok minigames that I just never figured out that were super subtle and I just kept running past them.

It's pretty likely! Some of the standard korok minigames are pretty weird. There's one minigame I didn't notice til my second time through. In addition, a lot of koroks are just designed to be hard to notice, like the Flower ones, and the Balloons they always hide under cliffs and such. There's also a few "unique" korok seeds, where they don't re-use the mechanic again.
