Eastern Palace (A Link to the Past)

The Eastern Palace (東の神殿, Eastern Temple), called the "East Palace" in the GBA remake, is officially the first real dungeon in A Link to the Past. Link enters the palace as part of Sahasrahla's test to see if Link can overcome the palace and obtain the Pendant of Courage. The dungeon's item is the Bow, which is located near the center of the dungeon in a large room filled with Stalfoses. At the end of the dungeon, Link must fight eight Armos Knights for the Pendant of Courage and an obligatory Heart Container. Upon besting the palace, Sahasrahla will explain more about the Master Sword and the Knights of Hyrule, and will encourage Link to find the remaining pendants before giving him the Pegasus Boots.

The Eastern Palace returns in Four Swords Adventures as the Eastern Temple.
