Parapa Palace

Parapa Palace is the first dungeon in The Adventure of Link. In it, Link finds the Candle, useful to illuminate dark caverns, and fights the guardian of the palace: Horsehead.

Entrance to the Palace
This dungeon is located in northern Hyrule, in the coast of the sprawling Parapa Desert, from which the Palace takes its name.

Themes and Navigation
This palace is not too big in terms of size, and helps Link to prepare for the increasingly difficult later dungeons. The enemies are rather easy to defeat, with only an orange Iron Knuckle posing threat. The architecture is based on white-colored bricks, and there are a few keys to collect; additionally, this dungeon does not require any Spell to be previously mastered, although Shield is recommended.

Link will find the candle in the western potion of the palace, while the palace's guardian, Horsehead, awaits in the easternmost section.

Captain N: The Game Master
The Parapa Palace makes an appearance in the "Quest for the Potion of Power" episode of Captain N: The Game Master. Link, Princess Zelda, and Kevin visit the palace to obtain the Golden Key, which will eventually lead them to find the Potion of Power in the Island Palace. Inside the Parapa Palace, the heroes fight various monsters such as Tinsuits, Stalfos, and Dairas. Eventually, they reach an elevator that takes them to the chamber where the Golden Key is located. Link shatters the glass that was covering the key and a map leading to the Island Palace, causing the room to shake and reveal that Horsehead is the guardian of the golden item. Link and Kevin are successful in defeating Horsehead, and the heroes exit the palace to continue on their search for the Potion of Power.
