'''Dodomai Palace''' is a large palace and the residence of [[Duke Onkled]]. However, since [[Ganon#Philips CD-i Games|Ganon]] took over [[Gamelon]], the Palace has been over run with monsters and Duke Onkled has been sealed in his chambers. [[Hektan]] now has control of the Palace and has sealed away the [[Characters in Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon#Royal Retainer|Royal Retainer]]. Zelda starts outside of the castle, in a coastal forest, and must get inside the palace through its sewers. Once she does so, Zelda will be in the palace yard, and will have to get inside the castle through a great locked gate, which can be unlocked by using a key obtained from one of the Darknuts that guards the gate. Inside Dodomai Palace, the player will find several doors. The first one leads Zelda to a tower. The second third doors both take her to the library. The fourth and final door takes Zelda to a large hall filled with Deelers. After climbing the tower that the first door leads Zelda to, she will fight Hektan, in the top of the Castle, in a place filled with Armos. Aftet defeating Hektan, Zelda can get inside the prison, where the Royal Retainer was chained. Once he is freed by Zelda, he tells her that the key to Onkled's chamber is hiden in the portrait in the library. After striking the face of the portrait, the key is revealed and Zelda can get inside Duke Onkled's room. The duke is afraid of Zelda, begging her not to hurt him, and reveals the secret way into Reesong Palace and gives Zelda the key that opens the gate. Then, [[Nokani Forest]] becomes available.

Dodomai Palace is a location in The Wand of Gamelon.[1] It is unlocked after completing Dordung Cave.

Features and Overview

Dodomai Palace is a large palace and the residence of Duke Onkled, the ruler of Gamelon. The Palace is located in the south of Gamelon, atop a coastal hill that looks over much of the island. Following Ganon's siege, the Palace has become overrun with monsters, and is now controlled by the minion Hektan. The Palace gates can only be reached by taking a detour through a dark, flooded tunnel in the hill's base, inhabited by Arkadais, Zolas and Keese. Standing outside of the Palace is Impa, who reveals through the Triforce of Wisdom that King Harkinian had been captured by Ganon, and Lord Kiro imprisoned by Hektan.

The Palace interior is heavily guarded by Darknuts. It also appears that the Palace's structure has been compensated, as a large number of Spikes fall from above in certain places. The Palace gates are initially locked, whose Key is guarded by a pair of Darknuts outside. Inside the Palace is a hallway that leads to several doors. Two doors in the upstairs hallway are locked, preventing entry to the Palace library. The door at the bottom of a stairway leads to another hall covered in cobwalls. A Key sitting on a smashed pillar opens the door at the end of the hall, where Impa can be found again. She warns Zelda about Hektan.

The very first door in the main hallway leads to a stone stairwell, where Falling Spikes try to impede Zelda's progress. At the top is a door that leads to the outside Palace walls, where Zelda faces Hektan. Upon his defeat, Zelda earns a Life Heart, and continues to the window of a small tower. Inside she finds Lord Kiro bound by chains and frees him. He reveals to her that Duke Onkled is corrupt and had betrayed the King. He also tells her to strike the head of a portrait within the Palace library to enter Onkled's chamber. He then escapes and leaves behind the Key to the library.

The Palace library is a small chamber with two large bookshelves on either side. Atop its stairs is the aforementioned portrait, which striking reveals another Key that opens the next door to Onkled's chamber. Inside Onkled pleads to Zelda not to hurt him, and reveals the entrance and Key to Reesong Palace, where Ganon is hiding. He is then apprehended by Lord Kiro. A Triforce Map then appears at the end of the room. After completing the stage, Nokani Forest is unlocked.
