Each doorway leads to a small series of puzzle-filled rooms, culminating in a boss battle before Link is presented with a sword in a pedestal. Each of the four blades represents an element of the {{Term|ALttP|Four Sword}}. | ||

Link will also face the only {{Plural|ALttP|Oktorok|link}}, {{Plural|ALttP|Octoballoon|link}} and {{Plural|ALttP|Keese|link}} in the {{Term|ALttP|Dark World}}, and despite looking similar to their {{Term|ALttP|Light World|link}} equivalents, they are stronger than those found in {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule|link}}. The dungeon even contains {{Plural|ALttP|Like Like|link}}, which only make their appearance in the Game Boy Advance version of the game, and are able to eat Link's {{Term|ALttP|Mirror Shield|link}}. | ||

In the boss' room, the four swords soar away from Link and he must face four {{Plural|ALttP|Dark Link|link}} in turn, each seemingly having cursed each of the four elements. Upon their defeat, the Four Sword is finally restored to its former glory and held aloft by Link. When Link completes the palace, the player is given the option of starting a new game at the starting screen of {{ALttP|-}}. | ||
