'''Reesong Palace''' is [[Ganon#Philips CD-i Games#Ganon|Ganon's]] stronghold in [[Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon]]. It is a large fortress-like castle in the middle of [[Gamelon]]'s most montainous area. It is considerably run-down and understandably filled with Ganon's hordes of minions. There is a long bridge over a river that connects to [[The Fairy Pool]] and [[Shutoy Lake]] (as seen in the map). The bridge is built in [[Nokani Forest]], and you can also see some trees of this forest in the dungeon start. This bridge it's where Zelda starts the dungeon. It is also here that Ganon has [[King Harkinian#Philips CD-i Games|King Harkinian]] locked up. Impa appears in the fortress yard and tell Zelda that she "can only win by falling". She actually means that there is a sewer in the castle and Zelda should fall in. A entrance is blocked by a rock and can be destroyed with 10 bombs. The entrance leads into a underground passage that contains a door in the other side. The door leads into a tower. The tower is filled with flying enemies and statue heads. Outside the tower, Zelda will be in the castle top yard. In the middle of the yard, a sewer entrance is seen, and Zelda should fall in just like Impa said. Inside the sewer there is a small passage that connects into a destroyed room, where spikes fall from the ceiliong constantly. The key is located in this room. After it's colected, Zelda must go back to the sewer and enter another passage that lead her back to Reesong Palace's outer. She have to pass through the whole castle again until she reach the yard. The yard contains a big gate that can now be unlocked with the key collected before. The gate will take Zelda to Ganon's lair, who will show up afraid of the Fairy Lantern's light. Once Ganon has been defeated, he'll be imprisioned in the [[Book of Koridai]], and item that got somehow in Gamelon. He will also drop a key that is required to unlock the King. Once the King is freed, the [[Characters in Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon#Royal Retainer|Royal Retainer]] shows up with the apprehended [[Characters in Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon#Duke Onkled|Duke Onkled]] who begs for mercy from the King. Lady Alma is also there and when [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] tells her to stop looking at her stupid mirror and breaks it, she frees [[Link]] who was somehow imprisoned in the mirror. Completing this area completes the game.

Reesong Palace (pronounced /ˈɹiːsɒŋ/ REE-song)[1] is a location in The Wand of Gamelon.[2] It the game's final stage and is unlocked after completing Shutoy Lake.

Features and Overview

Reesong Palace is a large, fortress-like castle north of Gamelon's mountain range. It was seized by Ganon, leaving it considerably rundown and guarded by hordes of his minions. It is also here that Ganon has King Harkinian imprisoned. The Palace's gateway was locked, whose Key was surrendered to Zelda by Duke Onkled in Dodomai Palace in exchange for her mercy. The Palace is connected to Nokani Forest via a long stone wall that runs along the ravine, where Zelda enters the area. The wall is plagued by invisible enemies that can only be seen by the light of the Fairy Lantern. At the end of the wall is a yard where Impa appears a final time to aid Zelda with the Triforce of Wisdom's guidance. Impa informs Zelda that she can "only win by falling", referring to the well inside the Palace courtyard. A boulder blocking the entrance at the end of the yard can be destroyed with either 10 Bombs or the Power Glove.

The entrance eventually leads to a tower filled with Flying Fish and Stone Statues. One of the Heads drops a Key to the next door after it is defeated. Immediately outside is the Palace's courtyard. A large well in the courtyard's floor sits in its center. At the bottom of the well is a grated window that exits outside the Palace walls. A ladder in the well leads to another passage that connects to a ruined chamber, where Goriyas attack Zelda and Spikes fall relentlessly. A Goriya at the end of the chamber drops the Key to the locked door in the courtyard, which leads to Ganon's tower.

Inside Ganon's tower, Zelda confronts Ganon with the light of the Fairy Lantern. She defeats him with the Wand of Gamelon, imprisoning him inside a book. His defeat drops a Key that opens the bedroom where King Harkinian is being held, located at the very top of the tower. There Zelda frees her father from his cage.
