(→Trivia: It probably has nothing to do with it since the Japanese games used the terms Sanctuary and Palace before settling on Temple as a translation of shinden, but it may still be a possible explanation.) |

In the former game, palaces house sacred lecterns where Link must place magic crystals that lift the seal blocking the entrance to the [[Great Palace]], which itself houses the long-missing [[Triforce of Courage]]. In the latter game, palaces guard either sacred pendants that are the key for obtaining the [[Master Sword]] or crystals where imprisoned [[Maiden]]s are encased. | ||
In | In {{TAoL|-}}, the palaces are explored with a side-scrolling format and, like the labyrinths in ''The Legend of Zelda'', can be distinguished by the color of the bricks they were built with; they usually require Link using magic spells to be conquered, and fighting enemies is now optional (as long as they're easy to overlook, of course). In {{ALttP|-}}, the palaces are explored in top-view perspective, and have a more elaborate interior than the previously cited dungeons, having more hazards, obstacles and traps; as with all other dungeons in the game, a [[Big Key]] is required in each palace to meet the boss. | ||

*In | *In {{TAoL|-}}, and in some cases in {{ALttP|-}} (i.e., [[Eastern Palace|East Palace]], {{Term|ALttP|Desert Palace|link}}, and the [[Palace of Darkness|Dark Palace]]), the term "palace" is used as a translation of the Japanese term {{Romanize|神殿|shinden}}; in the Japanese version of the former, the term "sanctuary" is used instead. This may be related to the policy of Nintendo of America to remove overt religious references from games.<ref>{{Cite Web|url=http://www.filibustercartoons.com/Nintendo.php |title= Nintendo's Era of Censorship |site= Filibuster Cartoons}}</ref> From {{OoT|-}} onward, however, this policy was no longer applied to locations in this series, and so 神殿 is given its literal translation of "temple". | ||
