| The '''Eastern Palace''', also known as the '''East Palace''', is the second dungeon in {{ALTTP}}. Link enters the palace as part of [[Sahasrahla]]'s test to see if he can overcome it and obtain the [[Pendants of Virtue#Pendant of Courage|Pendant of Courage]]. As suggested by the name, it's found in the eastern side of [[Hyrule]], inside a rocky canyon.

| The Eastern Palace returns in {{FSA}} as the [[Eastern Temple]].

| [[File:LttP bigcannonball.png|thumb|left|The corridor with the rolling [[Ball]]s]]
| |
| The dungeon's [[puzzle]]s and obstacles aren't too complex, but can appear daunting at first. The first major obstacle in particular involves huge rolling [[Ball]]s sent down a main corridor, with some of them being bigger than others; Link must walk very carefully and get out of the way when a ball is approaching. This trap appears in a slightly different form deeper inside the dungeon, with balls appearing from all sides of the room. [[Eyegore]], originally known here as Rocklops make their first appearance and provide a stiff challenge for an inexperienced player. The main treasure item is the [[Bow]], which is located near the center of the dungeon in a large room filled with [[Stalfos]], and Link will need it to defeat the Red Rocklops to reach the Dungeon Master. At the end of the dungeon, Link must fight six [[Armos Knight]]s for the Pendant of Courage and a [[Heart Container]] (like all Heart Containers dropped by bosses in this game, you have to collect it to progress).
| |
| | |
| Upon besting the palace, Sahasrahla will explain more about the [[Master Sword]] and the [[Knights of Hyrule]], and will encourage Link to find the remaining pendants so that the Blade of the Evil's Bane can be claimed (the pendants' locations will be marked on the map as well). He also gives Link the [[Pegasus Boots]].

| |
| The Eastern Palace returns, known as the '''East Temple''' in [[BS The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets]], and is again the first dungeon in the adventure. Despite being in the same location and having the same appearance, the interior layout has changed completely. It still shares many similar aspects; it is still filled with [[Stalfos]], [[Popo]]s and [[Rocklops]], and contains the [[Bow]] in the Big Chest and has two floors (now a basement rather than a second floor), but it is generally less complex and more linear in structure, and does not have any iron ball traps. The dungeon also contains the [[Fighter's Sword]], [[Fighter's Shield]] and the [[Pegasus Boots]] (which now allow the hero to change direction while running). The [[Armos Knights]] return as the main boss.

| |
| In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Comic)|''A Link to the Past'' comic]], Link travels to the Eastern Palace after being told by [[Sahasrahla's Friend]] where [[Sahasrahla]] can be found. There, he finds the descendant of the wise men, and although he is puzzled as to how someone so young like Link could be searching for the [[Master Sword]],<ref>{{cite book|quote=Yes... I am INDEED Sahasrahla! But you... You are just a BOY... I cannot believe a youngster like you is looking for the Master Sword! Not just anyone can use that mighty blade!|book=A Link to the Past|publisher=Nintendo Power|page=12,13}}</ref> he tells Link he must recover the [[Pendants of Virtue]] to claim the legendary weapon. Sahasrahla reveals that he can help Link by giving him the Pendant of Courage, but since the task to finding the remaining two pendants will not be an easy one, he asks whether he will be able to accomplish said task,<ref>{{cite book|quote=The symbols are the legendary Pendants of Virtue. I can help you with the Pendant of Courage...but finding the remaining two pendants is not a quest to be taken lightly... Do you really believe you can accomplish this task, young man?|book=A Link to the Past|publisher=Nintendo Power|page=13}}</ref> to which the young hero confidently says yes both for Zelda and his deceased uncle.<ref>{{cite book|quote=Of course! Besides, I promised Zelda! And...I have to bring Agahnim to justice for what he did to my uncle!|book=A Link to the Past|publisher=Nintendo Power|page=13,14}}</ref> Just as Sahasrahla hands the Pendant of Courage to Link, the [[Castle Soldier]]s pursuing Link find him. Empowered by the pendant, he easily dispatches their leader and sends the rest fleeing. The young hero, amazed at the power of the pendant, promises to find the remaining two pendants and leaves the palace to search for them.<ref>{{cite book|quote=So, THIS is the power of the pendant... Excellent! I will rise to the challenge of the pendants, and with their power, I will destroy you, Agahnim!!|book=A Link to the Past|publisher=Nintendo Power|page=16}}</ref>

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Eastern Palace shares some similarities to the [[Eagle (Dungeon)|Eagle]] in the original {{LOZ}}, with a similar color scheme, a similar map layout, the same dungeon treasure, and [[Stalfos]] as common enemies, and both being the first main dungeon of each adventure.
| |
| *The [[Face Shrine (Dungeon)|Face Shrine]] and [[Southern Face Shrine]] in {{LA}} also shares many similarities to the Eastern Palace, with [[Armos]] protecting the entrances of each shrine, an [[Armos Knight]] appearing as a boss in the southern shrine, and virtually identical statues at the entrance.
