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 [[Pendant of Courage]].
 
==Entrance to the Palace==
The Eastern Palace is found in the eastern side of [[Hyrule]], inside a rocky canyon.
 
==Themes and Navigation==
The dungeon's [[puzzle]]s and obstacles are not 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]].
 
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]].

[[File:Eastern Palace (comic).png|250px|thumb|right|The Eastern Palace in the comic]]
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 comic|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 comic|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 comic|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 comic|publisher= Nintendo Power|page= 16}}</ref>
