The King's Tomb

The Kings Tomb, also known as The King's Grave and alternatively parsed The King's Tomb or King's Tomb, is a minor location in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. It is found southwest of the Harbor Town of Mido.

Kings Tomb serves little purpose aside from being a landmark, although its name suggests that it is the burial place of the King of Hyrule. In the Town of Ruto, Error tells Link of a tunnel located to south of Kings Tomb, and Link must follow it to reach the Island Palace.

Kings Tomb is a lot larger in the Famicom Disk System version, in which it has some enemies, a red Magic Jar, and three orange pillars to the left and right of the gravestone. In English releases, Kings Tomb is a single-screen area with a light blue sky, and the gravestone instead has a short pillar to the left and right each. An old woman was also added, and she simply tells Link that he is at Kings Tomb. Furthermore, English releases reuse the original layout of Kings Tomb for a nearby graveyard but with the orange pillars removed.
