The '''Eastern Palace''', also known as the '''East Palace''', is the first full [[dungeon]] of both ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]''. It also appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'' where it is referred to as the '''Eastern Temple'''. True to its name, it is located in the eastern region of [[Hyrule]], surrounded by [[Armos]]-filled ruins. In the [[Dark World]] and [[Lorule]], the [[Dark Palace]] is located in place of the Eastern Palace, with the ruins being replaced by a hedge maze. Inside, its first room always features three different doors leading north, and later a room with a path where [[ball]]s roll down.

==History==
===''The Legend of Zelda'' series===
====''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', [[Link]] travels to the East Palace in order to find the [[Pendants of Virtue#Pendant of Courage|Pendant of Courage]], with [[Sahasrahla]] hiding in the ruins surrounding it to advise him. The dungeon introduces many common dungeon enemies in the game, such as [[Popo|Snake Bushel]]s, [[Stalfos]], [[Bubble]]s, and [[Eyegore|Rocklops]]. Inanimate statues of Rocklops are also present throughout. The dungeon item is the [[bow]], allowing him to fire arrows. The boss of the palace is a group of six [[Armos Knight]]s.

====''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', the Eastern Temple appears as the third stage of the second level, [[Eastern Hyrule]], in order to save the [[Yellow Maiden]] from [[Vaati]]'s curse. The large outside area with Armos is not present, with the temple instead being adjacent to the [[Village of the Blue Maiden]]. Its front can be first seen at the end of the village's stage, though when the temple's own stage starts, it has begun raining. Once again, it features many inanimate [[Eyegore]] statues, despite not having any normal Eyegores. This dungeon features access points to the [[Dark World]] along with various puzzle elements. While most of it has the music from ''A Link to the Past''{{'}}s [[Light World]] dungeons, some hidden side-scrolling areas instead use the Dark World dungeon theme. On the west side, the [[slingshot]] can be used to eventually reach the bow and arrow (itself in a room resembling the sidescrolling item rooms in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'') in order to shoot at some [[eye switch]]es in the center room, creating a bridge. On the east side, [[bomb]]s are made use of to destroy many [[Bombable wall|cracked walls]], and several vines cover other passages, creating a maze throughout the basement. Once this maze is navigated, a [[lamp]] becomes available, allowing the Links to light [[torch]]es, including some in the center room across the bridge created from shooting the eye switches, which opens another door. Through this door, the Links are attacked by [[Flying Tile]]s and several other flying piece of scenery, such as [[treasure chest]]s and even Eyegore statues. Following this is a room with [[Shadow Link]]s and [[Bomb Flower]]s, allowing the Links to reach the Big Key, soon leading to the boss, [[Stone Arrghus]], who is fought with a [[boomerang]].

====''The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]'', Link, with [[Ravio]]'s bow, travels to the Eastern Palace at the behest of Sahasrahla to find his pupil, [[Osfala]], and warn him of [[Yuga]]'s plan to capture all [[Sage|Seven Sages]]s, due to him being one. However, Osfala brushes Link off at the entrance due to the former's ego, and Link must travel through it after him. Despite Osfala having just gone through, all of the puzzles remain unsolved for Link. The dungeons itself acts as an abridged version of the ''A Link to the Past'' dungeon. Once Link reaches the boss room, Yuga turns Osfala into a painting, and then battles Link. After Link defeats him, Yuga decides to flee, but turns Link into a painting against the wall first. However, due to Link having [[Ravio's Bracelet]], he is able to escape by moving along the walls and through the barred windows. As such, this is one of the few main dungeons in the franchise where Link needs to exit via the front door, instead of being warped out after defeating the boss.

The dungeon has no plot item gained as a reward for completing it; the reward is instead the ability to merge into walls. The Pendant of Courage is instead given to Link by [[Princess Zelda]] beforehand, with him only discovering that it is the Pendant of Courage a short while after completing the dungeon.

=====Enemies and obstacles=====
*[[Armos]]
*[[Ball]]
*[[Gargantuan Ball]]
*[[Popo]]
*[[Stalfos]] (white)
*[[Yuga]] (boss)

====''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild''====
{{main|Eastern Abbey}}
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]'', the ruins of the Eastern Palace, localized as the [[Eastern Abbey]], appears on the [[Great Plateau]]. It is the location of the [[Ja Baij Shrine]], the location where the [[Remote Bomb]] [[rune]] is acquired, as well as where active [[Decayed Guardian]]s are introduced.

===''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' (comic)===
In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (comic)|comic adaptation]] of ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' by [[Shotaro Ishinomori]], the Eastern Palace is shown in Chapter 2, where it is depicted as solely a hideout for Sahasrahla. To reach it, Link much travel across a deep wood, a rocky cliffside, and a lake inhabiting at least one giant fish. The palace itself is depicted as a large ziggurat with the hideout in the temple at the top, with a staircase lined with statues of horned bird-men, and a similar pyramid shown in the background. When Link reaches the top and tells Sahasrahla of his plight, Link is given the Pendant of Courage from him. However, he is then cornered by a group of [[Guard (enemy)|soldier]]s led by a [[Ball and Chain Trooper]], whom he had previously escaped. With the Pendant of Courage's help, Link defeats them and continues on to find the other [[Pendants of Virtue|Pendants]]. In Chapter 8, Sahasrahla is revealed to have traveled back to his house due to an earthquake nearly destroying the palace, an event caused by Link destroying the [[Dark Palace|Palace of Darkness]] in the [[Dark World]].

===''BS Zelda no Densetsu Inishie no Sekiban''===
In ''[[BS Zelda no Densetsu Inishie no Sekiban]]'', the Eastern Palace is the first dungeon. Its layout is similar to in ''A Link to the Past'', though some parts of it are navigated in reverse (notably coming out of the north door into the room with the big chest) and having several [[bombable wall]]s. The dungeon item is again the bow, though the [[Bug-Catching Net]] and the [[Pegasus Boots]] can also be found. Near the end, a friendly [[thief]] can be found in a side room, and sells Link an [[arrow]] upgrade for 50 [[Rupee]]s. The boss is again six Armos Knights. After defeating them, the player gets the first stone tablet.

====Enemies and obstacles====
*[[Eyegore]] (green and red)
*[[Popo]]
*[[Stalfos]] (blue and red)
*[[Armos Knights]] (boss)
