Undo the binding force! |
|
- When you walk up to the force field, the binding force will be undone and the force field with disappear. If you somehow managed to get here with less than six crystals, the force field would just instantly kill you if you try to go through it.
- Remember, press continue if you die in here so you'll end up at the entrance again. This palace has a lot of its own enemies, and they are far tougher than any we've faced so far. The only goal in this palace is to get to the other end at the lower right corner of it. Take a deep breath, and go inside.
|
Uhh, nice fire birdy! |
|
Jump over the false floor. | 
Fight them with extreme caution. |
|
- Take the left path after going down the first elevator. The first enemy we encounter is a Fotail. The fire they spit out actually moves towards you, so act fast and attack them. Go into the next room.
- A false floor is in this room, and it's right after the pillar. Simply jump before Link isn't walking above it anymore. Even with an L-8 sword, the Bots below will take more than one hit. Go down the elevator at the end of the room. For a while now we'll be heading east nonstop.
|
 |
They jump! They jump! |
|
- You'll come across a room with weird block formations. Simply slash your way through them while avoiding the Dragon Heads. This room has a Red Fokka and stairs, but since they can jump you are no longer safe. Use a Downward Thrust to go down through the blocks and take the elevator.
- When you're almost all the way down, walk on the left wall through a hidden passage. Hit the statue to get a Red Potion. The next passage down also has a secret room, but it just contains a new enemy, a King Bubble. Go farther down the elevator, and go through the hall on the right.

What's this? |

|
- Fotails jump around while spitting fire at you. The fire also moves towards you, making them one of the most dangerous enemies ever.
- These enemies are only found in the Great Palace.

- Fokkas are basically Ironknuckles with no orange form, and they can jump! Since they can do this, not even stairs can make you safe from these foes.
- A bird-like knight enemy, they are also found in the Great Palace only.

- Hit this gigantic flying skull and several smaller Bubbles will fly out of it. King Bubbles are a force to be reckoned with.
- Since several Bubbles in one room can be a pain, it is best to just avoid these enemies unless you're dying for experience points.

And normal ones were already bad... |

- Go through the long hallway filled with Red Ropes and Dragon Heads. Slash the statue to get a Red Potion. Go down the elevator. Don't worry, there are plenty more elevators for you in this place. :) This room has giant square block structures, and a Blue Fokka.
- It's very hard to make yourself safe from the Blue Fokka in the blocks, but if done right you can avoid it and prevent it from following you. Run across the disintegrating bridge and go down the elevator. Go through the long hallway with a King Bubble and Fotail. Run like the wind from the Blue Fokka, go down through the blocks, then down the elevator.
|
You aren't safe anywhere... |
|
Get through the hall. |
Smash those blocks! |
Grab it with caution. |
Take the Link Doll! |
|
- There is another hidden passage when you go down the elevator, and it leads to a Red Potion. When you get down, go right first and do a Downward Thrust until you reach the fairy. Don't hold down too long, or you'll fall into the lava. Take the left path and be careful with the Bots. This leads to a dead-end with a Link Doll.
- After taking the Link Doll, go back to the elevator and go down. Keep going left until you reach a room with blocks on the floor and Dragon Heads flying by. Beneath the fifth and sixth block from the left is an invisible floor, so go down it.
|
Go through the floor... |
|
 |
Upward Thrust! |
|
- After you land, start to head east. Do an Upward Thrust when you go under the big hole in the ceiling. A Giant Bot will fall down, but your Upward Thrust makes it split into several smaller Bots. Go into the next room.
- While walking on the disintegrating bridge, you'll see a hole in the middle of the lava. Walk above it and let the bridge melt below you so you fall down it. This will make you land in a room that is close to the end of the palace.
|
Go down the hole... |
|

|

|
- When these Giant Bots get touched, they split into several smaller ones. Giant Bots are hidden in holes in the ceiling in the Great Palace. Every time you see one of these holes, do an Upward Thrust since you never know if one will be there until you go under it.

- If you walk to the left you can find some Red Potions in the blocks. However, there is also a chance that the blocks can have Fokkas in them as well. Take the path on the right to reach the boss of the palace, Thunderbird. This boss is by no means easy and you'll need at least 50% of your magic left if you want to beat him. If you only have one life left with not much magic, then you're out of luck, my friend.

Threat:
- Use Thunder to make him blue and vulnerable and attack his face!

|
|
Use Thunder! |
Slash his head! |
- Until you use Thunder, Thunderbird is invincible and red. Use Thunder to turn him blue and expose his face. Enable Shield and Jump and start to jump at his face. Even with the strongest sword possible, he can still take several hits.
- As the battle goes on, he'll move around faster and spit fire more rapidly. Upward and Downward Thrusts do not work; you have to slash his face directly. When you manage to kill him, grab the Key and head into the final room.
|
|
Summary:
- Use Thunder at the start of the battle then enable Shield and Jump. You have to hit his face with a normal stab, nothing else. He will start to move faster and spit more fire at once as the battle goes on. Snag the Key and go into the last room of the Great Palace.

The Triforce of Courage! |
Gasp! |
 - Link will walk into the last room to see the Triforce Holder with the Triforce of Courage. However, he isn't just going to hand it over. Link will have to do one last challenge before he is proven worthy to take it.
- For a last challenge, the Triforce Holder will make Link dual with his own shadow to test his strength and see if he is truly worthy of possessing the Triforce of Courage!

You can fight normally... |
...Or cheat. |
- The final battle for Hyrule has come. There really isn't much strategy to this fight unless you decide to take the easy way out. Since there is an easy way, this boss can either be the hardest, or the easiest boss in the whole entire game.
- If you want to cheat, simply stand in one of the corners and keep on slashing over and over. Shadow Link will get hurt every time he attempts to hurt you. When he is defeated, the room will return to normal and the Triforce Holder will give you the Triforce of Courage!
|
|
Summary:
- Either dual it out with yourself or stand in the corner and slash repeatedly When he is defeated, claim the Triforce of Courage and finally call it a game.

The Triforce is yours! |
|
 - The room will return to normal and Link will automatically moonwalk to the middle of the room. The Triforce Holder will appear in front of Link and give him the Triforce of Courage. Link takes it and returns to North Castle...
- With all three parts of the Triforce, Zelda awakens and calls Link a real hero. The curtains will then lower on the two, showing only their legs. The credits will then begin to roll. Congratulations, you just beat one of the hardest Zelda titles to date, The Adventure of Link!
