A Link Between Worlds Walkthrough Chapter 1: Eastern Palace |
The Eastern Palace is the first dungeon in A Link Between Worlds. It is located along the eastern border of Hyrule, deep within the Eastern Ruins. The Bow is required in order to reach and complete the dungeon. Link must travel through the dungeon in order to obtain the Merge ability.
Gaining Entrance
The Eastern Palace is located deep within the Eastern Ruins. To reach it, Link must have spoken with Sahasrahla. He will tell Link that his student Osfala has traveled to the Palace, but realizes he is now in danger since Osfala is one of the seven Sages. After learning this, Link can then travel to the Ruins, but is soon stopped by an impenetrable wall. Link can then speak with Ravio, who will give him the Bow.
With the Bow in hand, Link can then shoot the blue orbs near the stone wall, lowering the wall. Link can then follow the path northeast to the Eastern Palace, where he will meet up with Osfala. The Sage will soon run inside, leaving Link to follow him inside.
Dungeon Overview
From the outside, the Eastern Palace appears much like it's counterpart in A Link to the Past. The Palace is shaped like a rectangular building, with the front possessing several large statues of an unknown enemy.
The inside of the dungeon posses 3 floors, with the third floor being exclusively the boss room. The floors are characteristically gray stone, and the walls are a relatively plain green. All of the walls possess masks that look exactly like the ones from the House of Gales and the Tower of Hera.
Most of the dungeon consists of large gaps that tend to hinder progress, along with few and far between enemies that will act as obstacles. The dungeon is relatively easy to complete, as it must be completed first.
Enemies
These are enemies you will encounter in the Eastern Palace.
Mini-Boss
The Mini-Boss of this dungeon are four Armos. Once they activate and turn golden, they can easily be defeated with a couple of strikes from the sword. After they are defeated a green portal will appear and a door will open, allowing Link to continue through the dungeon.

Boss
The Boss of this dungeon is Yuga. After sealing Osfala within a painting, he will then attack Link. Yuga can be attacked by using the Bow to shoot an arrow across the gap, stunning Yuga momentarily. Link can then run over and attack him breifly, before Yuga merges into the wall and moves to another area of the room.
After this process is repeated a few times, Yuga will end the battle and turn Link into a painting. He will then escape from the Palace with his painting, unaware that Ravio's Bracelet saved Link from staying as a painting.
