Great Palace

The Great Palace (also known as Thunderbird Palace) is the final and the most difficult temple in Zelda II:The Adventure of Link. This temple keeps the Triforce of Courage hidden and waits for a hero worthy of the power it gives and who has a pure heart. It's located at the end of the Valley of Death and has a sealed wall of magic made by King of Hyrule. The sealed wall can only dissappear when the six crystal gathered from the temples is placed in the stone statues. Enemies called fokka are defending this palace and they are bird-like enemies and are very like the Iron Knuckles(the major difference is that they are much faster than the Iron Knuckles). If you get a GAME OVER you can choose to start in the entrance of the palace instead of the castle(Only by hitting continue). The boss of this temple is "thunderbird" and after that Shadow Link will attack you!Showing your courage and power will make you deserve the Triforce!

Boss Strategys

Thunderbirdis arguably the hardest boss in the game.No matter what,you MUST Use the Thunder spell(It is reccomended,but not required that you use the Jump and Sheild spells.) to make Thunderbird vunerable to attack.Once he is vunerable the only way to attack him is to jump and slash at his head.Once he is defeated he will give you 1000 EXP And the key to the chamber of the Triforce of Courage.

Shadow Linkcould be the hardest,or easiest boss in all of Zelda II.If you fight him the normal way here is pretty much no strategy involved.You just have to depend on your skill and go mono-e-mono with him.If you decide to take the easy way out,all you have to do is duck in the left corner and continuosly stab him.You may get hit once or twice but you probably will not die.Once he is defeated,congratulations,you have beaten Zelda II:The Adventure of Link!
