The Desert of Mystery is a location from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. The Desert of Mystery can be found in southwestern Hyrule, and is the location of the Desert Palace, the second dungeon in the game. The Book of Mudora is required to enter the Desert Palace. When attempting to enter, a giant statue will block the way, but a pedestal can be found in the middle. On the pedestal are engraved words written in the ancient Hylian Language, which Link can not read without the book. Using the book to read the pedestal causes the statues to move.

[edit] Points of interest
[edit] Cave
In the area is a cave, whose entrance is sealed by a cracked wall which can be destroyed with a Bomb. Inside the cave, there is an hermit named Aginah, who recognizes Link as the hero who will save Hyrule, and wishes him luck in his travels. There is also another bombable wall that hides a Treasure Chest containing a Piece of Heart.
[edit] Lockpicker
Outside of the desert, there is a strange man who is apparently mute. Link can complete a small sidequest involving the man to obtain the fourth bottle.
[edit] Boss Room
Once the first half of the Desert Palace has been completed, Link must exit the dungeon and use the Power Glove in order to move the stones that block the entrance to the other half of the dungeon, where the Lanmolas that serve as the dungeon's bosses can be found.
[edit] Bombos Medallion
The Bombos Medallion can be found in the Desert of Mystery. If Link uses the Magic Mirror near the dead end that should have been the entrance to the Desert of Mystery in the Dark World, he appears, in the Light World, on top of the ledge where a strange stone with inscribed Hylian letters on it. If Link uses the Book of Mudora to decipher the letters, the Bombos Medallion descends from the sky.
