The Palace of the Four Sword is a secret dungeon in the Game Boy Advance remake of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It is located inside the Pyramid of Power and is only accessible after completing A Link to the Past and obtaining 10 Medals of Courage from Four Swords. 20 rupees must be paid to enter.

[edit] Dungeon

The dungeon's main room holds several Dairas as enemies, and five doors leading away. The center door leads to the boss and is blocked by an energy beam, which only the Four Sword can penetrate. The four other doors lead to obstacles that lead to one of the first four Dark World mini-bosses: Helmasaur King, Arrghus, Mothula, and Blind. Each of them holds a shard of the Four Sword.

The mini-bosses are all more powerful than their previous incarnations and are also pallete swaps. The Helmasaur King regains his helmet after a few hits. Arrghus now has Baris surrounding him instead and bubbles attack Link when they are defeated. Mothula separates into three separate entities, and each of them splits into several Bees when attacked. Blind appears first as Link's Uncle. His heads, once knocked off, now have to be sent back at him instead of him growing a new one.

[edit] Boss

The final boss is four Dark Links, who must be defeated one at a time. Each has a running attack, as well as a special attack belonging only to that Link. The last Link, Purple Link, has all of the special attacks. The four Dark Links come in order of color: green, red, blue and purple. After they are defeated, Link can complete the Quest for the Whirlwind Sword Attack.
