| The Final Heart Container |
The Hidden Palace is one of our last stops before we arrive at the Great Palace to claim the Triforce of Courage and free Zelda from her eternal slumber. This palace is truly challenging: it offers false floors, looping "steps" and some of the games most challenging enemies. This palace also offers an outside section, making it unique to the series thus far: no dungeon in Zelda I went outdoors, and this is the only one in Zelda II that does so. The paneling in this dungeon is absolutely disgusting: brick red background and fuchsia direct flooring. The boss of this dungeon isn't hard, per say, but a bit frustrating simply because it's not really the boss you have to worry about, it's the lava around him as well as timing your jumps to strike his head when he comes out of the lava. The Barba Ray, as I call it, looks menacing, has lots of health, and requires skill in the endeavor of avoiding the environment around you while dodging his attacks, but you can generally stay on the same platform...this battle requires a lot of patience, something you don't normally need in a boss battle.
