Dark Palace

In the Dark Palace is a room on the 2nd floor with 6 windows shining light into the chamber. North of this room is a tiny rectangular room with a treasure chest. To reach this room you will need to ensure that all of the platforms in the room’s center are lowered. In here are 2 switches. While they activate the platforms, the lower switch will also cause the wall to the north to flip when it is activated.

Use a Bomb on the bottom switch and then run to the platform above. Smack the other switch to get to a higher ledge. Then run to the northern wall and wait for the bomb to explode. The wall will flip and Link will be on the side of the room with the treasure chest and Master Ore.
