The '''Ice Palace''' (氷の塔, ''Ice Tower'') is the fifth [[dungeon]] of the [[Dark World]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''.
 
 
==Entrance to the Palace==
 
It is located in the Southeast, in the middle of the large lake. Access to the dungeon is granted by swimming to the largest island in the [[Light World]]. Lifting up the black rock (which requires collection of the [[Power Bracelet#Power Gloves, Titan's Mitt, and the Gauntlets|Titan's Mitt]] in [[Thieves' Town]]) reveals a portal; [[Link]] must step on it to be teleported outside Ice Palace entrance.
 
 
==Themes and Navigation==
 
The Ice Palace is possibly the first [[ice]]-themed dungeon in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' series]], followed six years later by the [[Ice Cavern]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. As such, the ground is frozen in most rooms, making Link's traction more difficult. It contains numerous floors as well, although none of them have too many rooms, and the main objective is to descend to the last floor, where the boss resides. Link frequently has to move blocks that obstruct his way, and some creatures can only be defeated with the [[Fire Rod]]. This dungeon is considered to be one of the most difficult in the game, although one of its rooms has its complexity lowered in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake.<ref>[http://guides.ign.com/guides/482080/page_21.html The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Four Swords - SNES/GBA Changes]</ref> The main treasure is the [[Tunic#Blue Mail|Blue Mail]], a tunic that increases Link's physical defenses. The Palace's boss is [[Kholdstare]], a living formation of [[ice]]. After defeating the boss, Link receives a [[Heart Container]] and the 5th [[Crystal]].
 
 
==Trivia==
 
*It is interesting to note that the Ice Palace goes entirely underground.
