Reesong Palace is a large, fortress-like castle north of [[Gamelon]]'s mountain range. It was seized by [[Ganon]], leaving it considerably rundown and guarded by hordes of his minions. It is also here that Ganon has [[King Harkinian]] imprisoned. The Palace's gateway was locked, whose [[Key]] was surrendered to [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] by [[Duke Onkled]] in [[Dodomai Palace]] in exchange for her mercy. The Palace is connected to [[Nokani Forest]] via a long stone wall that runs along the ravine, where Zelda enters the area. The wall is plagued by invisible enemies that can only be seen by the light of the [[Fairy Lantern]]. At the end of the wall is a yard where [[Impa]] appears a final time to aid Zelda with the [[Triforce of Wisdom]]'s guidance. Impa informs Zelda that she can "only win by falling", referring to the well inside the Palace courtyard. A boulder blocking the entrance at the end of the yard can be destroyed with either 10 [[Bomb]]s or the [[Power Glove#The Wand of Gamelon|Power Glove]].

Immediately outside is the Palace's courtyard. A large well in the courtyard's floor sits in its center. At the bottom of the well is a grated window that exits outside the Palace walls. A ladder in the well leads to another passage that connects to a ruined chamber, where [[Goriya]]s attack Zelda and Spikes fall relentlessly. A Goriya at the end of the chamber drops the [[Key]] to the locked door in the courtyard, which leads to Ganon's tower.

It is a large fortress-like castle in the middle of [[Gamelon]]'s most mountainous area and is considerably run-down and filled with Ganon's hordes of minions. There is a long bridge over a river that connects to the [[Fairy Pool]] and [[Shutoy Lake]]. The bridge is built in [[Nokani Forest]], and it is where [[Princess Zelda]] starts the dungeon. It is also here that Ganon has [[King Harkinian]] locked up.

Inside Ganon's tower, Zelda confronts Ganon with the light of the Fairy Lantern. She defeats him with the [[Wand of Gamelon (Item)|Wand of Gamelon]], imprisoning him inside a book. His defeat drops a Key that opens the bedroom where King Harkinian is being held, located at the very top of the tower. There Zelda frees her father from his cage.
Impa appears in the fortress yard to tell Zelda that she "can only win by falling", hinting that there is a sewer in the castle and Zelda should fall in. An entrance is blocked by a rock and can be destroyed with 10 bombs, which eventually leads to a tower filled with flying enemies and statue heads. Outside the tower, Zelda will be in the castle top yard. In the middle of the yard, a sewer entrance is seen, which is where Zelda should fall in as Impa advised. Inside the sewer there is a small passage that connects into a destroyed room, where spikes fall from the ceiling constantly. After retrieving the key in this room, Zelda must go back to the sewer and enter another passage that leads her back to Reesong Palace's outer area.
 
 
By unlocking the gate found with the key previously collected, Zelda will read Ganon's lair, who will show up afraid of the Fairy Lantern's light. Zelda defeats Ganon with the power of the [[Wand of Gamelon]] and Ganon is imprisoned in the [[Book of Koridai]]. He will also drop a key that is required to free the King. Once the King is freed, the [[Characters in Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon#Royal Retainer|Royal Retainer]] arises with the apprehended [[Characters in Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon#Duke Onkled|Duke Onkled]], who begs for mercy from the King. Lady Alma is also present, who inadvertently frees [[Link]] from being imprisoned in the mirror.

Reesong Palace (pronounced /ˈɹiːsɒŋ/ REE-song)[1] is a location in The Wand of Gamelon.[2] It the game's final stage and is unlocked after completing Shutoy Lake.

Features and Overview

Reesong Palace is a large, fortress-like castle north of Gamelon's mountain range. It was seized by Ganon, leaving it considerably rundown and guarded by hordes of his minions. It is also here that Ganon has King Harkinian imprisoned. The Palace's gateway was locked, whose Key was surrendered to Zelda by Duke Onkled in Dodomai Palace in exchange for her mercy. The Palace is connected to Nokani Forest via a long stone wall that runs along the ravine, where Zelda enters the area. The wall is plagued by invisible enemies that can only be seen by the light of the Fairy Lantern. At the end of the wall is a yard where Impa appears a final time to aid Zelda with the Triforce of Wisdom's guidance. Impa informs Zelda that she can "only win by falling", referring to the well inside the Palace courtyard. A boulder blocking the entrance at the end of the yard can be destroyed with either 10 Bombs or the Power Glove.

The entrance eventually leads to a tower filled with Flying Fish and Stone Statues. One of the Heads drops a Key to the next door after it is defeated. Immediately outside is the Palace's courtyard. A large well in the courtyard's floor sits in its center. At the bottom of the well is a grated window that exits outside the Palace walls. A ladder in the well leads to another passage that connects to a ruined chamber, where Goriyas attack Zelda and Spikes fall relentlessly. A Goriya at the end of the chamber drops the Key to the locked door in the courtyard, which leads to Ganon's tower.

Inside Ganon's tower, Zelda confronts Ganon with the light of the Fairy Lantern. She defeats him with the Wand of Gamelon, imprisoning him inside a book. His defeat drops a Key that opens the bedroom where King Harkinian is being held, located at the very top of the tower. There Zelda frees her father from his cage.
