With the Hammer in hand, you can now access Eastern Hyrule. Head back south from Death Mountain and look for boulders blocking a path to the east. Use the Hammer to smash these obstacles. This new region introduces more challenging overworld enemies and a new set of towns and palaces. Your immediate goal is to find the town of Mido and then proceed to the Island Palace, which houses the third crystal. The Island Palace is often located on an island, requiring you to navigate a bridge or a specific path to reach it. This palace will introduce even tougher enemies, such as the Orange Iron Knuckles, which are faster and more aggressive than their red counterparts. The Jump and Shield spells will be essential for survival. Explore thoroughly to find the palace's secrets and prepare for another formidable boss.
