Palace of Darkness

For The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on the Super Nintendo (SNES).

Entrance: Palace of Darkness (Dark World)

What opens it

Ki ki ki! If you give me 100 Rupees, I will open the entrance for you. Ki ki ki! What will you do? ▶ Ask him to open it Try to open it yourself

Ki ki! Good choice! Then I get 100 of your Rupees. Kik ki ki!

Pits

In 3 rooms here (1F, B1), a pit takes one heart from Link in every mail and puts him back at the spot where he came into the room. Pits in the other rooms drop him to the floor below without hurting him.

Spikes

Spike blocks are in one room here (B1). Walking into one takes one heart in every mail and throws Link back. The Magic Cape keeps them from hurting him.

From the official guides

From the Palace of Darkness on, the dungeons themselves start to work like puzzles, and clearing them gets more fun.
