Palace 3 map

From the official guides

When Link wanders around just south of the King's Tomb, he'll fall into a Pit that leads to the Island Palace. The first Key he sees is trapped under stones, but that's no problem for Link. Using the Glove with Downthrust, he can easily break through and grab the Key. Although the Palace seems easy at first, its guardian is a force to fear.

Nintendo Player's Guide: NES Game Atlas (Nintendo of America, 1991), p. 68

The Island Palace was built with fewer twists and turns, but a powerful enemy waits within. Link shrewdly uses Jump and Shield magic to work his way through.

Nintendo Power, January/February 1989 (Nintendo of America, 1989), p. 30

Palace 3 has a surprisingly simple map. But the enemies that appear here are all quite tough. Never let your guard down!

リンクの冒険 (実業之日本社, 1987), p. 74, 101Leafy's translation

The enemies are no harder than in the Midoro Swamp palace, but the layout is nasty. Floors made only of breakable blocks, keys buried deep in blocks, and other places that give you trouble everywhere.
