'''Midoro Palace''', also known as the '''Swamp Palace''', is the second dungeon in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'' and is located in the [[Midoro Swamp]]. Inside, [[Link]] discovers the [[Handy Glove]], an item necessary to break stone blocks, and [[Helmethead]], the palace's boss. Upon completion, [[Link]] places one of the six [[Crystal]]s, a necessary step to enter the [[Great Palace]].

The encounter with [[Helmethead]] is similar to that with [[Horsehead]], with its weak point above the shoulders but the former provinces a new challenge: as Link strikes Helmethead, his helmets will at first fall to the floor, then hover above the battle and shoot fireballs, not dissimilar to the battle with [[Gleeok (The Legend of Zelda)|Gleeok]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''.
