On encountering it, that balcony was a reward for all the perils and difficulties the player had to face to get there. Out of the dungeon, to see the night sky! I could really empathize with the protagonist at that scene. You know, eleven years later, these memories are still vivid in my head, of when I first played Prince of Persia. That's quite an accomplishment in game design! This game really is an adventure. There was magic created that day.
