| '''Keys''' are items found in the [[dungeon]]s of every [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' game]]. They are necessary for advancing through locked doors. Keys can be obtained through a variety of different puzzles. For example, sometimes you may need to defeat all the enemies in a room. Other times you may need to break a hole in the wall with your bombs. In some situations you need to do what you least expect, and that way it will be easier to advance to victory. Once a key is used, it disappears.

| There are roughly three different keys: [[#SmallKeys|Small Keys]] (the most common keys), [[#Boss Keys|Boss Keys]] (big keys that grant access to the dungeon's boss), [[#Dungeon Keys|Dungeon Keys]] (needed to enter their respective dungeons).
| | {{Term/Store|Key|Keys|Series, LA, LADX}} may refer to any of the following: |

| | *'''{{Term|Series|Big Key|link}}''', also known as '''{{Term|OoT3D|Boss Key}}''', a recurring item used to open boss doors. |
| The '''Small Key''' is featured in many Zelda games. It can be found in small chests and by killing enemies, such as [[Rat]]s In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', but could actually be bought in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]''. A Small Key can be used to open [[Locked Door|locked doors]] that have chains around them<ref>{{cite|You found a Small Key! This key will open a locked door. You can use it only in this dungeon.|Ocarina of Time}}</ref> and [[Lock#Key Block|key blocks]]. In every Zelda game, except ''The Legend of Zelda'', they can only be used in the dungeon where they're found.
| | *'''[[Dungeon Key]]s''', items used to enter different dungeons in {{LA}}, {{OoS}}, and {{OoA}}. |
| | | **'''[[Angler Key]]''' |
| In some games, having the [[compass]] will alert you to a hidden key in a room. The alert is a tone sounded upon entering the room<ref>{{cite|You've got the Compass! Now, you can see where the chests and Nightmare are hidden! This Compass has a new feature — a tone will tell you if a key is hidden in a room when you enter!|N/A|Link's Awakening}}</ref>.

| The '''Boss Key''' is one of the three standard dungeon items, the other two being the [[Compass]] and the [[Dungeon Map]]. Alternatively, it is also called '''Big Key'''.<ref>{{cite|You got the Big Key! This is the master key of the dungeon. It can open many locks that small keys cannot.|N/A|A Link to the Past}}).</ref> It is known as the '''Nightmare Key'''<ref>{{cite|Eh? It's locked! You can open the door with the Nightmare Key.|N/A|Link's Awakening}}.</ref> in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. It is generally used to open the big door leading to the boss' chamber. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', the Boss Keys also are necessary to open the treasure chests containing a dungeon's special item. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', the Boss Key from the [[Goron Mines]] had to be put together by obtaining the three '''Key Shards''' from the [[Goron]] Elders; in the [[Snowpeak Ruins]], the Big Key is replaced by the '''Bedroom Key''', as said dungeon is actually a mansion. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'', Link must carry the Big Key in his hands rather than inventory. In certain instances in ''Spirit Tracks'', the key is electrified and Link must have his [[Phantom]] partner carry it for him.
