[[File:BotW Small Key Model.png|20x20px]] [[|]] Small Keys, also known simply as Keys, are recurring items in The Legend of Zelda series.

Location and Uses

Small Keys are commonly found inside dungeons, with most being rewarded after completing a puzzle. In The Legend of Zelda, Keys could also be purchased from Merchants and be used in any dungeon. Small Keys are used to open locked doors and Key Blocks. In every game, except for The Legend of Zelda, they can only be used in the dungeon where they are found.[1]

In Link's Awakening and the Template:OoX, the Compass is able to reveal the location of Small Keys, with a tone sounding upon entering a room containing a hidden Key.[2]

In Four Swords Adventures and Tri Force Heroes, Small Keys appear as objects that can be picked up, like Pots or stones. The Links must carry the Key to its keyhole, and will drop it if damaged. If the Key falls into a pit, quicksand, or water, it will reappear in its initial spot. Some enemies, such as Karat Crabs and Key Bandit Poes in Tri Force Heroes, will attempt to take the Key from the Links, in which case they must be defeated, stunned, or otherwise avoided in order to progress.

Breath of the Wild

BotW Small Key Icon

Small Keys appear exclusively in Ancient Shrines in Breath of the Wild. They are made from ancient Sheikah technology and glow with an orange light. While normal objects made from Sheikah technology are composed of non-magnetic materials, Small Keys are made from a metal that can be manipulated with Magnesis.
