Anyone who did a 100% walktthrough of Master Quest should remember this - there are two small keys in the Water Temple, but only one locked door. Second key is useless, but I think that's a design flaw - that key was supposed to be required for Gold Skulltula and I found a door, which should be locked. What do you think about that?

Hmm, that is very interesting. I never actually got to playing the OoT MQ, but one would think Nintendo wound't do something like this. The only Zelda game I've played that had unused keys was LoZ, because you could bomb random spots on walls and avoid a locked door. But it definitely is weird that Nintendo would leave something unpolished like this.

The same thing happens in a links awakening at the end of the 2nd or 3rd doungen i never found out what it was for?

Yeah, I noticed that too. I was always kinda curious about that. And now I know.

Yeah, I got all the gold skulltulas in Master Quest. I loved trying to find them all in the remixed dungeons. It was one of the best challenges in that game.
