The Boss Key from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' has the one and only use of opening the door to the boss chamber. However, the Boss Key in this game has a little twist; Link cannot store the Key in his tunic, but instead has to carry it from where he found it to the boss door. This means that he cannot use his sword while walking.

The Boss Key has the same role as it did in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''. In some dungeons, [[Key Master]]s try to steal the Boss Key from Link and return it to its original position. Link also encounters Boss Keys that are electrified, and thus must be carried by Phantom Zelda instead, as they will harm Link.
