A '''Boss Key''' is a large, single-use [[key]] found in most [[dungeon]]s, usually in a [[Treasure Chest]]. As their name suggests, Boss Keys are used to unlock the boss door in a certain dungeon. They appear in nearly every game of ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series and first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', which calls them '''Nightmare Keys'''. Boss Keys are very similar to [[Big Key]]s, which can also unlock a large Treasure Chest unlike Boss Keys.
A '''Boss Key''' is a large, single-use [[Small Key|key]] found in most [[dungeon]]s, usually in a [[Treasure Chest]]. As their name suggests, Boss Keys are used to unlock the boss door in a certain dungeon. They appear in nearly every game of ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series and first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', where they are known as '''Nightmare Keys'''. Boss Keys are very similar to [[Big Key]]s, which can also unlock a large Treasure Chest unlike Boss Keys. Boss Keys usually have a skull motif.
 
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'', Boss Keys are known as '''Big Keys''' in the English version and as such are functionally identical to the ones in the [[Nintendo 64]] games in that they are found in a large, ornate chest and open a doorway straight to the boss. They use a purple, horned eye design that is used for Boss Keys in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks]]''.
