Keys, Lots of Keys

a Chamber Dungeon room with the chest that normally has the Roc's Feather, there are 22 keys visible on the HUD

Anybody need a key? Because I got plenty left...

If you're counting them right now, I can save you the trouble: you're looking at 21 Small Keys and one Nightmare Key for a total of 22 keys. And this is certainly a record for any Zelda game.

That's a little Chamber Dungeon experiment I did today, where I was putting together a dungeon with all chambers that have locked doors in a way, where you could avoid them all. Since there are only two chambers with both a locked door and a chest, it's easy to place the chambers with locked doors completely out of the way. Then you fill the rest of the dungeon with treasure chests and get a result like this:

Chamber Dungeon arrangement, there are lots of locked doors on the east half of the dungeon and lots of chests on the west half

It's funny how the keys even mess up the main menu screen, where they go over the text for the L button. Either no one at GREZZO anticipated this or they didn't care, because this is such a corner case. Either way this was fun to do.
