Zelda Link’s Awakening: How to Get Slime Key

Most of the dungeons in Link’s Awakening requires you to find keys to gain access. If you’re trying to get into the Key Cavern Dungeon in the game, here’s how to get the Slime Key so that you can unlock the Slime Keyhole in Link’s Awakening.

How to Get Slime Key

In Pothole Field, the small area just east of Toronbo Shores, you will find a small house that is owned by a guy named Richard. The Slime Key is actually secretly hidden in the field behind his villa, but you need access first.

By talking to Richard, he’ll task you with going to Kanalet Castle and collecting five golden leaves for him. Doing this is actually pretty easy and once you get back to him, he’ll move a block in his house, letting you use a staircase that will take you back outside.

As soon as you come out of the cave, you’ll see one of those little owl statues. If you examine it, it’ll give you a little hint about where the key is.

Now, just use your shovel to dig right in front of the owl and you will find the Slime Key, which will grant you access to the Key Cavern, which is actually just north of Richard’s Villa.

And that’s all you need to know about how to find the Slime Key in Link’s Awakening. If you’re looking for more info on the Switch game, make sure to check out our ever-expanding wiki guide and our scored review.
