The Mermaid Key is an item in Oracle of Ages.[1] It is the key to Mermaid's Cave and exists in both time periods, as the Old Mermaid Key for the present and simply the Mermaid Key for the past. Both keys are obtained in a similar fashion.

Location and Uses

The Mermaid Key is also obtained through a side-quest. Where the Target Carts mini-game is in the present, in the past there is the Goron Shooting Gallery, much like the shooting gallery in Lynna Village.[2] If Link achieves a score of 100 points or more, he will receive the Lava Juice as a prize.[3] Next, in a cave near the summit of Rolling Ridge, Link will meet a Goron who happens to be an acquaintance of the Graceful Goron.[4] If Link already has the old version of the key, the Goron will tell him that it is the Graceful Goron who owns the Mermaid Key. In exchange for the Lava Juice, the Goron will offer to introduce Link to the Graceful Goron with the Letter of Introduction.[5] Once it is shown to the Graceful Goron in the past, he will agree to give Link the Mermaid Key, but only if Link proves himself by matching his skills in a dancing contest. Once this is done, Link will be the proud owner of both Mermaid Keys, leaving Mermaid's Cave waiting for him.
