Gold Leaves
The prince of a certain country will ask you to find these during your adventure. They are said to be found in a castle. When you have all five Gold Leaves, you can swap them for a dungeon key.

The Golden Leaves belong to Prince Richard. When Link first visits him, he learns that Prince Ricard used to reside in Kanalet Castle until his subjects rebelled and cast him out.[1][2] He asks Link to recover his prized Golden Leaves from the Castle in exchange for a reward.[3] Once Link manages to retrieve all five Leaves, Prince Richard steps aside to allow Link to push a block, which reveals a hidden tunnel that leads to the Pothole Field. There Link can recover Slime Key, allowing him to access Key Cavern.
