You have a point, but some Quests are made to REQUIRE the Magic Key to beat the game, i.e. less keys then there are doors in the Quest. I dunno if Origin is like this, since I'm still stuck on Level 6 'cause those Blue Wizzrobes keep killing me. Once I can afford it, I'm taking a Lv2 Potion and full hearts into the dungeon with me, and I'll also need to raise the money for a new shield to replace the one that damn Like Like ate...
I think the Magical Key is optional in the 1st quest, even though I got it. I think there was enough keys for Level-9: The Skull. I know in Level-9: Ganon in the Second quest, there was enough keys to get the Red Mail, Silver Arrows and the Boss Key.
The Blue Wizzrobes were annoying, I'll grant you that. It takes a lot of luck and skills to destroy them, unharmed.

I really wanted to have the Level 3 Sword before I tackled Level 6 again... I only need like 2 or 3 more Heart Pieces to get it.

I can't seem to beat the Arrow Mini-Game, and I'm scared to try the Wand Mini-Game 'cause I'm not sure if I can beat it without the Magic Upgrade (wherever it is) or not... I could probably beat the Boomerang Game if I could just FIND it... >_<
I think DFW didn't want us to get the L-3 Sword until after beating Level-6. She might wanted to test our limits in that dungeon.

Anyone know what the deuce is with those various caves on the Overworld that have enemies in them but NOTHING else? I search those ones all over with and without the Lens of Truth and get nothing except a smaller Magic Meter from the Lens usage. This is just a guess, but... would that be Origin's answer to "Pay me for the door repair charge"?
The enemies in the caves and nothing else? Yes, that's Origin's version of the Door Repair charge room.
