Where is the Old House Key?

The Old House Key is located in the starting area, south of the windmill, where you’ll pass the Old House, go down some stairs past a shop and fountain, down some more stairs, and find a large green enemy standing on the key to the right of those stairs, which can be killed with bombs to obtain the key. To get to the Old House, simply head east on the map from the Old House until you find a set of stairs leading to a lower level, then follow the path to find another set of stairs that will lead you towards the beach, where you’ll see a Rudeling and an Envoy, and most importantly, the key to the Old House.
