I got an extra key in Key Cavern

I'm already in the Nightmare's Lair and I have an extra key in my inventory. I checked the map and every square in it and I couldn't find anything that I may use the key for. Is there a secret place or did I miss something along the way?

How can I get rich quick?

So, I need a bow. Problem is, I am poorer than I would like, by about 300 rupees. How can I get that money quickly and easily? Cutting stuff down and digging takes forever for very little profit. How can I raise the money quickly?

What items will the goriya by the shore accept in exchange for the boomerang?

Hooray! But I had to trade the shovel for it. That's two hundred rupees gone, if the store by the starting village even has one more to sell that is. What else can I give in exchange?

I traded my shovel for the boomerang in links awakening, then I bought another shovel from the store. Long story short, I have too many items and no longer can carry magic powder, so the final boss is now impossible for me to beat. Is there anyway…

What's the point of the bombable caves with golden statues?

This has to be the third or fourth such room in the game. This particular room is deep within an area that can only be reached with the rooster. I imagine that if I can do something here, I probably can only do so here and now. What's the point…
