Dungeon order
Original route; remake differences on dedicated pages 7 listed sources
The story still runs child dungeons, then the Master Sword, then the temples. This is the order, not a room-by-room transcript.

Where people get stuck
Missing small keys are the Water Temple and Forest Temple complaints. Boss keys hide behind the Forest eyes, the Shadow fire wall, and the Spirit mirror puzzle. The Shadow boat wants Zelda's Lullaby. Fire Temple's upper floors want the hammer. Dark Link sits in the Water Temple. If the remake moved a single chest, the four temple pages call that out; the other dungeons stay on this table until a second source maps a layout change.
Questions
Do I have to do Fire Temple before Water?
The medallion temples can be approached in more than one order after the bow. The table is the common route, not a lock.
Is this a full script?
No. It is an index so you can see which dungeon you are in.
