Cave state refers to sneaking the dungeon ID $040C for caves 0xFF into ares of the underworld that are part of dungeons. There is a second cave state, 0xFD, obtained by using the throne room door while in the standard cave state.

Effects

Small keys

Every time Link enters a cave, the address that holds his current key count $00F36F will be set to -1, meaning "Don't show keys". In hexadecimal, this is 0xFF, or 255 as an unsigned value. Doors only check for 0 small keys, meaning that the dummy value of 0xFF will behave as 255 keys.

Big keys

When attempting to open a big chest or big key door or lock, the game's check will allow for one of several dungeon's big keys to pass.

Mirror usage

The mirror cannot be used in the standard cave state, but it can be used in the throne roomed cave state. Doing so will return Link to the original entrance he came in, as if it were a dungeon.
