Ok, so I'm thinking four components make a dungeon.

1). You receive a dungeon map (I think this unequivocally determine if it's a dungeon the most)
2). You receive a new toy (ex: Bow, magic arrow, boomerang, new pair of kicks, etc.)
3). You receive a boss key and fight a boss.
4). You receive a quest item (ie. free a maiden, receive a medallion, precious stone, etc.)

I think each successive item becomes less important in determining dungeon eligibility - but more than two items on the list makes any ambiguous dungeon and official dungeon. All dungeons won't have boss fights - that's ok. All dungeons won't have a quest item at the end - which is fine too. But you usually ALWAYS get a new toy. So, Ganon's Tower has two items (#2 and #3). So maybe we should count after all.  Of course, some dungeons will have all four components and some may just have any two.

Granted, this is all totally arbitrary, but I'm wondering you guys think.
