Think of the most iconic Legend of Zelda dungeons. The Water Temple, Eagle’s Tower, Arbiter’s Grounds. None of these are actually called dungeons!

So when are they actually called dungeons? Here’s what I could find in English:

That’s it—only 8 dungeons have “dungeon” in the name.

There’s more to it than that, of course. Link to the Past uses the word “dungeon” in several places, even if it’s not in the actual name of the location; in some cases, they go unnamed in the game but are named in supplementary material like the Encyclopedia; other languages have different names for various dungeons.
