Circuit breaker or fuse supplying those outlets may be tripped or blown. Wiring from fuse or breaker box may be open. If the outlets are all in the same group, then they are fed from a single set of interior wiring. All may be dead if a single wire is disconnected inside the outlet box. Shut off power, remove the cover plate from the outlet box, put at least one hand in your pocket, and LOOK around inside the outlet box for a disconnected or broken wire.

What would cause a 20A circuit breaker to remain on but have power with only two outlets and nothing anywhere else?
A disconnected or broken wire along the path somewhere. If you have 5 outlets (in a row) on a breaker and the wire breaks at the 3rd outlet, the first two outlets will still work but the others will not. Rodents are known to gnaw on wires and that can cause the break. Or maybe a wire just came loose from a recepticle.
