Treasure Chest

Treasure Chests are small boxes which have a lid. The boxes differ in colour and garnishment in every game and by what they are holding.

Usage
Chests hold items. They hold almost anything from Rupees to Heart Containers, and most importent: the Quest Items. Apart from that, some chests in OoT actually held traps, such as ice breezes, that would harm Link.

Differences

 * The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: The chest are a simple brown and held [[Image:IMAG0025.JPG|left|thumb|200px|Link beside an opened chest. In this state, it reaches Links shoulders.]]together by iron. There are large and small chests; both look the same, a minor difference is that no jingle is played and no light is shown when a small one is opened. Boss key chests also have a different look. They are blue with yellow decorations on the lid. The same counts for Majora's Mask.


 * The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: In Wind Waker, more colours and shapes have [[Image:IMAG0027.JPG|right|thumb|300px|Link between a Quest item/Sea Chart chest (left) and a Boss key chest (right) in a Beta level.]]been added. Quest Items are no longer held in simple brown boxes, but have very fancy, impressive and slightly dangerous looks (exception: Bottles). These, sometimes, also held Sea Charts. Boss key chests have kept a similier look from Ocarina of Time. There are also now two kinds of simple brown chests. One still has no jingle and light; this one usually only carries items of low value, but they seem to have the same heighth and length. They mainly differ in their appearence in colour and shape (one is more cube-like and darker than the other).


 * The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: There are lots more changes in form and [[Image:314491997_7558ec9349_o.jpg|left|thumb|110px|A Boss key chest from the side.

Other Chests
As said before, some chests contain traps. A few are nearly invisible and need to be materialized with light. Others again might be overgrown by a plant that hast to be defeated to make it possible to open up the chests, or the chest is hanging from the ceiling by some spider webs and needs to be cut of. There are many ways to make it difficult to gather what they're holding.

Apart from chests, there are other things that may hold treasure. Even though these are never key items, they still can be something usefull like an Orange Rupee. These objects may be pots, knight armours, or sometimes treasures are hidden in grass or other flora.
