Sunken Treasure
Sunken Treasures are recurring Items in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2][3]
Location and Uses
The Wind Waker
Sunken Treasures are contained in Sunken Chests on the Great Sea floor. Link can use the Grappling Hook near a Ring of Light to haul up a Sunken Treasure while aboard the King of Red Lions.[4][5]
Common Sunken Treasures can be found using the Light Ring Chart. These Sunken Chests contain Red Rupees and Purple Rupees. They respawn every full moon.[verification needed]
Unique, non-respawning Sunken Treasures can be found by using Charts (namely Treasure Charts and Triforce Charts) or by killing Big Octos. There are 54 such Sunken Treasures in total.[note 1]
Phantom Hourglass
After completing the Temple of Wind, Link buys the Salvage Arm from Eddo to retrieve the Sun Key from the ocean floor. Afterwards, Link can pull up Sunken Treasures after defeating Pirate Ships.[clarification needed]

- 5 Sands of Hours worth 1 minute each
- 23 Ship Parts[clarification needed]
- 2 Treasures[clarification needed] (Treasure Map #6 and Treasure Map #28)

Notes
- ↑ In The Wind Waker HD, 5 Triforce Charts were removed—the corresponding Triforce Shards are found directly in the Treasure Chests which previously contained the Triforce Charts. 5 regular Treasure Charts were added to the game, keeping the total count of Sunken Treasures at 54. The HD-exclusive Treasure Chart 46 leads to a Piece of Heart that was previously located in a Treasure Chest at the bottom of the Savage Labyrinth. In The Wind Waker HD this Treasure Chest contains the Hero's Charm instead.
