Treasure

Treasures are various rare items that can be found in Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks that can be sold or bartered for services.

Phantom Hourglass
In the Phantom Hourglass, there are eight different kinds of treasures scattered across the World of the Ocean King, which can be found in chests in dungeons, pots, or bought from shops. There is no limit to the number of treasures there are: chests in the Temple of the Ocean King will replenish, as will the stock of shopkeepers. These treasures are: These treasures can be sold for Rupees to the Teller of Treasures on Mercay Island, who will buy anything at any time, or to the Ho Ho Tribe, who will buy one random item at a time for a slightly higher price than normal. The price the different treasures sell for varies depending on the game; they can sell for as cheap as 50 Rupees and up to 800 or even 1500 Rupees.

Treasures can be bought in shops, found in dungeons (including the Temple of the Ocean King, where they will replenish every time the dungeon is left and reentered, making a supply of random treasures). In addition, by saving Nyave from monsters in the southwestern part of the Great Sea, Link will receive a large amount of treasures that had been picked up for him.

Treasures may also be swapped among friends for either other treasures or Ship Parts via Tag Mode and Battle Mode. Access to Freedle's magic boxes is required to trade. Doing so takes advantage of the random price differences for players. Lowly valued treasures on one Gamepak may be coveted ones to others.

Spirit Tracks
In Spirit Tracks, treasure-hunting returns with 16 treasures for Link to find. The Pink Coral, Zora Scale, and the Helmaroc Plume are absent from Spirit Tracks, but the other treasures do make an appearance in the game, found most often within pots and chests. At Linebeck III's treasure shop, treasures may be sold for rupees or traded for various upgraded train cars.
