Treasure Sphere

A Treasure Sphere is an object in The Wind Waker. When a large enemy such as a Moblin or Darknut is defeated, occasionally it will leave behind a Treasure Sphere instead of Rupees or hearts. These glowing glass-like orbs change color, cycling from green to amber to red, then back to green. When broken, a shower of treasure is released, such as hearts, Rupees, arrows, bombs, along with any spoils appropriate to that enemy if they hadn't already been stolen with the Grappling Hook prior to their defeat. A Moblin will give a Skull Necklace, a Darknut will give a Knight's Crest, and Bokoblins will leave behind Joy Pendants.

Unlike normal items, Treasure Spheres do not fade if they are not obtained immediately; thus, they can be left alone and be used later to obtain the items within.
