Overview
NaN Treasure Chest Games are commonly NaN Mini-Games in which Series: picks from a choice of NaN Treasure Chests to win NaN Rupees or other NaN Items.

has three places where the game can be played. One is on the south end of Kakariko Village (run by the Treasure Chest Game Keeper), another on the north end of the Lost Woods (run by a Forest Thief), and a third in the Village of Outcasts (run by a Dark World Shopkeeper). Each game differs in prices and winnings. While the other two allow Link a pick of only one out of three Treasure Chests per game, the Village of Outcasts has sixteen chests with a choice of two chests per game, and a Piece of Heart among its prizes.

In, the Treasure Chest Contest is located in the Market. The shop is only open at night. For 10 Rupees, Link can play. The object of this game is to decide between two chests in each of the first five rooms. One chest will hold a set amount of Rupees, while the other will contain a Door Key. Receiving the Door Key will allow Link to enter the next room through a locked door, but earning the Rupee prize prevents him from going any farther. The sixth room at the end of the game has only one chest, with a Piece of Heart inside, unless Link has already taken the prize before, in which case it is a Purple Rupee instead.

According to a Gossip Stone, it is against the rules to use glasses in this contest. This gossip actually gives a vague hint that Link can use the Lens of Truth to ensure victory, as it allows him to see the contents of each chest before he even opens it.

In, the Treasure Chest Shop is located in East Clock Town. The shop is open from 6 AM to 10 PM. The Treasure Chest Shop Gal will change the cost and prize of the game depending on what form Link takes (Deku, Goron, Zora, or his own). To win this game, Link must navigate across a black and white checkered floor to reach a chest on the opposite end of the building within a 45 second time limit. The catch is that the square segments of the floor will rise when Link is in close range of them. In this way, the black and white floor becomes a maze-like obstacle, and Link must move around the rising walls and guess which way to go to reach his goal. Because there is only a 45 second time limit, Link often must head in the correct general direction the first time; needing to turn back will cost precious time. When playing the game as a Goron, a Piece of Heart can found in the chest.

In and, Treasure Chest Games can be played in the basements of the Lynna Item Shop in , and the Horon Village Shop in. The basements only open once Link purchases all of the items. For 10 Rupees, the shopkeeper will grant Link a choice between two chests. One of the two chests will have a large, red Rupee-like gem in it, the other will be empty. Link must guess the chest with the gem in it three times to win a prize, which is always a Magic Ring. The shopkeeper will ask after the third correct guess if Link wants to keep playing. Saying "OK" will continue the game. Saying "No thanks" will earn him the offered Ring. Going another round and guessing correctly will give Link yet another choice of a prize or ending the game. Winning the fifth round wins a Ring and ends the game. Continuing to play more rounds will reward Link with a rarer ring.

In, the Links can gamble in two Treasure Chest Games. The first is in the Village of the Blue Maiden, in a home in the Dark World. In this house, Link must risk 100 Force Gems to pick between three chests, some of which hold less Force Gems, or significantly more than Link originally bet. The chests can contain a large purple Force Gem (300), a blue Force Gem (100) Rupees, or 1 single Force Gem.

A second Treasure Chest Game run by a Zuna can be found in the Desert of Doubt. The risks and rewards are unchanged.

The TMC: is run by TMC: in TMC:. At first, the TMC: is closed, only opening after TMC: defeats TMC: and obtains the TMC:. Borlov will let TMC: pay 10 NaN Rupees to play the TMC: itself, though he attempts to dissuade TMC: from playing at all.

The TMC: itself is simple; there are two NaN Treasure Chests in the back room, and TMC: must pick one to open. One TMC: will double the amount of TMC:'s current bet, while the other will cause him to lose his initial bet and any more NaN Rupees he may have won. Opening the incorrect TMC: will end the game, but if TMC: opens the correct one, TMC: will give him the opportunity to continue betting with his new amount, doubling it with each success. If TMC: reaches a bet of 640 NaN Rupees and wins (a total of seven successes in a row), TMC: will give him the maximum amount of 999 NaN Rupees and plead with him to leave.

After TMC: TMC: NaN Kinstone Pieces with TMC: in the TMC:, TMC: will be inspired to create a separate difficulty of the TMC:. When TMC: next enters the TMC: and speaks to him, he will let TMC: choose between "Level 1: Easy" and "Level 2: Hard". Level 2 has identical mechanics to Level 1, the only difference being the number of NaN Treasure Chests (increased from two to three) and the factor placed on a winning bet (a success in Level 2 triples the bet, as opposed to a success in Level 1, which doubles the bet). TMC: will give TMC: 999 NaN Rupees if he reaches a bet of 810 NaN Rupees and wins (a total of five successes in a row).

The probability of acquiring 999 NaN Rupees from Level 1 is $$\frac{1}{2}^7$$, or approximately 0.7813%.

The probability of acquiring 999 NaN Rupees from Level 2 is $$\frac{1}{3}^5$$, or approximately 0.4115%.

In, Fortune's Choice is a game that appears in both Kakariko Village and ALBW:. In Kakariko Village, Link can open one of three chests, while in Thieves' Town, he can open three of the fifteen chests. The prizes for opening the chests can range from varying amount of Rupees or Treasures. In Thieves' Town's game, it is possible to earn a Piece of Heart.

In, Daily Riches is a shop and a game that appears in the town of Hytopia. Link can open one of four treasure chests for free once per day, of which one of them contains a random, pre-selected piece of Material. A losing chest will always result in a Freebie Material, which is exclusive to the shop. If Link plays for every consecutive day after losing, he will have a greater chance of finding the Material prize, with there being less chests to open.

BotW: can gamble at the BotW:, which is located in the BotW: BotW: in BotW:. It is a BotW: of luck that can be played by BotW: when he talks to BotW:, either by talking to him directly or opening one of his NaN Treasure Chests without talking to him first. In the BotW:, BotW: must bet a certain amount of NaN Rupees and choose one of three NaN Treasure Chests for a chance to win more. Only one BotW: will contain more NaN Rupees than what he originally bet, and the other two will only contain a single BotW:. If BotW: bets at least ten NaN Rupees, he will have a chance to win a BotW:; betting at least 50 NaN Rupees will give him a chance to win a BotW:; betting the maximum 100 NaN Rupees will give him a chance to win a BotW:. If BotW: tries to leave the house after betting NaN Rupees without opening one of the NaN Treasure Chests, BotW: will stop him from leaving and call him back inside.
