{{Plural|Series|Treasure Chest Game}} are commonly {{Plural|Series|Mini-Game}} in which {{Term|Series|Link|link}} picks from a choice of {{Plural|Series|Treasure Chest|link}} to win {{Plural|Series|Rupee|link}} or other {{Plural|Series|Item|link}}.

==={{ALttP|-}}===

{{ALttP}} 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 [[Thieves|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 Chest]]s 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.<ref>{{Cite|Pay me 20 Rupees and I'll let you open one chest.

[[File:Treasure Chest Game OoT.png|thumb|right|The Treasure Chest Contest in {{OoT|-}}]]

In {{OoT}}, the '''Treasure Chest Contest''' is located in the [[Hyrule Castle Town#Ocarina of Time|Market]]. The shop is only open at night.<ref>{{Cite|Treasure Chest Contest / Temporarily Closed / Open Tonight!|N/A|OoT}}</ref> 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 [[Key|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.<ref>{{Cite|Open the chest and...Surprise! If you find a Key inside, you'll be able to advance. Left or right--try your luck! 10 Rupees to play. Do you want to try it?|Hylian|OoT}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|You got a Door Key! Use this key to continue to the next room. Select a chest and see how lucky you are!|N/A|OoT}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{Cite|They say that it is against the rules to use glasses at the Treasure Chest Shop in Hyrule Castle Town Market.|Gossip Stone|OoT}}</ref>

In {{MM}}, the '''Treasure Chest Shop''' is located in [[East Clock Town]]. The shop is open from 6 AM to 10 PM.<ref>{{Cite|Treasure Chest Shop / 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.|N/A|MM}}</ref> The [[Treasure Chest Shop Gal]] will change the cost and prize of the game depending on what form Link takes ([[Deku Link|Deku]], [[Goron Link|Goron]], [[Zora Link|Zora]], or his own).<ref>{{Cite|What should I do for today's treasure chest prize? ...I know, I'll give a good prize to someone who pays a lot...|Treasure Chest Shop Gal|MM}}</ref> 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 {{OoS}} and {{OoA}}, Treasure Chest Games can be played in the basements of the [[Lynna Item Shop]] in {{OoA}}, and the [[Horon Village Shop]] in {{OoS}}. 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]].<ref>{{Cite|Welcome. One out of two chests will have treasure. You'll get a nice gift if you can open the right chest three times in a row! Each try costs 10 Rupees.|Treasure Chest Shopkeeper|OoA}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{Cite|Jackpot! Congratulations! This is your final chance! If you get this right, you'll get a special gift!|Treasure Chest Shopkeeper|OoA}}</ref> Winning the fifth round wins a Ring and ends the game.<ref>{{Cite|Congratulations! Your gift is a ring, but what kind of ring it is is a secret.|Treasure Chest Shopkeeper|OoA}}</ref> Continuing to play more rounds will reward Link with a rarer ring.

==={{FSA|-}}===

In {{FSA}}, 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 Gem]]s 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.

==={{TMC|-}}===

The {{Term|TMC|Chest Mini-Game Shop}} is run by {{Term|TMC|Borlov|link}} in {{Term|TMC|Hyrule Town|link}}. At first, the {{Term|TMC|Chest Mini-Game Shop}} is closed,<ref>{{Cite|I really wanna play a game, but this place isn’t open yet. I guess I just got here too early...|Anton|TMC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Man! I REALLY want to get in there and play a few {{Color|TMC Blue|games}}... I can’t believe they’re still closed! I’m not going anywhere until they open!|Anton|TMC}}</ref> only opening after {{Term|TMC|Link|link}} defeats {{Term|TMC|Mazaal|link}} and obtains the {{Term|TMC|Ocarina of Wind|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Ahh... He’s finally opened up! I can’t wait to get crackin’!|Anton|TMC}}</ref> Borlov will let {{Term|TMC|Link}} pay 10 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee|link}} to play the {{Term|TMC|Mini-Game|link}} itself,<ref>{{Cite|It's 10 Rupees for one try, if you still want to throw your money away on such a terrible pastime... I would really just save it if I were you...|Borlov|TMC}}</ref> though he attempts to dissuade {{Term|TMC|Link}} from playing at all.<ref>{{Cite|I'm telling you, this gambling nonsense is no good. You're better off without!|Borlov|TMC}}</ref>

 

The {{Term|TMC|Mini-Game}} itself is simple; there are two {{Plural|TMC|Treasure Chest|link}} in the back room, and {{Term|TMC|Link}} must pick one to open. One {{Term|TMC|Treasure Chest}} will double the amount of {{Term|TMC|Link}}'s current bet, while the other will cause him to lose his initial bet and any more {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} he may have won. Opening the incorrect {{Term|TMC|Treasure Chest}} will end the game, but if {{Term|TMC|Link}} opens the correct one, {{Term|TMC|Borlov}} will give him the opportunity to continue betting with his new amount, doubling it with each success. If {{Term|TMC|Link}} reaches a bet of 640 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} and wins (a total of seven successes in a row), {{Term|TMC|Borlov}} will give him the maximum amount of 999 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} and plead with him to leave.<ref>{{Cite|Ahh, I just can't take this! Please, just stop now while you can! Your prize is 999 Rupees. Just take it, and never gamble again!|Borlov|TMC}}</ref>

 

After {{Term|TMC|Link}} {{Term|TMC|Kinstone Fusion|link|display=Fuses}} {{Plural|TMC|Kinstone Piece|link}} with {{Term|TMC|Spekter|link}} in the {{Term|TMC|Royal Valley|link}}, {{Term|TMC|Borlov}} will be inspired to create a separate difficulty of the {{Term|TMC|Mini-Game}}.<ref>{{Cite|Hey! I've just hit on a great idea! This will add a little more risk! Heh heh heh! I'm so excited! I can't wait to get started!|Borlov|TMC}}</ref> When {{Term|TMC|Link}} next enters the {{Term|TMC|Chest Mini-Game Shop}} and speaks to him, he will let {{Term|TMC|Link}} choose between "Level 1: Easy" and "Level 2: Hard".<ref>{{Cite|Level 1 is more than enough to take your money, but if you're feeling particularly self-destructive, we've even got level 2 now, rue the day... Which level would you like to try?|Borlov|TMC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Level 1: Easy  Level 2: Hard|N/A|TMC}}</ref> Level 2 has identical mechanics to Level 1, the only difference being the number of {{Plural|TMC|Treasure Chest}} (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). {{Term|TMC|Borlov}} will give {{Term|TMC|Link}} 999 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} if he reaches a bet of 810 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} and wins (a total of five successes in a row).

 

 

The probability of acquiring 999 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} from Level 2 is <math>\frac{1}{3}^5</math>, or approximately 0.4115%.
