The {{Term/Store|Treasure Chest Game|Treasure Chest Games|Series, ALttP}} is a recurring minigame in {{TLoZ|Series}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 228 {{Exp Game|ALttP}}}}</ref> They are commonly minigames in which [[Link]] picks from a choice of [[Treasure Chest]]s to win [[Rupee]]s or other items.

{{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:HoronChestGame.png|thumb|The Horon Village Shop Treasure Chest Game in {{OoS|-}}]]

In {{OoS}} and {{OoA}}, Treasure Chest Games can be played in the basements of the [[Lynna City 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.|Lynna City 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!|Lynna City 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.|Lynna City Shopkeeper|OoA}}</ref> Continuing to play more rounds will reward Link with a rarer ring.

[[File:BorlovGame.png|right|thumb|The Chest Mini-Game Shop in {{TMC|-}}]]

In {{TMC}}, the '''Chest Mini-Game Shop''' in [[Hyrule Castle Town#The Minish Cap|Hyrule Town]] will not open until Link receives the [[Ocarina of Wind]]. A man named [[Anton]] stands outside  the shop until it is finally open. The shop is run by [[Borlov]], the younger brother of [[Carlov]]. The game costs 10 Rupees and gives Link the option of opening one of two chests.<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> Once Link pays, Borlov leads him into the back room where the chests are. Getting a green Rupee with a ×2 by it doubles the 10 Rupees Link bets on the game. This doubled number will become his earnings.<ref>{{Cite|Just open whichever chest you like. If you win, then I'll double the amount of your bet.|Borlov|TMC}}</ref> The other chest, however, contains a skull, which ends the game and costs Link all the money he wins. Link can keep playing the game as long as he receives the green Rupee, with each correct guess doubling his Rupees. Borlov will try to convince Link to quit playing until Link wins seven rounds, leading Borlov to force him to quit playing.<ref>{{Cite|Congratulations. Your prize is 320 Rupees. I wouldn't recommend it, but...you can wager you winnings and try again. Think about it. You already got a prize and everything. Don't push your luck.|Borlov|TMC}}</ref><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> Winning the seventh round earns 999 Rupees, the maximum amount of Rupees Link can carry.

If Link fuses [[Kinstone]] pieces with [[Spekter]], Borlov will think of a new business idea. He will then offer a more difficult game with three chests, but the cost of playing is the same. One of the three chests will hold a Red Rupee with ×3 to indicate that it triples Links money. Link can play for a total of five rounds before Borlov ends the game. Again, the maximum amount of Rupees earned is 999.
