Template:Object The Bound Chest is an object in The Minish Cap.[1]
Story
According to legend, when monsters overran the kingdom of Hyrule,[2] the Minish granted the Picori Blade and Light Force to the Hero of Men,[3] who used them to drive off the monsters.[4] It is later revealed that the Hero actually sealed the evil monsters within the Bound Chest, locking it with the Sword itself.[5] A secret part of the legend, known only to the Royal Family, explains that the Light Force was sealed within the royal line of princesses.[6]
In celebration of the victory, the kingdom helds a yearly festival,[7] which includes a Sword-fighting tournament. The winner of the tournament is allowed to touch the blade still resting inside the Bound Chest.[8] Vaati is declared the winner of the tournament and is shown the Bound Chest. Because the legend did not specify where the Light Force was hidden, Vaati believes that the relic is found within the Bound Chest and shatters the Picori Blade in order to open it. However, the Bound Chest only contained the once-sealed evil, which escapes to plague the world again.[9]
Trivia
- The Bound Chest may be based upon Pandora's box, which was used at the beginning of humanity, in Greek mythology, to seal all the evils of the world until it was opened and they were released.
