When a large enemy (such as a [[Moblin]] or [[Darknut]]) is defeated in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', occasionally it will leave behind a '''Treasure Sphere''' (instead of [[Rupee]]s 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 [[Recovery Heart|heart]]s, Rupees, [[arrow]]s, [[bomb]]s, along with any [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker#Pick-Up Items|spoils]] appropriate to that enemy (if they hadn't already been stolen with the [[Grappling Hook]]).
==Location and Uses==
Treasure Spheres are glowing glass-like orbs whose colors cycle between green, amber, and red. They are occasionally left behind by defeated enemies such as [[Moblin]]s and [[Darknut]]s instead of other [[spoil]]s. Treasure Spheres are also rarely dropped by lesser enemies like [[Bokoblin]]s and [[ChuChu]]s. They appear with a sharp, resonating ding after an enemy is defeated. Unlike normal pickups, Treasure Spheres do not fade away and disappear as time passes; however, surplus spheres shatter instantly if any more than five of them are onscreen at one time.


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.
When broken, pickups are released, including any combination of [[Rupee]]s, [[Heart]]s, [[Bomb]]s, and [[Arrow]]s; however, they disappear more quickly than usual. [[Spoil]]s appropriate to that enemy can also appear, unless it had already been stolen with the [[Grappling Hook]]. Treasure Spheres yielded from ChuChus contain three [[Chu Jelly|Chu Jellies]].


[[Category:Objects]]
They can also appear while on the [[Great Sea]], in where they float on the water. To break them, [[Link]] must use a ranged weapon from the [[King of Red Lions]], then swim out to gather the contents, or otherwise retrieve them with the [[Boomerang]]. Alternatively, [[Seagull]]s controlled with a [[Hyoi Pear]] can break the sphere and instantly collect the contents in one swoop.
