Treasure Chart

The Wind Waker

Treasure Charts in The Wind Waker are blue colored treasure maps that illuminate in a pillar of light a specific spot somewhere in the Great Sea where treasure is hidden underwater. Once Link navigates directly over the spot where the pillar was, he can retrieve the treasure using the Grappling Hook. Usually the treasure inside these hidden treasure chests is large sums of Rupees, but there are other items such as Pieces of Heart. In the entire game, there are 41 Treasure Charts, and each has their own different way for Link to get them. After Link gets a Treasure Chart, it is marked on his Sea Chart and he can look at them whenever he wants to see where the hidden treasure is.

Phantom Hourglass

Treasure Charts are also found in Phantom Hourglass, but they are a little bit different than the ones in The Wind Waker. They are a different color, similar to the Special Charts that Link finds in The Wind Waker. There are 31 charts in this game, and when found in the ocean can be retrieved with the Salvage Arm. The treasures inside of these hidden chests are usually Sand of Hours, parts for Linebeck's ship, or many Rupees.
