The above is a hint displayed by the third [[Gossip Stone]] located in the [[Temple of Time]] courtyard. It alludes to the [[Lens of Truth]], which allow Link to see through the chests to snag an easy victory.

The Treasure Chest Game in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' is located in [[Clock Town#East Clock Town|East Clock Town]]. It's open from 6 A.M to 10 P.M. Depending on what form Link takes, he can get so much as a discount for appearing rather attractive ([[Zora]] - Link only pays five rupees!) or have to pay a hefty price for seeming to be ''un''attractive ([[Goron]] - Link has to pay a hefty thirty rupees!). The reward for the game varies upon which form Link takes, with it ranging from a small set of ten [[Deku Nut]]s in the [[Deku Link|Deku]] form to a grandiose [[Piece of Heart]] in the Goron form.

The objective in this peculiar rendition of the Treasure Chest game is to reach the treasure chest like always, however, this task is made especially difficult as the checkered floor rises at key moments, making the flooring much like a maze in structure. With only forty-five seconds to spare, Link has to make the most of his time to receive his reward.

===Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons===
==''Oracle of Seasons'' & ''Oracle of Ages''==
The Treasure Chest Game in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' is located in the basement of the [[Lynna City Shop]].

The game can be accessed in either ''Seasons'' or ''Ages'' only after Link buys every single item from the main shop.


The game is structured as so: the shopkeeper has two treasure chests, one being empty and the other containing a large, red rupee-like gem. If Link successfully guessed the chest that contains the gem three times, the Shopkeeper will ask Link is he'd like to keep the prize or continuing playing. This goes on until Link wins a fifth time, at which point he wins his prize -- a random [[Ring]].
