The following section is not part of the Zelda canon and should not be taken as such.


Trick Chests are Treasure Chests that wait for adventurers to approach before extorting them for Rupees in exchange for their contents.[3] If Tingle attempts to open a Trick Chest, it will force him into a Negotiation, forcing Tingle to guess the necessary amount of Rupees to open it. Offering a number lower than the minimum will cause Tingle to lose those Rupees in the Negotiation.[4] Trick Chests will not allow Tingle to leave a Negotiation unless he offers the appropriate amount or his Rupee count falls to one.[5][6][7] It is possible to enter a Negotiation without the requisite amount of Rupees, trapping him into losing nearly all of his Rupee-based Life Gauge. However, if Tingle speaks to a Trick Chest while down to his last Rupee, it will refuse to speak to him.[8] By offering the necessary amount of Rupees to Trick Chests, they will happily open and yield their contents to Tingle.[9]

A Trick Chest appears in the Underground Level 2 of Hero's Shrine. By paying 50 Rupees, Tingle can convince it to open up, giving him 200 Rupees in return.
