Treasure Chests, also known as Chests and sometimes formatted as treasure chests, are objects that contain either a common or a unique item. Since their debut in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Treasure Chests have appeared in every The Legend of Zelda game. Treasure Chests are found in various areas, ranging from dungeons, inside of houses, and on the overworld. Treasure Chests are featured in various sizes, with the larger ones usually containing a unique item while smaller ones have a common item.

They usually have a consistent role in every game they appear in, although their appearance usually changes drastically per game. Most Treasure Chests are made of wood and have a metal frame. Some Treasure Chests in a dungeon can only be opened if Link has a Big Key, and these usually contain a unique item.

In some games, Link can use the Hookshot to latch onto a side of the Treasure Chest. Link is sometimes required to do this to travel across gaps.

In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, when out on the Great Sea, Link can attach the Grappling Hook to the King of Red Lions to salvage sunken Treasure Chests. He is required to salvage the Treasure Chests containing a Triforce Shard, whose locations are revealed by the Triforce Charts.
