Goddess's Treasure Chest

Goddess's Treasure Chests are special Treasure Chests found only on various islands in The Sky in Skyward Sword. Each Goddess's Treasure Chest has its own corresponding Goddess Cube found on The Surface and cannot be opened until its corresponding Goddess Cube has been struck with a Skyward Strike.

Skull Chest

They are usually located on top of a lookout tower towards the centre of the camp, guarded by a combination of Bokoblins, Lizalfos, and Moblins. When found initially, their eyes glow purple and they cannot be opened. To do so, Link must defeat all monsters from the camp at which point a cutscene will show the chest's eyes become yellow and the chest will unlock.

Traps

Some TreasureChests do not contain useful items; they instead contain harmful traps. Link must be wary of these traps, as there is no way to distinguish them from other Chests. Traps first appeared in Link's Awakening, in which certain treasure Chests contain enemies such as Zols. In Ocarina of Time, these traps release an icy breath (like that of a Freezard), that will temporarily freeze Link and sap away his life energy. Treasure Chest Traps return in Four Swords Adventures, where certain Small Chests contain Big Bombs that will instantly kill the Links if they are in range when it explodes. In Phantom Hourglass, some Treasure Chests hold Rupoors.

Treasure Chest Game

Treasure Chests are also used by the inhabitants of the Overworld in a recurring mini-game called the Treasure Chest
