Some treasure chests inTears of the Kingdomrequire a little more effort to uncover,like the chests buried in the ground. But there’s one many players might have missed that was brought to theTears of the Kingdomcommunity’s attention by a player who goes by Middleman86 on Reddit. In a post, Middleman86 explained that if players light the touches in the castle library, a chest will appear at the top of a staircase. The chest holds a gold rupee, which is worth 300 rupees.
Middleman86’s post was seen by another member of the subreddit named davidmullings, who decided to test out the claim. Davidmullings recorded their attempt and reveled that there was indeed a secret chest in the castle library holding the most valuable rupee in the game. The video shows davidmullings maneuvering Link around the library, firing offfused flaming arrowsat the torches positioned along the two staircases on either end of the library. Once the torches are lit, a chest rises from a patch of dirt on the floor at the top of one of the staircases. It’s no rupee farm, but the chest does hold a gold rupee worth 300 rupees.
Several members of theTears of the Kingdomsubreddit were surprised to see that the chest was hiding in a spot they’d visited more than a few times. Others couldn’t help but laugh at the fact that after the chest was so cleverly hidden away behind a puzzle few knew even existed, all it contained was a gold rupee and not, as some in the subreddit suggested, a strong shield ora powerful sword.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomis now available for Nintendo Switch.
