The rupee collect chime comes from Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series, where rupees are the green, blue and red gems Link collects as currency. The bright sound has accompanied treasure pickups across many Zelda games, making it one of the most recognisable reward sounds in gaming. As Zelda clips, speedruns and gameplay edits spread online, creators began using the chime outside the games to signal a win, a find or a joke payoff. Its short length and instant nostalgia keep it useful for short-form video.
