The sound comes from Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series, first released in 1986, where opening a treasure chest triggers a distinct item-get fanfare composed in the style of Koji Kondo's early game music. The jingle has been remixed and reused across almost every mainline Zelda title, from Ocarina of Time to Breath of the Wild, keeping the same dramatic build and reveal. Online, gamers ripped the effect for videos and soundboards, and it spread beyond Zelda fans as a shorthand for any satisfying unlock or discovery.
