The sound comes from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, released by Nintendo in 2017 for Nintendo Switch and Wii U. In the game, it plays whenever Link obtains an item from a chest, rewarding exploration across Hyrule's open world. As clips from the game spread on video platforms and soundboards, the short fanfare became a shorthand for finding something valuable or unexpected. It remains popular because the melody is immediately familiar to players and instantly signals a reward, even to viewers who have never played the game.
