The jingle comes from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Nintendo's 1993 adventure for the Game Boy, where a short fanfare plays whenever Link picks up a temporary power-up. Like many classic Zelda sounds, it was ripped from the game and passed around on soundboards and video edits, becoming shorthand for any small victory. Decades later it still shows up in gaming montages and memes because that chiptune sparkle instantly tells viewers something good just happened.
