The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was released by Nintendo for the Wii in 2011, continuing a long series tradition of short musical cues for collected items. The small item jingle is a condensed version of the classic item fanfare, used for minor treasures rather than major story rewards, which kept it light and repeatable in gameplay. As clips from the game circulated on YouTube and soundboards, editors began reusing it as a shorthand for any small discovery, and it remains popular because it instantly reads as a Zelda reward without lasting long enough to interrupt a video.
