If you think the life-sized treasure chest is too big or expensive, check out ThinkGeek’s tiny version. It measures just 4″ wide, 4.5″ tall and 3″ deep. But what it lacks in size it makes up for in fanfare. It lights up and emits a chiptune tone when opened.
These images should give you an idea of how small it is:
Here’s a quick video demo of the chest:

You can buy an unofficial life-sized replica of the treasure chests from The Legend of Zelda. It turns out there’s also an official replica of said treasure chest, except it fits in the palm of your hand. The musical treasure chest will be included in the collector’s edition of the upcoming Nintendo 3DS game The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.
The treasure chest can store up to five 3DS cartridges.
It emits the classic melodic fanfare when you open it, as demonstrated by The Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma and Nintendo President Satoru Iwata in the Vine video below (be sure to turn on the sound)…
I’m not sure if the collector’s edition will be released globally, but it’s available for pre-order in the UK via Game, in Spain via Game as well and in Australia via EBGames. Aside from the chest, the limited edition bundle will also come with a poster and a Nintendo eShop download code for the Game Boy classic The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening.

The Zelda games have some pretty cool treasure chests and if you want one for yourself, you don’t need to plunder a dungeon or defeat a boss to get one. This neat musical life-sized treasure chest based on the ones in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask should fill the bill.
It comes from Etsy seller BygonesandPowerUps, who clearly knows her way around a dungeon. This chest is made of wood and stained in pine. It is about 5.75 inches deep when opened, not including the domed lid.
As an added bonus, when you open this one you hear the chest-opening fanfare sound from Zelda: A Link to the Past:
The life-sized Zelda treasure chest will cost you $150(USD) – I wonder how much that works out to in Rupees.
Gearbox Software recently announced its Borderlands 2 will be receiving an update that increases the game’s level cap, will introduce a new vault hunter as well as a new mode called “Vault Hunter’s Mode.” But if you consider yourself a true vault hunter, then you might want to check out this real-world limited edition Borderlands 2 diamond-plate loot chest.
The loot chest offers a combination of in-game and real-life loot that any vault hunter would love to get their hands on.
The main selling point of this chest would certainly be the chest itself, but considering there are some really great additional items in there, as well as a number of SHiFT codes that will equip your characters with legendary items, then its $99.99 price point doesn’t sound so terrible. Also, it’s being sold by ThinkGeek, which you know means it’s most likely a quality product.

The Ultimate Loot Chest pre-order bundle for Borderlands 2 has become a sought after items among fans of the franchise because of the titular container. The remaining units of the bundle are selling for way higher than its original price of $150. Luckily for fans Gearbox has stepped in with another bundle that includes a loot chest.
The new Borderlands 2 Diamond Plate Loot Chest doesn’t come with a copy of the game, but it makes up for it with a ton of other goodies, including a replica of the Goliath mask, a code for an in-game Goliath head so your characters can match your new gear, 20 cards with codes for Legendary items, four Wanted posters featuring the playable characters, window decals featuring the weapon manufacturers and of course the sweet loot chest itself.
The bundle will be sold at ThinkGeek, at the Gearbox shop and at Forbidden Planet for $100 (USD) starting June 2013. It’s limited to just 5,000 copies so make sure to keep an eye out for it if you want one. It would’ve been more considerate of Gearbox if they just mass produced the loot chest, but I guess this is better than nothing. As Travis B mentioned in the comments, Gearbox will mass produce this bundle. The only thing that’s unique to the first 5,000 units will be the certificate of authenticity. Thanks for the heads up Travis B!
