Open the treasure chest and it plays a sound. That's not a metaphor. The Zelda Musou Treasure Box on Wii U includes a treasure chest accessory case that produces the iconic chest-opening sound effect, and if you just felt something in your chest, you're exactly who this was made for.

Zelda Musou, known as Hyrule Warriors in the West, merged the Dynasty Warriors formula with the Legend of Zelda universe and somehow made it work beautifully. The Treasure Box edition is the premium Japanese release, and it's stacked with extras that celebrate Hyrule's legacy across every angle.

The Tri-Force table clock is a display piece that earns permanent desk real estate. A functional clock built around the most recognizable symbol in gaming history, it bridges the gap between collectible and daily-use item in a way that few pack-ins manage.

The official artbook collection documents the visual work of merging two wildly different franchises. Seeing how Omega Force adapted Zelda's characters and worlds into the musou format provides genuine insight into a creative collaboration that could have gone very wrong but went very right.

Eight costume sets span the "Courage," "Wisdom," and "Power" collections, covering the Triforce's three pillars across multiple characters. Link's scarf adds a wearable, in-universe accessory to the mix. These are digital extras that gave early adopters exclusive character customization that reinforced the Zelda identity throughout gameplay.

And then there's that treasure chest. As an accessory case, it's functional. As a sound-producing replica of one of gaming's most Pavlovian audio cues, it's an emotional trigger disguised as a storage box. The Zelda Musou Treasure Box is the kind of Japanese exclusive that Western collectors hunt for with good reason. Every piece connects back to Hyrule, and that chest ties it all together with a sound you've been trained to love since childhood.
