Treasure Charts mark locations on the Great Sea where sunken treasure chests can be salvaged using the Grappling Hook. A glowing spot appears on the water surface at the correct location when you are nearby. Standard Treasure Charts (1-41 listed here) primarily reward Rupees, though a few yield other charts or even a Piece of Heart. They are distinct from Triforce Charts, Special Charts (like those leading to Great Fairy locations), or the IN-credible Chart (HD version).
