How to beat the Treasure Chest Game in Zelda Ocarina of Time
The Treasure Chest Game in the Ocarina of Time remake offers a Heart Container to players who pick the correct chest in five consecutive rounds. The reward can improve Link’s health early in the game, but a wrong choice ends the run and each attempt costs 10 Rupees.
The shop is on the west side of Hyrule Castle Town and is open only at night. Players can wait for nightfall or rest in a bed in the building with the blue door in the northern alley; the article says it will explain three ways to improve the chances of winning.

Explained simply
The Treasure Chest Game is an optional challenge in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, an action-adventure game in which players guide the hero Link through the kingdom of Hyrule. It takes place in Hyrule Castle Town and involves choosing between chests over a series of rounds.
Link’s health is measured in hearts, and a Heart Container adds to the amount of damage he can withstand. Rupees are the game’s currency, so each attempt has a cost. The challenge is available at night, making the town’s day and night cycle part of reaching it.
