At a glance, a compass resembles a normal, relatively modern compass capable of fitting in one's palm. Its needle normally points north. In addition to functioning like a normal compass, however, it has an additional effect.
The needle on the compass can occasionally locate certain other objects, depending upon the compass holder's personality and her strongest desires of the moment. If she has an overwhelming urge to battle a powerful creature, for instance, the compass will direct her to such a creature. By contrast, a user filled with avarice may be directed to a chest filled with rupees. Regardless, this particular effect of the compass can only be used through sheer concentration of that desire, and cannot locate anything beyond a distance of half a mile (or about 0.75 kilometers). This effect is not reliable, however, as some objects simply cannot be located by it. Similarly, the compass may temporarily cease functioning if used in this way repeatedly.
The Compass treasure canonically appears in the Zelda series, initially in The Legend of Zelda. More information about the canonical version of this treasure can likely be found on Zelda Wiki.
