Items and Materials

Materials are sorted into eight food and crafting groups, plus monster parts and trophies. Most are hand-in items for quests, and many can also be supplied to a camp for a battle bonus. The table shows how many of each there are and a few typical examples.

A handful of materials cannot be used in food or quests and exist only to be supplied to a camp: Palm Fruit, Stamella Shroom, Hearty Radish, Muddle Bud, Raw Meat, Sneaky River Snail, Electric Darner and Amber. Several seasonings boost specific food types when supplied alongside them: Flint (fish and ores), Oil Jar (fruit and mushrooms), Dark Clump (insects and ores), Rock Salt (fish and meat) and Monster Extract (insects, vegetables and herbs). Goron Spice boosts the camp effect in general. Camps and Shops explains the supply slots.

Apple, Golden Apple, Hylian Tomato, Wildberry, Palm Fruit, Brightbloom Seed, Giant Brightbloom Seed, Fleet-Lotus Seeds, Mighty Bananas, Spicy Pepper, Hydromelon, Voltfruit, Fire Fruit, Ice Fruit, Splash Fruit, Shock Fruit and Dazzlefruit. Golden Apples are rare. Wildberries grow in cold regions, Hydromelon and Voltfruit in the Gerudo Desert, Mighty Bananas in Faron, and the Brightbloom Seeds in caves and underground, so cave and Depths stages are where to farm them.

Hylian Shroom, Skyshroom, Hearty Truffle, Big Hearty Truffle, Stamella Shroom, Endura Shroom, Brightcap, Silent Shroom, Rushroom, Razorshroom, Ironshroom, Sunshroom, Chillshroom, Zapshroom and Puffshroom. Hearty Truffles are rare, and Big Hearty Truffles are the oversized version. Chillshroom turns up in cold regions and Zapshroom in the desert.

Raw Meat, Raw Bird Drumstick, Raw Prime Meat, Raw Bird Thigh, Raw Gourmet Meat and Raw Whole Bird. Prime Meat and Gourmet Meat are the valuable cuts. The Goronbi Lake Supply Depot sells the whole range, including Raw Gourmet Meat and Raw Whole Bird (stock 2 each at 280 Rupees).

Flint, Wood, Hylian Pine Cone, Bird Egg, Courser Bee Honey, Fresh Milk, Goat Butter, Oil Jar, Dark Clump, Goron Spice, Rock Salt, Monster Extract, Zonaite and Large Zonaite. Zonaite is the mineral whose stored energy is refined into weapons and armour, and Large Zonaite is a purer version with much higher output. Large Zonaite also appears as a first-clear reward in several battles.

Hyrule Bass, Sanke Carp, Hyrule Arowana, Hearty Bass, Hearty Salmon, Staminoka Bass, Bright-Eyed Crab, Glowing Cave Fish, Stealthfin Trout, Sneaky River Snail, Mighty Carp, Mighty Porgy, Razorclaw Crab, Armored Carp, Armored Porgy, Ironshell Crab, Sizzlefin Trout, Chillfin Trout and Voltfin Trout. Glowing Cave Fish are a cave catch.

Hearty Lizard, Restless Cricket, Energetic Rhino Beetle, Tireless Frog, Deep Firefly, Sticky Frog, Sticky Lizard, Sunset Firefly, Hot-Footed Frog, Hightail Lizard, Bladed Rhino Beetle, Rugged Rhino Beetle, Smotherwing Butterfly, Fireproof Lizard, Summerwing Butterfly, Warm Darner, Winterwing Butterfly, Cold Darner, Thunderwing Butterfly and Electric Darner. Fireproof Lizards are found only in the Eldin region.

Amber, Luminous Stone, Ruby, Sapphire, Opal, Topaz and Diamond. Diamond is the rarest. The Gerudo Supply Depot sells Amber (5 for 240 Rupees each), Sapphire (5 at 600) and one Diamond per restock for 2,000 Rupees, and Diamonds also turn up as battle rewards.

Defeated monsters drop parts that quests and the Tusk & Talon use. The list runs to well over a hundred entries, built from families such as Chuchu Jelly (plain, Red, White, Yellow), Keese Wings and Eyeballs (including Fire, Ice and Electric), Octorok Eyeballs, Tentacles and Octo Balloons, Aerocuda Wings and Eyeballs, Gibdo Wings, Bones and Guts, the horns, fangs, tails and guts of Bokoblins, Lizalfos, Moblins and Horriblins, Construct horns and cores, Stone Talus and Lynel parts, Hinox parts, and Molduga Fins, Jaws and Guts. The Frox family has six: Frox Fingernail, Frox Fang, Frox Guts, Obsidian Frox Fang, Blue-White Frox Fang and Vicious Frox Fang. Elemental variants drop from the matching elemental enemies, so farm a Fire Lynel for fire parts and so on.

Trophies are earned by defeating enemies in bulk and are the most common hand-in for quests, often in stacks of 100 or more. There are 20: Chuchu, Keese, Octorok, Aerocuda, Gibdo, Bokoblin, Lizalfos, Stone Pebblit, Little Frox, Evermean, Boss Bokoblin, Horriblin, Like Like, Moblin, Stone Talus, Lynel, Hinox, Molduga, Frox and Vicious Monster. Boss Bokoblin, Stone Talus, Lynel, Hinox and Frox trophies are needed in small numbers, while Bokoblin, Lizalfos and Keese trophies are asked for by the hundred.

The reliable method is to replay a finished battle or challenge. Pick a stage with several camps and outposts, take strong warriors with sweeping attacks, and clear it; bigger fights give better end-of-run rewards. The first-clear materials of each story battle are listed on its page in the walkthrough. Rare materials from those rewards include Golden Apples (The Art of the Blade and The Battle of Hyrule Castle), Diamonds (Crimson Omen, A Time for Action, The Demon King, Ensnared and The Final Confrontation), Large Zonaite (The Behemoth in the Crater, Crimson Omen, Ambush in the Depths, The Final Confrontation and A Clash of Constructs) and Big Hearty Truffles (The Battle of Hyrule Field first clear, and a chest in A Time for Action).

Two options raise your haul. At the Bonus Exchange, the card “Increase the Amount of Materials Enemies Drop” costs 2 Bonus Vouchers and lasts for the battle. Completing Mineru’s aside quest to supply a Muddle Bud to camp unlocks the Support camp effect “Chance of Extra Material in Material Drops”; set it as your Support effect and pair it with the supplies you prefer. See Camps and Shops for how camp effects and the exchange work.

Special Rations are portable meals that restore hearts to the warrior you control. Sonia hands you the first one after you defeat Typhan in The Art of the Blade, and from then on you open the Special Actions menu with the right directional button to eat one in battle. Entering a camp replenishes the Special Rations and Batteries you used.

You can carry 3 Special Rations at the start. Two Items quests raise the limit: “A Flying Korok!” adds 1 (3 Korok Seeds, Keese Trophy ×10, Aerocuda Trophy ×5, Korok Frond ×10 and an Octo Balloon, opens after Terror of the Sands) and “A Fighting Korok!” adds 2 (3 Korok Seeds, Zonaite ×10, Soldier Construct I Horn ×10, Little Frox Trophy ×10 and a Vicious Monster Trophy, opens after the main story), for a limit of 6. The Lanayru quest “Flavor Enhancement” makes each ration heal more hearts; it needs Warm Safflina ×5, Diamond ×2, Bokoblin Trophy ×150, Lizalfos Trophy ×30 and a Hinox Trophy, and opens after Terror of the Sands.

A seed with a distinctive smell, handed over by hidden Koroks. You spend them on 18 quests that raise your capacity limits; there are 101 to find, and Korok Seed Locations lists every one.

A glowing spirit orb often found when purifying shades; Shade-possessed Constructs drop them, and the Depths are full of them. Poe is the currency of the Tusk & Talon shop and is demanded by a few quests, with stacks of 100 to 500.

A reward for performing well in a battle, given for completing Time-Sensitive Missions. Trade vouchers at the Bonus Exchange for battle bonuses such as a full special-attack gauge, extra material drops or Koroks and chests on the minimap.
