Amber

Amber is a common mineral essential for upgrading armor at the Great Fairy Fountains and handy for fusions that grant weapons a sharp blade that slightly increases attack power in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Amber, which resembles a sharp orange crystallized blade, can be found by mining Ore Deposits and Rare Ore Deposits, opening Treasure Chests, and defeating some monsters and minibosses.

Tips for Finding Amber

  • Amber is a common drop from mineral deposits, so be sure to explore Hyrule's Caves and Wells to find Ore Deposits and Rare Ore Deposits.
  • While in caves, be sure to cut green vines with sharp weapons and destroy breakable rocks with hammer-like weapons and explosives to find hidden passages to potentially more Ore Deposits.
  • Be sure to have a hammer-like weapon on hand to crack open Ore Deposits.
  • If you need a hammer, there are usually rocks in Caves and Wells that you can fuse to a weapon to make one.
