How To Find Caves
To make spotting the caves easy, you can always try out that cherry blossom method. In this method, you will have to find cherry blossom trees scattered around the Hyrule Kingdom. Doing so will allow you to illuminate all Tears of the Kingdom Cave locations, making it easier for you to spot them. Some of the cherry trees are located near shrines like the Yamiyo shrine.
Illuminating The Caves
You will also be able to find them in the Central Hyrule kingdom.
- You can put a piece of fruit in the bowl present on the altar as an offering. You will be able to find a lot of fruits near the cherry blossom tree itself.
- However, you can also use any fruits in your inventory. When you offer the fruit at the altar, it will disappear. So make sure not to use any rare fruit items.
- After the offering illuminating blue stag called satori, the Lord of the mountain will appear right in front of you. It will illuminate all the caves making it easier for you to spot them.
- However, keep in mind that they will disappear after some time, but you can offer the fruit at the altars to illuminate them once again.
- We do recommend marking the caves on your map as soon as they glow so you won’t have to make the offering again and again.
Using The Blupees
Another great way of finding Tears of the Kingdom Cave locations is to use blupees.
- After that, the blupee will lead you to any cave nearby.
- You will be able to find a lot of items like sticky lizards, glow cave fish, and even rare items like the bomb flowers.
- If you are lucky, you will be able to get your hands on the bright bloom seeds as well, which can be used as a lighting source.
- Some of these games may also offer you the Mystic armor set as well as other armor and weapons. You will also be able to find the caves by visiting them sometime after exploring them.
