Unleashing the Secrets of Amber Earrings in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Quick Links

As one of the many types of armor available in the game, jewelry in Tears of the Kingdom can offer a range of elemental resistances and protection from various weather conditions. However, the Amber Earrings don't provide any specific resistances to Link. Despite this, they can become some of the most reliable and effective armor pieces in the game once they've been fully upgraded.

The Gerudo Region is where players can locate the Amber Earrings in Tears of the Kingdom, but they come with a hefty price tag at the beginning of the game. To avoid disappointment, players must save up their Rupees beforehand if they plan on purchasing a pair before journeying through Hyrule's desert.

Amber Earrings Location (TotK)

If you're looking to add a touch of elegance to your outfit, the Amber Earrings are a great choice. These stunning earrings can be purchased at either the Gerudo Shelter or the Starlight Memories Jewelry Store in Gerudo Town. To get to Gerudo Town, simply make your way to Kara Kara Bazaar and head towards the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower. From there, you'll be able to easily navigate your way to the town and pick up your new favorite accessory.

Gerudo Hideout (Amber Earrings)

For players who are venturing into the Gerudo Desert for the first time, reaching Gerudo Town can be a bit of a challenge due to the sandstorm. However, there are a couple of ways to navigate through it. One option is to ride a Sand Seal from Kara Kara Bazaar, while the other is to use the paraglider in the wind tunnels to soar above the storm. Once above the sandstorm, players will be able to get a better view of the distance between their location and Gerudo Town.

To create a Travel Point, players must activate the Soryotanog Shrine located at the summit of Gerudo Town.

Upon reaching Gerudo Town, players can access the waterways near the north gate at coordinates -3792, 2903, 0043. After jumping down and following the path, a letter in a bottle will float down the waterways. While the contents of the letter are not crucial, players should follow the bottles until they reach an opening in the ceiling. To enter the Gerudo Hideout, use Ascend from below.

Once the scene ends, there's a jewelry stand to the right of the Hideout's entrance. The jeweler will sell a Sapphire and Ruby Circlet as well as the Amber Earrings.

Gerudo Town (Amber Earrings)

After successfully finishing the Lightning Temple with Riju, players can witness the restoration of Gerudo Town to its former grandeur. Head towards the north gate and turn right to find Starlight Memories, a jewelry store that offers a wider range of accessories than the hideout. In addition to the Amber Earrings, players can now browse through a more extensive selection of jewelry items. This upgrade in shopping options is made possible as the accessories are now being relocated from the hideout to the jewelry store in Gerudo Town.

Amber Earrings Cost

To purchase the Amber Earrings for 400 Rupees, players can visit the hideout or the jewelry store. However, if they are short on funds, there are several ways to earn more Rupees. One option is to sell valuable gems like Diamonds to the Gerudo Merchant in Goron City who will pay twice the price of a regular merchant for bundles of 10 gems. For instance, 10 Diamonds can be sold for 5,500 Rupees. Another way to earn Rupees is by completing the "Lucky Clover Gazette" Side Adventure and receiving payment from Penn. As Link completes more tasks, the pay increases. Additionally, selling unwanted meals can also generate income, with stronger meal effects selling for higher prices.

Can You Upgrade the Amber Earrings?

Upgrading the Amber Earrings can prove to be a worthwhile investment for those seeking potent accessories or headgear, even though the process is expensive due to the high cost of materials involved. It is worth noting, however, that these earrings do not form part of a set and hence do not offer any Set Bonus, despite the fact that they do boast a base defense of 4 that can be boosted up to 28 through complete upgrading.

Amber and Flint are two of the most frequently encountered drops from Ore Deposits. These materials can be obtained from any type of deposit, unlike the Rare Ore Deposits. It is advisable for players to use weapons that are expendable when mining for ore. The most suitable places to locate these deposits are in caves, wells, or the nearby caves in Goron City/Eldin Region.
