Rubies are recurring Items in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2] [name reference needed]
Location and Uses[]
Breath of the Wild[]
Rubies are rare Materials occasionally obtained from breaking Ore Deposits. They are also dropped by various types of Stone Taluses, Silver enemy variants and Yiga Blademasters when killed. They're sold at Ore and More in Tarrey Town and by Kairo at Foothill Stable. Rubies are said to contain the power of fire within them, granting warmth in colder temperatures when used in Armor.[1]
Link can sell Rubies for 210 Rupees in most Shops, though the merchant Ramella will occasionally pay more for them in groups of ten after completing the Side Quest "The Jewel Trade".[3][4] Rubies are required to purchase the Ruby Circlet from "Starlight Memories" Shop. The description of the Snowquill Headdress reveals it is adorn with a Ruby.
Rubies are used by Great Fairies to upgrade certain pieces of Armor. They're needed for all tiers of the Ruby Circlet and the Hero Set, while five are needed for the final tier of each piece of the Snowquill Set.
- Total for Ruby Circlet: 22 (2, 4, 6, 10)
- Total for Hero Set: 57 (1, 3, 5, 10) x3
- Total for Snowquill Set: 15 (0, 0, 0, 5) x3
Other Appearances[]

They can be bought at the store in the Gerudo Desert, or be found in gray treasure chests in main quests, as well as be obtained through first-clear rewards. They can be sold to most Merchants for 210 Rupees, but Dayfah will buy them for 525 Rupees.
