Diamond - Location and Details - The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Guide

Diamonds are a rare material in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and are not counted in the Hyrule Compendium. Where to find Diamonds can be tricky, but there are guaranteed locations to get them as rewards. Find them with this handy guide and learn more about TotK's Diamond uses.

Official Description: "The most precious ore one can find. Its signature sparkle has charmed Hyruleans for generations. As such, it has sold for a very high price since ancient times."

Where to Find Diamonds

Diamonds can be found in treasure chests and are given as shrine rewards. The first and fastest diamond you can get is under Hyrule Castle within the Royal Hidden Passage cave. You specifically want to enter through the Observation Room, which you can get to without contest early on in the game.

The Observation Room is past the First Gatehouse below the floating Hyrule Castle. Follow the road past the First Gatehouse a little ways (shown below in the map image) then look over the ledge toward Hyrule and you'll spot a balcony below. Glide down and enter to find a room with a guard called Nobiro.

To get into the passage, use Ultrahand on a floor grate.

Drop down and you'll see a treasure chest on the platform with ladder. Open it to claim your diamond!

Below are the three shrines we've confirmed to give a diamond as a reward. Each of these shrines has full walkthroughs on their respective guide pages.
