In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Brightbloom Seeds helps you light up the dark areas, especially the darkest areas of Depths. There are other alternatives to light up the area, including the Miner’s Armor set. But Brightbloom Seeds are easy to get, and they dispel the darkness permanently, so we recommend prioritizing them.
Brightbloom Seeds can be found inside the dark caves and the depths of Hyrule. In this guide, we will help you locate both variants of Brightbloom Seeds in Zelda: TotK.
Brightbloom Seeds Farming locations
Finding the Brightbloom Seeds is not hard since they are present in every cave and well throughout Hyrule. You can also obtain them by defeating small Frox enemies in the depths. The identification of Brightbloom Seeds is that they will be glowing bright white in a cave or a mine in Zelda: TotK.
To pick up these Brightbloom Seeds, you have to stand right next to them and press A. Afterward, you have to use them to light up the area.
You can get around 30 Brightbloom Seeds and 5 Giant Brightbloom Seeds from Rauru Settlement Ruins Well (0661, 1266, 0022) near Woodland Stable, west of the Ekochiu Shrine. These seeds respawn after a few days (in-game time), so you can collect a lot of them with little effort.
How to use Brightbloom Seeds
There are two ways to use Brightbloom Seeds. The first one is to throw the Seed into the darker area, but simply dropping the Seed won’t do the trick. To throw the Seed, you have to Hold the R button and then hold Up on the D-Pad, choose the Brightbloom Seed from the inventory, and throw it wherever you want the light.
The Seed blooms when it touches the ground. In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you can fuse the Brightbloom Seeds with an arrow to light up an area at a distance. Then, you just have to shoot the arrow in the area where you want the light.
To attach the Brightbloom Seed with an arrow, Hold ZR to equip the Bow, hold the Up key on the D-Pad, and select the Brightbloom Seed to attach it to an arrow. Afterward, shoot the arrow, and the moment it hits the surface, the Brightbloom Seed will bloom and light up its surroundings.
This method is used in depths to light up the farther areas in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
