Zonaite can be found and mined from what are called Zonaite Deospits throughout Tears of the Kingdom, they are shiny rocks that players can smash. When players are near them they will sparkle with a blue tint and that’s when the player can swing their weapon at it. Once it is broken down Zonaite will fall from the rocks. Usually about three spawn, but if lucky, maybe four. Zonaite can only be found from the Mining Cave on the Great Sky Island which is where players start out or underneath Hyrule.
