Bright Eyed Crabs are wildlife creatures in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. These unique creatures are pivotal when it comes to restoring Link’s health and stamina. However, they are not that easy to get. Like many other critters and monsters in Hyrule, these appear only at specific locations and weather. Nevertheless, once you get them, you will be able to mix them in various recipes. This guide will show you how to get Bright-Eyed Crabs in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.
Getting Bright-Eyed Crabs in Tears of the Kingdom
You can get Bright-Eyed Crabs in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom in the following locations:
- Lanayru Wetlands

Now, once you find a Bright-Eyed Crab, all you need to do is sneak up to it and take it into your inventory when the game prompts you to do it.
Bright-Eyed Crabs in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom are very useful. In addition to restoring health, they can also replenish Link’s Stamina.

There is a side adventure in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom that involves Bright-Eyed Crabs. You can pick up the quest from Cleff at the Coral Reef, the general store in Zora’s Domain. Titled ‘Crabulous Deal’ the quest tasks you to bring 10 Bright-Eyed Crabs to Cleff. Once you collect 10 Bright-Eyed Crabs roaming around the Lanayru Wetlands, Zora’s Domain, and Lanayru Great Spring, return to Cleff for a reward. You will receive one Sapphire for your efforts. After completing this quest, you can return to Cleff whenever you have these crabs for additional rewards.
