The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild treats jewelry very differently from the rest of their items. Unlike weapons and shields, jewelry does not deteriorate or ever break. Each piece of jewelry has its own effect to protect Link from different situations.
Jewelry can be purchased from a shop in Gerudo Town. Before the shop will sell the accessories, a short side quest called “Tools of the Trade” must be completed. Find and bring 10 pieces of Flint to complete the quest. Flint can be found while exploring Hyrule. Smash black ore on the side of mountain to find various minerals.
Jewelry can be upgraded by going to a Fairy Fountain in Hyrule and using different materials. The effects won’t be upgraded, but the amount of protection they offer will. There are four Great Fairy Fountains in the game. See the fairy fountain page for more information on that side quest.
