So, you’ve finally decided to get some Octorok Eyeballs in Tears of the Kingdom! Now, all you’ve left to figure out is how to get them and what to do with them once you’ve gotten some.
There are many more creatures in Tears of the Kingdom than there were in Breath of the Wild, which means there are many more items mobs can drop. Not to mention, the various items you find in TOTK have a wider range of uses than before.
One of the most useful items when it comes to wielding a bow and arrow in Tears of the Kingdom is the Octorok Eyeball. This guide will go over where you can find it and what it’s used for.
What Are Octorok Eyeballs And How Do You Get Them?
Octoroks should be familiar to any longtime Zelda fans, as they appear in almost every game in the franchise. When you defeat an Octorok in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, they drop three things: balloons, tentacles, and—you guessed it—eyeballs. They aren’t especially formidable foes, so you should be able to make short work of them and start collecting those eyeballs.
There are monsters to defeat all over the map and different benefits to defeating each one. However, if you are looking for Octoroks specifically, there are a few things you should know.
There are five different variants of Octorok you can find in the game, and each will drop eyeballs when defeated. The five E varieties of Octorok you can find in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are Water Octoroks, Forest Octoroks, Rock Octoroks, Snow Octoroks, AND Treasure Octoroks.
Where Can You Find Octoroks In Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
“But,” you may ask, “where can I find an Octorok?” Worry not—there’s probably an Octorok close to wherever in Hyrule you are. They can be found in locations scattered all over the map. Your best bet for finding an Octorok is to go to one of these places:
- Lanayru Great Spring
- West Necluda
- Hyrule Ridge
- Deep Akkala
- Death Mountain
- Eldin Canyon
- Faron Grasslands
- Gerudo Highlands
- Hebra Mountains
Keep in mind that different varieties of Octorok can be found in each location, so you will have to do some traveling if you want to see all the different varieties for yourself.
What Can You Do With An Octorok Eyeball?
So, now you’re up to your eyeballs in—well—eyeballs, and you’re wondering what to do with them. Have no fear; Octorok Eyeballs are a very useful and versatile ingredient. To save the best for first, the number one thing you should be doing with your Octorok Eyeballs in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is combining them with your arrows. Once you’ve attached the Octorok eyeballs to your arrows, they will be able to hone in on nearby targets once you fire them. This is an incredibly useful and convenient feature.
