The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s Energy Cell is an important facet in your journey as Link. It determines how much capacity you have to power Zonai Devices, like a battery of sorts. Here’s our guide to help you increase your Energy Cell battery in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
How to increase the Energy Cell battery The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Resources: Zonaite, Zonai Charges, and Crystallized Charges
The Energy Cell key item is acquired early on while you’re going through the Great Sky Island starting area. Whenever a Zonai Device is active, this bar will slowly get depleted to power it up, though it also recharges over time. Now, before we discuss how to increase the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Energy Cell capacity, let’s talk about certain materials:
- Zonaite – Raw materials mined from ores, many of which are found in the Depths region. You can visit any Forge location in the Depths to refine Zonaite. Regular Zonaite can be converted into regular Zonai/Crystallized items, whereas Large Zonaite can be turned into large Zonai/Crystallized items.
- Zonai Charges – Think of these as the resource used to add more Energy Cell battery power, a bit like refilling the meter. Imagine something comparable to food in that it can “heal” your Energy Cell.
- Crystallized Charges – This is the resource used to increase Energy Cell battery capacity, essentially adding a bar to the meter. Imagine these as Blessings of Light in that they can net you an additional “heart,” but for your Energy Cell.
