Best Way To Farm Zonaite
Collecting From Underground Ore Deposits Is Most Efficient
In the Depths, there are many Ore Deposits and Mining Caves where you can obtain a large amount of Zonaite by destroying with a hammer or Yunobo's skill. During the Blood Moon event, Ore Deposits will respawn. To collect Zonaite efficiently, it is advisable to locate accessible routes.
Can Also Be Obtained From Enemies And Crates

In the Depths, you can obtain Zonaite not only from Crates but also by defeating enemies or breaking wooden crates. When it comes to enemies mining the Crates, you may have a chance to obtain even more Zonaite, so be sure to defeat them when you come across them.
Depths Is Accessible From The Surface Chasm

After completing the Main Quest To The Kingdom of Hyrule, you can access the Depths by talking to Robbie at Lookout Landing. From then on, it is possible to travel from the Chasm located on the Surface to the Depths.
Prepare Some Brightbloom Seeds Before Going To Depths

When you first visit the Depths, the surroundings are usually pitch black, making it hard to see anything on the way. Therefore, it is essential to have Brightbloom Seeds to light up the area.
