The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomintroduces a wide array of devices that are powered by a unique type of energy. To store more energy, you will need more wells, which require you to gatherZonaiteore and visit a Forge Construct.
With enough ore, you can purchase Crystallized Charges, which can then be exchanged for an Energy Well. If you are looking to upgrade your Energy Cell but can’t find a Forge Construct, we are here to help. In this guide, we are going to take a look at where you can find every Forge Construct in Hyrule.
Updated June 02, 2025 by Jacqueline Zalace:Forge Constructs are quite important, as they set the foundation for upgrading your Energy Cell. If you are still looking for all the Forge Constructs, we’ve got you covered. We have updated this guide with refreshed formatting and a bit more information to help you find the closest Forge Construct.
Forge Construct Vs. Crystal Refinery
Before diving into the Forge Construct locations, let’s take a quick look at Crystal Refinery.Forge Constructs are areas where you trade your Zonaite Ore in for Crystallized Charges, while a Crystal Refinery is where youbring these charges toincrease your energy held in the Energy Cell.
There are onlytwo Crystal Refineriesfound in Hyrule. The first one is located on the Great Sky Island, while the other is located just north of Lookout Landing. Of the two,it’s easier to reach the Lookout Landing location,as you just need to run north for a short distance rather than traveling through a cave.
How To Clear Forge Construct Mines
Many of these Forge Constructs are found in mines that are teeming with dangers. If there are enemies nearby, like the Yiga Clan,you may need to clear out their forces first.
Forge Constructs will need to be interacted with before you can purchase their items for sale. To do this, simplywalk up to a Construct and interact with it.
Master Kohga Of The Yiga Clan Mines
Several mines are visited throughout the story, which contain Forge Constructs. Below, you can check out a quick list of mines that you will visit whilecompleting the Yiga questline.
These are presented in order.
Sky Island Forge Construct
Forge Constructs are primarily located underground, however,there is one that you can find on theGreat Sky Island.This Forge Construct can be found within the Mining Cave.
To get here,teleport to the Room of Awakening and exit outside.Right as you get outside, take a right and jump off the island. On the way down, you should pass a small island that has a pond.
Drop all the way to the ground, where you will see asmall cave opening that has rails leading into it.From here, you just need tofollow the cave for a bit until you reach the Forge Construct.During the tutorial portion of the game, you will pass through here.
Forge Constructs In The Depths
The remaining ten Forge Constructs areall found in the Depths.Each Construct is located in a mine; you won’t have to wander the Depths in search of one little shop.
Below, you can find each Forge Construct in the Depths, separated by its associated mine location.
Abandoned Hebra Mine
The Abandoned Hebra Mine liesdirectly under Rito Village, with a chasm dropping directly into the closed-off area. Getting here might be a bit of a trek, but through the side adventure Master Kohga Of The Yiga Clan, you will eventually wind up here for a battle.
Once you’ve completed this side adventure, the area will be safe, and you’re able to interact with the nearby Forge Construct.
Abandoned Kara Kara Mine
There are not many chasms in the Gerudo Desert, so to locate the Abandoned Kara Kara Mine, you will need tohead north a bit to the Gerudo Highlands.The Birida Lookout Chasm is a rather large hole in the ground that will drop you off north of the abandoned mine.
Abandoned Gerudo Mine
To find the Abandoned Gerudo Mine, you cango through the same chasm you took to find the Abandoned Kara Kara Mine.Rather than heading south with a slight east curve, just head south until you find the Abandoned Gerudo Mine.
Great Abandoned Central Mine
This is one of thelargest mines in Hyrule,and is located right under the Great Plateau just south of Hyrule Field.
To get here, you will need toclimb onto the top layer of the plateau and hop through the Great Plateau North Chasm.There is also anEast Chasmthat you can enter, located to the east of the mine; this entrance is also on top of the plateau.
Abandoned Lurelin Mine
Next, we have the Abandoned Lurelin Mine Forge Construct. Similar to the Gerudo Desert, there are not many chasms here, making it a bit of a hassle to reach, especially if you are low on supplies.
If you do decide to venture to this mine,we suggest heading through the Meda Mountain Chasm.From here, you will need to navigate the terrain south until you reach the Abandoned Lurelin Mine.
Abandoned Kakariko Mine
As the name suggests, the Abandoned Kakariko Mine islocated right under Kakariko Village.Thankfully, there is a chasm slightly north of this mine, making it easy to reach. The East Hill Chasm islocated on a hill to the north of Kakariko Village.Once in the Depths, just head south to the Abandoned Kakariko Mine.
Abandoned Hateno Mine
The Abandoned Hateno Mine is found under Hateno Village but unfortunately,there is no nearby chasm.Instead, you will need tohead north to the Naydra Snowfield Chasm.From here, it’s a straight shot south to the Abandoned Hateno Mine.
Abandoned Lanayru Mine
The Abandoned Lanayru Minelies under the Zora Domain, with a chasm leading to the area,similar to the mine found under Rito Village.
To find the Chasm Under Zora’s Domain, head to the main bridge leading to the Zora Domain. Under this bridge,you will see a giant waterfall that acts as a wall leading up to the Zora Domain.This waterfall has a secret cave hidden behind it, called theCave Under Zora’s Domain.Inside, you’re able to find the aptly named Chasm Under Zora’s Domain.
Abandoned Tarrey Mine
Tarrey Town occupies a little island, which means that the Abandoned Tarrey Mine is also located on a little island. Getting here is rather straightforward; justhead through the East Akkala Plains Chasm and go southuntil you find a tiny bit of ground that connects to the mine.
Abandoned Eldin Mine
Lastly, we have the Forge Construct located in the Abandoned Eldin Mine. This location is incredibly hot;if you don’t have armor with Flame Resistance, you will burn and take damage.
Prior to heading here,we recommend completing at least the first portion ofYunobo of Goron City,which takes you into the Death Mountain Chasm. Once you are in the Depths here, you may stray off course and find the Abandoned Eldin Mine and the Forge Construct in the area.
