Material

Template:Images Template:Item Materials are a unique type of item drop that appear in Hyrule Warriors. They are similar to Spoils and Treasures in that each Material is a unique object possessed by the enemy that dropped it, such as their hair or weapons, rather than a generic item.

Location and Uses

Materials are dropped by nearly every enemy type except Cuccos and infantry, and only when the enemy does not drop a weapon bag. They come in three rarities, with at most two rarities of item for each enemy type. The most common are Bronze materials, which are the only item drops for the basic infantry captains, followed by Silver materials, which are dropped by unique captains, warriors, and giant bosses, and the rare Gold materials, which are dropped only by warriors and giant bosses. Enemies can be influenced to drop their rarer materials by using weapons with the "Material+" ability, or by activating the identical boon while using Focus Spirit.

Materials are primarily used to craft Badges for the playable Warriors, with each Badge having its own recipe of specific materials. Materials can also be used to brew one-use elixirs, by consuming a set amount of any material of a given rarity.
