Material

Materials are a type of item that appear in. They are used to craft Outfits.

Location and Uses
Materials are primarily found throughout the Drablands, although they can also be received as prizes for completing certain tasks or mini-games. Typically, at the end of a Level each Link is allowed to open one chest from a set of three, which contain two common materials and one rare material specific to that level. Once the region's boss has been defeated, the Links can undertake Drablands Challenges that use a different set of materials. Materials are necessary for crafting Outfits to wear in the Drablands, which can be tailored at Madame Couture's by providing a recipe of Materials and a certain amount of Rupees.

Rarer materials, used to make more powerful Outfits, can be acquired as rewards from the Faux Hero for completing levels alongside other players, rewards for completing Drablands Challenges, prizes in the Coliseum,, prizes in the Daily Riches mini-game, or goods bought from the Street Merchant. All Materials, with the exception of The Lady's Materials, can be obtained outside of Levels, either by the Street Merchant, Daily Riches, or the Coliseum; however, the chance to be able to receive such Materials is random.

The Lady's Materials—the Lady's Glasses, Lady's Collar, and the Lady's Parasol—are quest items used to craft The Lady's Ensemble, and can only be obtained as part of normal story progression. They are obtained at the end of the Forest Temple, The Lady's Lair, and the Sky Temple, respectively, in addition to the normal Materials awarded for completing those Levels, and cannot be sold to the Street Merchant, as he finds witch Materials to be creepy. Once they are all collected, the Outfit crafted from these special Materials grants Link the magical power necessary to lift Princess Styla's curse.

Hyrule Warriors
In, Materials 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. Materials are dropped by nearly every enemy type except Cuccos and infantry soldiers, 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. Silver Materials are dropped by unique Captains, Warriors, and giant bosses. Rare Gold Materials are dropped only by Warriors and giant bosses. Enemies can be influenced to drop their rarer Materials by using weapons with the "Material+" Skill, 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.
