Zona Devices are a key component in The Legend of Zelda TOTK’s Ultrahand creations, and they’re powered by Energy Cells from your battery. You can boost the charge of your battery in Tears of the Kingdom by getting more Energy Cells, so here’s how it’s done.

The The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom players must frequently rely on the Ultrahand ability to craft the most useful vehicles for traveling around the open world. From reaching sky islands to exploring everything Hyrule has to offer, the vehicles created by Ultrahand have endless uses.

Building vehicles with Ultrahand and Zonai Devices in TOTK is just the first step as these vehicles will constantly deplete your battery if you don’t have enough Energy Cells. You can increase your battery charge in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom if you get more Energy Cells, so here’s how it’s done.

How to get Energy Cells in The Legend of Zelda: TOTK

To get more Energy Cells and increase your battery in TOTK, you need to provide a Contrsuct with 100 Crystallized Charges. 100 Crystallized Charges will net you one Enery Well which provides one extra charge. Three charges make up one Energy Cell. Therefore, you’ll need three Energey Wells or 300 Crystallized Charges for one full Energy Cell.

Here are the steps to get more Energy Cells in TOTK:

  1. Collect Zonaite from the open world and head to a Construct.
  2. Swap your Zonaite in the Forge Contruct to get Crystalized Charges.
  3. Collect 100 Crystalized Charges and go to a Crystal Refinery.
  4. Give 100 Crystalized Charges to the Zonai operating the Refinery to obtain the Energy Well.
  5. Stockpile three Energy Wells to upgrade your Energy Cell (battery).

The Depths is the best place to get a ton of Zonaite quickly in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The region is filled with Zonai enemies and defeating them drops the item.
