Ancient Cores can drop as a random loot from certain [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardians]]. [[Guardian Stalker]]s, [[Guardian Skywatcher]]s, and [[Guardian Turret]]s will drop this material. The [[Guardian Scout III]] and [[Guardian Scout IV]] will rarely drop this item as well. Additionally, Link can purchase Ancient Cores from the traveling merchant [[Teli]]. While Teli normally only sells an [[Ancient Screw]], [[Ancient Spring]], and [[Ancient Gear]], he has a rainy day special, where Link can purchase an Ancient Core for 130 rupees.

This material can be used in creating ancient equipment at the [[Akkala Ancient Tech Lab]]. Ancient Cores are used in the manufacturing of the [[Ancient Short Sword]], [[Ancient Shield]], [[Ancient Bladesaw]], and [[Ancient Spear]]. It is also used to purchase all items from the [[Ancient Set]] of [[Breath of the Wild Armor|armor]], such as the [[Ancient Helm]], [[Ancient Cuirass]], and [[Ancient Greaves]]. When Link upgrades the Ancient Set at the [[Great Fairy]], he will need 5 Ancient Cores per item for the ★★★ upgrade. Link can also trade an Ancient Core with [[Kilton]] at his shop, the [[Fang and Bone]], for 40 [[Mon]] each.

Ancient Cores can also be found in [[Treasure Chest|Chests]] in the following [[Shrine of Trials|Shrines]]:
