Blue Bokoblin Horn
The Blue Bokoblin Horn is a monster part dropped by Blue Bokoblins in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It can be fused to weapons, used in elixirs, and required for selected armor upgrades.
Key takeaways
The Blue Bokoblin Horn is a flexible material, so its best use depends on whether the player currently needs stronger equipment, elixirs, or armor improvements.
Combat material
Fuse the horn to a weapon when an additional seven attack power is more valuable than saving the material for another purpose.
Keep upgrade reserves
Because the horn is required for selected Hylian armor upgrades, it is sensible to retain some instead of spending every copy on weapon fusion.
Separate item identity
The Blue Bokoblin Horn and Blue Boss Bokoblin Horn are different materials. Their similar names do not mean they fulfil the same upgrade role.
Blue Bokoblin Horn overview
The Blue Bokoblin Horn is a two-pronged monster part obtained from Blue Bokoblins.
The Blue Bokoblin Horn is a monster part in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Its shape is defined by two prongs, with sharp edges and pointed tips that make it suitable for attachment to a weapon through the Fuse ability.
When fused to a weapon, the horn provides a moderate increase of seven attack power. This makes it a practical material for improving an existing weapon when a player has collected it during exploration or combat, rather than an independently wielded weapon.
The horn also has uses away from combat. It can be cooked with critters to create various elixirs, and it is required for upgrading selected Hylian armor pieces at a Great Fairy Fountain. Blue Bokoblins carrying these horns are commonly encountered in areas including Hyrule Field and Eldin Canyon.

Strengths and weaknesses
Strengths
- Provides a clear seven-point attack increase when fused to a weapon.
- Has multiple purposes, including weapon enhancement, elixir creation, and armor upgrading.
- Can be replenished by seeking out Blue Bokoblins in more than one region.
Weaknesses
- Its combat value depends on being fused to another weapon rather than being used as a standalone weapon.
- The material is not interchangeable with the Blue Boss Bokoblin Horn, which serves as a different axe-shaped upgrade part.
- Using a horn for an elixir or armor upgrade means it is no longer available for weapon fusion.
Best uses
- Fuse it to a weapon when a seven-point attack increase is useful.
- Keep a reserve for Hylian armor upgrades at a Great Fairy Fountain.
- Use spare horns with critters when preparing elixirs.

Handling and tips
Treat the Blue Bokoblin Horn as a material with competing uses rather than as a weapon that needs a fixed build. Its seven-point Fuse bonus is useful for immediate combat, but the same item may later be needed for Hylian armor improvements.
A simple inventory approach is to reserve enough horns for known armor requirements before using the remainder on weapons or elixirs. This avoids turning every newly collected horn into a temporary weapon enhancement when an upgrade is the more important goal.
When farming the material, focus on regions where Blue Bokoblins are commonly found. Hyrule Field and Eldin Canyon are both documented locations, making them useful areas to check while pursuing other exploration objectives.
Do not confuse the two Blue Bokoblin materials
Trivia
- The horn is visually described as having two prongs rather than the axe-like shape associated with the Blue Boss Bokoblin Horn.
- Its sharp edges and tips explain its visual identity as a weapon-fusion material.
- The same monster part bridges three systems: weapon fusion, elixir cooking, and Great Fairy armor upgrades.
- Hyrule Field and Eldin Canyon are both associated with finding Blue Bokoblin Horns.
