Sunset Fireflies in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can be captured and used to create powerful stealth-enhancing elixirs when combined with monster parts in a cooking pot. We advise against mixing them into regular meals, as we tried this and Link ended up consuming something he definitely shouldn't have.

Catching bugs or critters in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom presents its own set of difficulties, mostly revolving around figuring out where they appear. Additionally, some insects and creatures are very sensitive to noise and movement, making them difficult to catch—especially when enemies are nearby.

We're here to guide you through how to obtain Sunset Fireflies in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, along with all the Sunset Firefly locations we've discovered so far.

How to get Sunset Fireflies in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

You can obtain Sunset Fireflies in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom by sneaking up and capturing them, or by buying them from Traders using Rupees. Below, we’ve explained both methods in more detail.

Catching Sunset Fireflies

If you've wandered Hyrule at night, you may have already noticed some Sunset Fireflies lingering in certain spots. You can capture Sunset Fireflies successfully if you move quietly, quickly, and without attracting enemies that could ruin your attempt.

When trying to catch a Sunset Firefly, we suggest crouching and moving slowly, as these bugs are easily startled. The slower you approach, the less noise you make, which lowers the chance of scaring them off. If you find it difficult to capture one, consider consuming a stealth-enhancing meal or elixir beforehand.

Once you're close enough, the capture prompt will appear, and all you need to do is press 'A' swiftly to grab the Firefly.

If the capture prompt doesn’t show up, you'll need to inch closer until it does. You can continue creeping forward or try dashing the final distance to snatch it. However, failing the dash will cause the Firefly to disappear and potentially scare others in the area.

Additionally, if there are enemies nearby and they spot you—whether by charging or sounding an alarm—the Sunset Fireflies will scatter. This happened to us multiple times (thank you, Bokoblins). In such cases, eliminate the enemies, and the Fireflies might return after a while, provided it’s still nighttime and the weather remains clear.

Buying Sunset Fireflies

If Bokoblins or poor weather conditions have made catching them too frustrating, you can purchase Sunset Fireflies from Beedle at Hyrule Stable. We've marked their exact location on the map below. The coordinates for Hyrule Stable are 0518, -3442, 0047.

Speak to Beedle (they’re usually outside the front entrance of the stable), and they’ll sell Sunset Fireflies at a cost of 10 Rupees each.

Sunset Firefly locations in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

Hyrule’s surface in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is vast, meaning there are numerous areas where Sunset Fireflies can appear. However, there are specific patterns and environmental factors that influence where and when you can find them.

• Good Weather – We haven't seen any Sunset Fireflies during rainy or stormy weather; they only seem to spawn under clear skies. However, if rain clears up and it’s still night, the Fireflies may appear.
• Wet, Woods, Marsh, Swamp – Sunset Fireflies tend to gather in dense forests, wetlands, and swampy areas. We haven't observed them in open grasslands, so sticking to wooded or marshy terrain increases your chances.
• Late Night Hours – While we’ve found a few before midnight, most appear between midnight and 3am.

Below are all the known Sunset Firefly locations in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that we’ve found so far, and we’ll keep updating this list as we explore more at night.

• Faron Grasslands - Southern Hyrule.
• East Necluda - Southeastern Hyrule.
• Hopper Pond - South of Lookout Landing and in the southern part of Hyrule Field.
