Link’s Got Deep Pockets? Unveiling BotW’s Most Wallet-Wrenching Item
Have you walked through Hyrule? Have you wondered what digital trinket would empty Link’s rupee stash? You are not alone. Breath of the Wild provides many treasures, but one item stands out for its high cost.
Get ready, Hylian travelers. The most expensive item in BotW is… *drumroll please* … the Diamond Circlet.
This isn’t a mythical sword or a robot guardian. It is a headpiece. But wait. This is not an ordinary tiara.
Price Tag Shock: How Much for Bling?
How much does this shiny circlet cost? You need to go to the sun-baked sands of Gerudo Town. There, in vibrant bazaars, a jeweler sells this item. Be ready to pay 1,500 rupees. Does it make you feel the pinch?
But there’s more! Spending 1,500 rupees isn’t enough. You must bring the jeweler three… yes, *three*… Diamonds.
If you have spent time mining or battling Stone Taluses, you know Diamonds do not grow on trees or come from treasure chests at every turn. These gems are precious for a reason.
How precious? If you buy Diamonds, they cost 2,000 rupees each. That’s a total of 6,000 rupees for Diamonds *plus* the 1,500 rupee crafting fee.
Let’s do the math:
| Item | Cost |
| Diamond Circlet Base Price | 1,500 Rupees |
| Cost of 3 Diamonds (2,000 rupees each) | 6,000 Rupees |
| Total Cost of Diamond Circlet | 7,500 Rupees |
You read that right. 7,500 rupees for a headpiece. That’s enough to buy many apples. Or maybe just a smaller number of apples. Either way, it is a lot of rupees.
Is It Worth the Rupee Ruckus?
Is the Diamond Circlet worth the cost? That depends on your play style and your desire to look like Hylian royalty.
The Diamond Circlet offers Guardian Resist Up. This helps when facing those laser-blasting robots. It makes encounters a bit less… explodey.
However, you can get Guardian Resist in other ways. You can cook or wear other armor pieces with effects like that. Thus, the Diamond Circlet isn’t strictly *essential*.
But if you are a completionist or value fashion in Hyrule, the Diamond Circlet represents status. Let’s be honest, Link looks great with diamonds.
The Diamond Circlet is BotW’s top expensive item. Start saving rupees and mining ore deposits. If you want this headpiece, you will need to work hard (or sell some lynel parts).
