Koltin is an interesting merchant in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom with a goblin-looking appearance and a giant purple balloon. While he isn’t the primary way to buy supplies, he is worth searching for as he will provide mystical armor pieces you can’t find anywhere else. The thing about Koltin, though, is that he likes to bounce around from one location to the next — so it is essential to know where goes so you can find him whenever you need him. Here are all the Koltin locations in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

How to Buy Products from Koltin

As you explore caves in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, there are rare occurrences where you will encounter glowing giant frogs — also known as Bubbul Frogs. These Frogs, when killed, will drop Bubbul Gems, which are the only form of currency that Koltin will accept. At first, Koltin will offer to trade you for a small amount of Bubbul Gems, but the more you trade with him, the higher the price will go.

The good news is that these Bubbul Frogs that drop the Gems are extremely easy to kill. One shot of an arrow to the face will knock them on their back and easily have them drop a Bubbul Gem. The frogs always only drop one gem at a time.

All Koltin Rewards in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

As you trade Bubbul Gems with Koltin, he will offer you a variety of rewards. You can’t skip any rewards and can only receive them in a particular order. Below you will find all rewards Koltin offers and the order he provides them.

As previously mentioned, you can only claim these rewards if you have claimed the one that comes before it. So, for example, if you want the Mystic Headpiece, you must collect 46 Bubbul Gems! The best way to collect Bubbul Gems fast is to find Cherry Blossom Trees, which reveal the hidden locations of caves — which most likely have Bubbul Frogs inside that drop the Bubbul Gems.
