Opal is a material found in Breath of the Wild, Age of Calamity, and Tears of the Kingdom.
Breath of the Wild
"A valuable ore that gives off a mesmerizing iridescence similar to the inside of a seashell. It contains the power of water."
Opals can be obtained from miscellaneous Chests in the game, from mining Ore Deposits, and it is also a common drop from the Stone Talus. It is required if Link wants to purchase the Opal Earrings from Fashion Passion in Gerudo Town, since 8 are necessary in the manufacture. Alternatively, they can be sold to shop-vendors such as Beedle for 60 Rupees each.
Locations
Opal is one of the more common Gems found in the game, with only Amber being more common. It can be found abundantly in treasure chests early on in Link's quest, including on the Great Plateau, and in the Dueling Peaks Tower & Hateno Tower regions.
- Underwater in the pond next to the Oman Au Shrine on the Great Plateau.
- In the treasure chest in the ice lake, just outside the Keh Namut Shrine on the Great Plateau.
- A reward at the Bokoblin camp at the north end of the Forest of Spirits on the Great Plateau.
- A reward for defeating all the Bokoblin surrounding the Hopper Pond on the Great Plateau.
- Behind the bombable wall down by the water, just west of the Temple of Time on the Great Plateau.
- In a treasure chest at the northwest edge of the Great Plateau. Located on the ruins at the edge of the cliff.
There is a 5% possibility of finding an Opal by melting snowballs with fire.[OP 1]

Tears of the Kingdom
Opals can be obtained from miscellaneous Chests in the game or from mining Ore Deposits. They can be sold anywhere in Hyrule for 30 rupees each.
They now possess added utility compared to its Breath of the Wild counterpart, giving a weapon the ability to cast orbs of water when used as a fuse material. It's most effective when fused with a Magic Rod, Magic Scepter or Magic Staff. These types of weapons are effective against Fire enemies and against the Sludge that Link will have to navigate when doing the Sidon of the Zora part of the Main Quest.
