The Ancient Gear is a material found in Breath of the Wild and Age of Calamity.
Breath of the Wild
"A gear used in ancient machinery. Despite being incredibly old, its build quality is leaps and bounds above anything built using current technology."
Ancient Gears can be obtained by defeating almost all types of Guardians, with the exception being the Guardian Scout I. Additionally, Link can find an Ancient Gear by examining a decaying guardian, as well as by lifting legless guardians that are in the water, using Cryonis. Additionally, Link can purchase an Ancient Gear from the wandering merchant Teli for 120 Rupees. While Teli normally only sells an Ancient Screw, Ancient Spring, and Ancient Gear, he has a rainy day special, where Link can purchase two Ancient Gears for 120 rupees each. After the Tarrey Town branch of The Slippery Falcon opens, Fyson also sells one Ancient Gear at a time for 120 rupees.
This material can be used in creating ancient equipment at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. Ancient Gears are used in the manufacturing of an Ancient Shield, Ancient Spear, and Ancient Bow. It is also used to purchase all items from the Ancient Set of armor, such as the Ancient Helm, Ancient Cuirass, and Ancient Greaves. When Link upgrades the Ancient Set at the Great Fairy, he will need 10 Ancient Gears per item for the ★★ upgrade. Link can also trade an Ancient Gear with Kilton at his shop, the Fang and Bone, for 10 Mon each.
