Tears of the Kingdom: How To Trade Luminous Stones For Rare Gems

gameranx.com:

Don’t know how to use Luminous Stones? Neither did we, until we found one of the most mysterious creatures in Hyrule.

Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom hints at a secret use for Luminous Stones as you play. Notes on the loading screen will suggest someone (or something) wants Luminous Stones — which you’ll find plenty of as you play through the story, especially in the deep underground. Any glowing mineral deposits in caves or in the Depths will spawn Luminous Stones, and after 50+ hours, you’ll have a huge stack of them while hunting down Zonaite.

So what are Luminous Stones actually for? The answer is surprising. It isn’t a person that wants Luminous Stones, but a herd of strange creatures called Dondons. These walking manatees with glowing horns love to eat Luminous Stones. Seriously. Learn all about these exotic animals in the full guide below.
