BotW Acorn: Locations and Armor Upgrades
Acorn in Breath of the Wild: 32 placed in the world, most of them near Sage Temple Ruins (18); 3 armor pieces need 30 in all; 2 recipes call for it.
Acorn is a seasoning in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The game describes it this way: “Often found on the ground near trees. Squirrels adore this nut, so you may have competition while foraging. Add one to a meal for a nutty seasoning.” This page shows where it is placed and adds up what the armor upgrades need.
