The best location for farmingRazorclaw Crabis on thesouthern coast of the Lanayru Bay, directly north from theMount Lanayru Skyview Tower. Use the tower to launch into the sky, then glide north to reach the beach atcoordinates (3876, -0674, 0001). Here, players can find a few small groups ofRazorclaw Crab, typically around six or seven at a time.
The two types of crabs are fairly simple to tell apart even from a distance:Razorclaw Crabhave a blue-green shell, whileIronshell Crabare bright red. Neither type of crab will scare easily, so Link won’t have to be too sneaky to approach and collect them, though it’s worth noting that theIronshell Crabwill run away much faster.
The northern coast of the Lanayru Bay, aroundcoordinates (3998, -0467, 0000)where the area gets windy, also features a wide beach that players can visit to grab a few moreRazorclaw Crab. Additionally, the stone islands throughout the area are great for collectingIronshell Crab, and the nearby waters can occasionally haveMighty Porgy, which also can be used tocook attack power increasing food.
