The best spots to farm Zonaite
The best place to farm Zonaite in TOTK is in the Depths, with plenty of Zonaite ore deposits to mine from - although there are a few hot spots that you might want to prioritise first.
Great Abandoned Central Mine
The Great Abandoned Central Mine is a really great spot to try out - especially as it is found just underneath Central Hyrule so is fairly easy to access at the start of the game. Head to the coordinates -0728, -1860, -0503 and there will be some ore deposits for you to mine and also a way for you to use your Zonaite too.
Lindor Canyon Mine
Another great spot is the Lindor Canyon Mine, which is found at the map coordinates -2004, 1310, -0715, which is within the Depths below Hyrule Ridge, just southwest of Tabantha. There is an abundance of ore deposits in this spot, ranging from small individual ones to larger collections that might be better served with a bomb flower.
Korok Grove Encampments
Another great spot is found northwest of Korok Grove in the depths, around the map coordinates 0006, 2521, -0623. This is a wider area as opposed to a single spot, as there are two enemy encampments in close proximity here that are filled to the brim with Zonaite ore deposits.
Furthermore, most of the enemies within this area will also drop Zonaite when they die - especially the collector Bokoblins who have a basket full on their backs. You will need to have decently strong weapons and a fair amount of Hearts to deal with them though, so this isn't the best for the early game.

What is Zonaite used for in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Zonaite in TOTK is used to make Crystallized Charges and Zonai Charges at the various Forge Constructs dotted across Hyrule. You will typically need three Zonaite for each charge, extending to the large variants accordingly too.
This is essential if you're looking to expand the capacity of your Zonai energy well, so you'd better get collecting to ensure that you've picked as many up as possible.
