How To Use Bubbul Gems In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Bubbul Gems are dropped by the bright glowing creatures, that are often to be found on the ceiling of caves, called Bubbul Frogs. These creatures are quite harmless and won't attack you. If you find one in a cave, just shoot it with an arrow, for it to drop to the ground. It might require a few more hits, before it vanishes and leaves you with one of the precious Bubbul Gems.
