The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom features thirty full armor sets. Along with these full sets, players can also find twenty-nine individual sets. Furthermore, players will also be able to unlock a bonus armor set using Amiibo in the game. These sets provide the utmost assistance during fights and help in enduring the harshest conditions in the game’s fantasy world, Hyrule.

Players will need different armor sets to pass on various game stages. However, playing cleverly, players can focus on getting some armor on a priority basis and equipping them with some of the best upgrades to make them useful in any situation in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Here are the best armor sets in the game:

Soldier’s Armor

You might be wondering where you have seen this one before. The Soldier’s armor was also featured in the Tears of the Kingdom prequel. It has some of the best defense ratings in the game. Unlike in the prequel, where players could buy it, the Soldier’s Armor can only be obtained after exploring various locations of the Hyrule and locating all three parts of it in a save.

While it is already a strong armor, players can upgrade it at the Great Fairy Fountains to make it stronger and more useful. However, even though the upgrades can make it better than ever, players still might have to choose better alternatives when progressing through the gameplay. Besides that, it does not even feature any special abilities, perks, or bonuses in the game.

Originally in the prequel, players had to buy it from the Hateno Village. However, players find the Soldier’s Armor in the three parts of The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom of the Tears.

• Helm for the head
• Armor for the upper body
• Greaves for the legs

Each item has a basic defense rating of four points in the game. The Soldier’s armor, in all its pieces, can be found inside a chest below the Hyrule Castle in the caves of Royal Hidden Passage. There are multiple ways to enter the Royal Hidden Passage caves. Here is the easiest entrance option:

• Following the road below the Toppled Statue in the Observation room, located around the First Gatehouse. Players will meet the Nobiro guard in front of a room. In the room, players will find a chest with a diamond and the complete Soldier’s armor inside it.

Royal Guard Set

It is an average armor set in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Like the Soldier’s armor, the Royal Guard set can be replaced at any time with the availability of good options. However, both are good options at the start of the game. As its description in-game says, it is a lightweight, stylish, and practical armor made for the dignified royal guards of Hyrule. 

There are not any special perks, abilities, or bonuses with this armor set. Players will find this set in three pieces. Similarly, players can find it inside different chests or buy the Royal Guard armor set in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

The Royal Guard set comes in the following three parts in the game:

• Royal Guard Cap
• Royal Guard Uniform 
• Royal Guard Boots

As said above, players can either purchase it or find it inside various chests in the game. Here you can find all the relevant details about purchasing it:

• To be eligible or purchase this set in Tears of the Kingdom, players must first complete the Mayoral Elections side adventure in the Hateno Village.
• After its completion, players can purchase the Royal Guard Set for Tweny-two hundred rupees from Cece’s shop.

As for finding it in different chests, it is essential to note that all of its parts can be found in different chests in different game locations. Here are their relevant details:

• Players will find the royal cap inside a chest behind a screen in Princess Zelda’s Bedroom. 
• Royal Guard Uniform can be found inside a chest on a platform at the end of the Guard’s chambers. Players can locate this chamber by going to the First Gatehouse. From there, on one side, they will have to go on the pathway, passing through the gates until they reach the chambers. 
• Finally, the Royal Guard Boots are inside a chest at the northern end of the library in the King’s Study. Players can find the library inside Hyrule Castle below the Serutabomac shrine.

Zora Armor Set

Another classic armor set from the prequel, the Zora Armor set features some of the best abilities in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It is especially useful in aquatic environments where its abilities allow players to:

• Enhance their swim speed to swim around faster
• Climb up waterfalls by going against the flow upwards
• Use less stamina to conserve energy

Besides these abilities, the Zora armor is considerably strong, with sixty points defense rating in the game. Consequently, players can deal with enemies even in deep waters, which was not possible in the prequel.

Like the other sets in the game, the Zora armor set comes in the following three parts:

• Zora Helm
• Zora Armor
• Zora Greaves

Similarly, these armor parts can be obtained individually inside many chests in various locations in The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom of the Tears. Here is how you can get all three parts of the armor set:

• Players must complete the Sidon of the Zora quest to obtain the armor. After finishing the quest and returning to Zora’s Domain, players will meet Yona. Providing her with Ancient Arovana fish by getting it from the Fountain at Misha’s Court will reward players with the Zora armor.
• Completing A Token Of Friendship quest by killing the Stone Talus in Ancient Zora Waterworks in The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom of the Tears will reward players with the Zora Greaves, which can be found inside a chest.
• Zora Helm is also obtainable by completing The Never Ending Lecture quest, which involves returning to the Floating Scales Island. Players will find a cave around the island’s edges, and inside it, they will find a chest with the Zora Zelm.

Snowquill Armor

Being one of the easily available armors in the game, the Snowquill armor is an excellent wearable option to deal with the icy regions of the game as well as roaming in the skies effortlessly. While it is already capable against many tough situations in the game, the Snowquill armor can still be upgraded at The Great Fairy Fountains to increase its base defense ratings by eight points.

Moreover, it offers the following perks and abilities in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

• It can protect players from icy conditions by increasing the cold resistance of the suit.
• It makes players immune to ice attacks, allowing them to deal with enemies effectively and harmlessly.

The Snowquill armor set comes in three parts in The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom of the Tears.

• Snowquill Headress
• Snowquill Tunic
• Snowquill Trousers

Each of these parts has a basic defense rating of nine points in the game. Moreover, they all can be bought from the Rito Village Armor Shop. The Snowquill Headress, Tunic, and Trousers can be obtained for 650, 500, and 1000 rupees. On the other hand, players can also buy the complete set for 2500 rupees from the Brazen Beak in The Legends of Zelda: Kingdom of the Tears.

Glide Armor Set

It is one of the most useful armor sets in The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom of the Tears, with a fundamental working mechanism. Since the latest release, many massive towers have been added to the game, meaning players must take big leaps forward by jumping around towers without getting hurt.

Moreover, it is more valuable than the paraglider given to the players to get around the new Sky Island Terrains as it does not use up players’ stamina bar. Consequently, players can effortlessly move around and maneuver their moves in mid-air.

The Glide Armor set comes in three parts in The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom of the Tears.

• Glide Shirt
• Glide Mask
• Glide Tights

Players can get all these armor pieces by repeatedly completing the skydiving challenges on various towers within a certain time limit. Here is how and where you can get all these pieces by completing this skydiving challenge:

• Players can get the Glide shirt by skydiving on the Linders’ Brow Skyview Tower on Courage Island in The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom of the Tears.
• Bravery Island has a tower, and players can skydive from it to get the Glide Tights.
• Glide Mask, the final item on the list, can be obtained after completing the skydiving challenge from the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower on Valor Island.

Desert Voe Armor Set

While it was not a vital armor in Breath of the Wild, the Desert Voe Armor set has re-emerged in the latest release with many new features. Even though it does not have much fashion sense and comprises only a few clothing pieces, the Desert Voe Armor set is a very useful armor, providing excellent resistance against heat in The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom of the Tears.

Moreover, the additional perk of the Desert Voe Armor Set is that it can effectively reduce damage from electric shocks. By providing Link with an efficient Heat resistance mechanism, this armor saves up many resources that would otherwise be spent on heat-resistant meals.

The Desert Voe Armor Set comes in the following three parts in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom:

• Desert Voe Headband
• Desert Voe Spaulder
• Desert Voe Trousers

Players can buy all these parts separately from different locations of the game. Here is how you can get them:

• The Desert Voe Headband is easily available from the Kara Kara Bazaar for 450 rupees.
• The spaulder and Trousers can be bought together from the Secret Fashion Club in Gerudo Town for 1300 and 650 rupees respectively.

Stealth Suit

Another very useful armor set in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the Stealth Suit. It is stylish and practically very efficient in improving the stealth and movement speeds during the night in the game. Moreover, as featured in the previous game of The Legend of Zelda series, the Stealth Suit gives a nostalgic vibe when acquired.

Even though it is a bit expensive, the Stealth is still one of the game’s easiest-to-find and upgrade suits. Even though many other armors sets to increase players’ stealth in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, no one does it better than the Stealth suit.

The Stealth suit comes in the following three parts in the game:

• Stealth Tights
• Stealth Mask
• Stealth Chest Guard

Players can purchase the complete set only after completing the Gloom-borne Illness quest in Tears of the Kingdom. It involves players making Sunny Veggies Porridge by finding various ingredients from different locations of the game. After completing this quest, players will be eligible to purchase these items:

• Stealth Tights for 500 rupees from the Eastwind in Kakariko Village.
• Stealth Mask for 600 and Stealth Chest Guard for 700 rupees from the same shop.

Glowing Miner’s Suit

The Glowing Miner’s Suit is an important armor as it lets players uncover the secrets in the Depths of Tears of the Kingdom. The most prominent trouble players face during their journey in the Depths is the unavailability of light, making the journey even more dreading. While taking different light sources can significantly improve your vision, holding these light sources all the way creates another problem.

Here is how the Glowing Miner’s suit helps players in these situations:

• It creates a glowing effect around Link, allowing him to look around the darkest places.
• Similarly, it leaves behind a light trail, illuminating the whole area.

The Glowing Miner’s Suit comes in the following three pieces in The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom of the Tears:

• Miner’s Mask
• Miner’s Top
• Miner’s Trousers

Here is how and where players can find all these items in the game:

• Players can get the Miner’s mask inside the Abandoned Kara Kara Mine in Gerudo Desert Depths.
• Players will find the Miner’s Top in the Central Hyrule Depths under Daphne’s mountains.
• Under the Hylia Mountain, inside the Hylia Canyon Mine, players will find the Miner’s Trousers.

Climbing Gear

Climbing Gear is yet another item from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild that has survived to be featured in the latest release. Considering the limited stamina bar of Link, players will have to find better alternatives to manually climbing huge buildings in the game.

Climbing Gear comes to help in this situation, allowing players to easily and quickly climb up anything in Tears of the Kingdom by conserving Link’s stamina. The sleeveless design and trendy color give it a cool vibe as well.

It is divided into the following three parts in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom:

• Climbing Bandana
• Climbing Gear
• Climbing Climbing Boots

Here is the step-by-step guide to getting this set in the game:

• Players must go to North Hyrule Plane, near New Serrene Stable, and find a hole in the open ground to jump in.
• After jumping inside the hole, players will find a Bubblefrog and have to defeat it.
• Now on the right-hand side of the first waterfall, players will find a chest with the Climbing Gear.
• Players can find The Climber’s Bandana inside Ploymus Mountain Cave and the Climbing Boots inside Upland Zorana Byroad in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Frostbite Armor Set

Armors usually defend players against serious attacks. However, with the Frostbite Armor set, players can perform improved attacks on their enemies in The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom of the Tears. Here are some perks and abilities of the Frostbite armor set in the game:

• Protects players from extreme-cold conditions of the game.
• Players can perform improved charge attacks.
• An ice blast occurs when players perform any attack combos.

When compared with the Snowquill armor set, the Frostbite is a natural preference as it provides the same benefits and an additional perk of performing improved ice attacks.

The Frostbite Armor set consists of the following three pieces in the game:

• Frostbite Headdress
• Frostbite Shirt
• Frostbite Trousers

Players can find these pieces in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in different locations. Here is how you can find all of them:

• The Frostbite shirt can be located inside a chest in the Brightcap cave. Players can go to Tabantha Frontier Area to locate the cave by burning bushes.
•  Players can find the Frostbite Headdress in a chest in Lake Kilsie. When in the Hebra Mountains, players will find a wall blocking their journey. Simply destroying the wall will let players discover the chest before them.
• Lastly, the Frostbite Trousers are available inside a chest in the Hebra Headspring Cave. It is located in the Tabantha Frontier, and players can find it behind an ice wall with a big hole.

The Ember Armor

The Ember Armor set is the perfect choice for the scorching weather in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. While the Desert Voe armor set is also a good choice, the Ember Armor surpasses it in every aspect, whether it is heat resistance, shock resistance, or offering improved attacks against enemies. Here are some of the perks and abilities that players can enjoy with this set:

• Provides resistance against extreme heat in the game.
• Allows players to perform improved Charged attacks on their enemies.
• It creates a heat blast when players perform attacking combos wearing this suit.

The defense rating is the only part where the Desert Voe Armor set seems better. However, with certain upgrades, players can improve the defense rating of the Ember Armor.

The Ember Armor set comes in the following three pieces in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom:

• Ember Headdress
• Ember Shirt
• Ember Trousers

Here is how you can get all three pieces in the game:

• The Ember Shirt can be found in a chest in the Goronbi River Cave. Finding the cave is a hectic task. Players must pass through many hurdles in the Eldin Canyon area, including riding on a floating platform to cross the lava.
• Players can find the Ember Trousers inside a chest in the Cephla Lake Cave. The cave is located in the Eldin Canyon.
• Finally, the Ember Headdress can be found inside a chest in the YunoboCo HQ South Cave in The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom of the Tears. It is, again, a hectic process and will require players to perform certain tasks, including destroying a wall, repairing and driving a car, and driving across a pool of lava to locate the chest finally.

Armor Of The Wild

Armor of the Wild is one of the best picks in The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom of the Tears, with a basic defense rating of eighty-four points. Moreover, among all the armors also featured in the previous edition of the game, this one is hands down the best.

Although already with a high defense rating, players can upgrade it to improve it. With no additional perks, Armor of the Wild can raise attacks in the game and deal more damage than other armor sets.

Armor of the Wild consists of the following three components in The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom of the Tears:

• Cap of the Wild
• Tunic of the Wild
• Trousers of the Wild

Players can get the complete set while discovering The Depths of the game. Here are the complete details of their locations:

• Exploring the Gerudo Dark Skeleton area, players will find a chest and Tunic of the Wild inside it.
• Eldin Dark Skeleton area has a chest with Trousers of the Wild.
• Moreover, the Hebra Dark Skeleton area has a chest with Cap of the Wild in The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom of the Tears.

The Zonaite Armor

Like Armor of the Wild, the Zonaite armor set has the highest defense rating, with eighty-four points in The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom of the Tears. Since the new map is relatively bigger than the one in the prequel, players will need something to navigate them around different places.

The developers added the Zonai devices to assist players in this regard. However, these devices need to be recharged repeatedly. 

The Zonaite Armor comes in handy in this regard as it is not only one of the best-looking armors in the game but also helps players with its following perks and abilities:

• It enhances and improves the efficiency of the Zonai Devices.
• It helps the Zonai devices recharge a two-times faster.

The Zonaite Armor set consists of the following three pieces:

• Zonaite Helm
• Zonaite Waistguard
• Zonaite Shin Guards

The Zonaite Armor set is one of the most difficult armor sets to obtain in the game. Players can find all three pieces from the following locations in The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom of the Tears:

• Players can find the Zonaite Helm on Lightcast Island. The island is located in the Tabantha Frontier Sky area, and players can reach their desired place by traveling a long way, fighting many enemies, and observing many strange events.
• The Yansamin Shrine has a chest with the Zonaite Wasirguard. The shrine is located on the East Necluda Sky, and reaching there is no easy task.
• Finally, the Zonaite Shin Guards can be found inside a chest in the Akkala Sea Sky area in the Sky Mine.
