Armor are items of defensive clothing in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and a returning feature from Breath of the Wild. Link can don a great variety armor items to defend himself with, keep warm, or just look plain stylish. Armor items include caps, tunics, trousers, and unique pieces of armor.

Each piece of armor has its own base defensive rating that will mitigate the hearts you lose when struck by an attack. In addition, some pieces of armor may also provide extra bonuses, including cold or heat resistance, improved climbing speeds, and even the ability to swim up waterfalls.

These pieces of armor can be found all over Hyrule, and range from being sold in Merchant shops in many of the main settlements in each region, to being hidden away in caves, located in treasure chests placed by Misko, the Legendary Bandit. Unlike Breath of the Wild, you will no longer find them for completing Shrines.

Just as it was in Breath of the Wild, many armor can be upgraded by seeking out the Great Fairy Fountains hiding in Hyrule. By upgrading your individual armor pieces in exchange for materials and rupees, you can increase the defensive capabilities of the armor, and also add unique set bonuses for wearing certain full sets of armor.
