How to get it: Once you reach Rito Village in the Hebra Mountains, their Armor Shop will sell the full Snowquill armor set. Location: Rito Village, Hebra Mountains.

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom best armor: Desert Voe Headband If you're on the edge of a wall, swapping immediately to this set will massively increase your chances of making it to the top. Why it's worth getting: It should be obvious, but moving faster while you climb means you're far less likely to run out of stamina halfway up a cliff, building or mountainside. A cave leads to the last shrine with the Climbing Boots located inside. Using Ultrahand to lift the gate at the far end of the room will lower the water level - allowing you to duck under the stairs to the right of that gate. Turn Northeast at the pool to see a partially-hidden route - fight through that until you reach a flooded room full of ruins. Just North of Ralis Pond is the Upland Zorana Byroad Cave - go inside and fight through the Like Likes, but halfway you'll find a pool. Climbing Boots (legs): The most annoying of the set to reach, head to the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower (found at our Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Towers guide), then glide South down the cliffs.Fight your way through the LIke Likes and Horriblins to find the shrine with the Body armor inside. Across from that to the East is North Hyrule Plain Cave, with the entrance facing South. Climbing Gear (body): Near the first of the Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Geoglyphs in North Hyrule Plain is the little New Serenne Stable.We recommend making some sticky elixirs (it's wet in here), but at the top you'll find the bandanna in a shrine. Inside you'll see a lot of rocks jutting out - the challenge is to climb all the way up them to the highest point of the cave. Climber's Bandanna (head): For this one, head to Ploymus Mountain Cave, just west of Zora's Domain and down the cliffs from Lulu Lake.How to get: Spread across Hyrule, this set is found in both the Zora's Domain and West of the Castle. Starting Defense: 9 total (3 per piece worn).Location: North Hyrule Plain Cave (body), Upland Zorana Byroad (legs), Ploymus Mountain Cave (head).Unlike other TOTK best armor suggestions on this list, we recommend getting the full set of Climbing gear thanks to its speedy buffs while scaling even the highest peaks. However, when sets do exist, there's often a bonus that comes with wearing the full ensemble, even more than the individual perks given by each piece. Some armor comes in sets of three that cover all parts of the body, while other armor is unique to a single part of the body (such as a lot of unique helmets). Armor is broken up into three categories in this game, depending on whether you wear it on your torso, head or legs. You can scroll down or use the tags at the side to find more details on how to get that armor, or find out why it's so good! Otherwise there's a few things to remember: when it comes to the best armor in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, the first thing to note is that you don't always need the full outfit. Ancient Hero's Aspect (Full Body piece): Best protection when fully upgraded.


Climbing Gear (Set): Increases climbing speed.Champion's Leathers (Torso): High defense.
