Every Armor Set in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (& What They Look Like)

This article is part of a directory: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Complete Guide & Walkthrough

Table of contents

Save for the occasional resistance-granting tunic, armor didn't really play much of a role in the Legend of Zelda series until Breath of the Wild came along. The initial release of the 2017 title boasted 20 different armor sets, with three more added as part of the Master Trials DLC. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom takes things to a whole new level though, with 34 full armor sets available for players at launch as well as a myriad of headpieces, masks, and other standalone outfit items.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Every Miscellaneous Outfit Piece (& How to Get Them)

Tears of the Kingdom offers up plenty of options when it comes to customization, with a wide range of outfits for players to track down and try out.

Those hoping to track down every armor set in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are going to have their work cut out for them, as some require a ridiculous amount of work to obtain. In the meantime, players can at least get an idea of how to get every armor set in Tears of the Kingdom, as well as what they all look like and what each set's stats and set bonuses are once they've been fully upgraded by the Great Fairies.

Updated April 11, 2024, by Tom Bowen: TotK armor sets come in all shapes and sizes, providing players with plenty of options as they navigate the dangers that lay before them. The task remains a somewhat daunting one, for sure, but tracking down every armor set in Tears of the Kingdom has never been easier. The following guide will explain not only how and where to find all of the TotK armor sets, but also how to upgrade them, and how to get some of the rare materials that are needed to do so. Players can also learn more about the passive and set bonuses that are provided by certain TotK armor sets, as well as what each of the sets looks like when Link is wearing it. Simply put, this guide should serve as a one-stop shop for all things armor and a valuable resource for those hoping to find and fully upgrade every Tears of the Kingdom armor set.

This guide will feature all of the TotK armor sets. However, individual items of clothing, such as helms, masks, and other headgear will not be included, nor will tunics, boots, or anything else that does not belong to a three-piece armor set. The Ancient Hero's Aspect will be included, however, as the game effectively treats it as though it's a complete set.
