The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom contains an overwhelming amount of armor sets for the player to collect. Many of them build on the sense of nostalgia players feel for the beloved series, and reference past games while providing protection and set bonuses. One such armor set is the Armor of the Wind Set, a charming homage to Wind Waker. This guide goes through all the ways to acquire this armor set in Tears of the Kingdom.
The Armor of the Wind Set Amiibo
The easiest way to get the Armor of the Wind Set in Tears of the Kingdom is to scan the Toon Link Wind Waker Amiibo. The Amiibo can be scanned once daily and has the chance to drop various Wind Waker related items including fish, a Sea-Breeze Boomerang, and pieces of the Armor of the Wind set. Alternatively, the pieces of the set can be purchased from Bargainer Statues after scanning the Amiibo.
How to Get the Armor of the Wind in Tears of the Kingdom
Tears of the Kingdom has introduced ways to get previously Amiibo-exclusive items without having to scan an Amiibo. Here are the locations of all the pieces of the set.
How to Get The Cap of the Wind
The Cap of the Wind is located underneath the pinned point on Davdi Island in the Depths, at coordinates 4653, 0622, - 0723. Players that don't have this section of the Depths unlocked can place a pin on this point in the Surface to serve as a guide in the Depths. The nearest Lightroot to illuminate this section is Sisinatag Lightroot underneath Gatanisis Shrine.
The best entry point is Tingel Island Chasm at coordinates 4708, 1308, 0119. The chasm is only a small opening, but enough to paraglide into safely.
From here, head South until Link hits the first of three breakable boulders. Break these using Bombs or a Hammer and continue directly south to the next boulders.
Break the next set of boulders that Link comes across. These boulders are a lot easier to find if the area is lit up, so bring some Brightbloom Seeds or head to the nearest Lightroot to illuminate the area.
The final set of boulders is blue. Light up the area again to find the boulders and break them as previously done.
After traversing this tunnel, Link should emerge onto a high ledge and see a chest in the pinned location.
This chest contains the Cap of the Wind.
How to Get the Tunic of the Wind
The Tunic of the Wind is significantly easier to find, located at coordinates -3787, 1344, - 0682 in the Depths.
Head south from the Abandoned Hebra Mine accessible from the Rito Village Chasm at coordinates -3571, 1803, 0119. The most challenging part here is scaling the cliffs that are in the way, so be sure to bring Energizing Meals and Elixirs.
The Tunic is located in a chest on an illuminated platform in the Cuho Canyon Mine.
How to Get the Trousers of the Wind
The Trousers of the Wind are located in the Cresia Pit Mine at the southeast corner of the map at coordinates 3794, - 3616, - 0445. There are several ways to get to this point, but the easiest seems to be to descend from Meda Mountain Chasm. While the chasm is further away than the Eventide Island Chasm, there is a clearer path that players can follow by pinning the location on the surface.
Once the player is at Cresia Pit Mine, they can use the Zonai Devices to the right to construct a boat or raft to cross the water. There are Octoroks in the way, but they aren't too destructive.
The Trousers of the Wind are in the chest located on the platform at the end of the river.
Armor of the Wind Set Bonus and Upgrade Materials
When worn together, the Armor of the Wind Set offers a slight attack bonus. Overall, it is not the most useful piece of armor, but great for completionists and nostalgic fans to have. As well as this, players can upgrade the defense of this set with Great Fairies and the following materials per item:
One-Star (5 Defense):
- Opal x5
