The Armor of the Wild returns in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom as a classic homage to iconic Hero outfits. Unlike its predecessor where completing all shrines was required, acquiring this nostalgic set in Tears of the Kingdom takes players deep underground into the vast Depths. Locating every piece and gathering the necessary enhancement resources requires careful preparation and dedicated exploration.

Finding the Armor Pieces in the Depths

Each component of the Armor of the Wild is hidden inside treasure chests housed within ancient Dark Skeletons across the Depths map. The Cap of the Wild is tucked inside the mouth of the Hebra Dark Skeleton in the northwest region. Meanwhile, the Tunic of the Wild is located within the Gerudo Dark Skeleton, and the Trousers of the Wild reside at the Eldin Dark Skeleton. Navigating these subterranean landmarks requires plenty of Brightbloom Seeds and light sources to safely reach the chest locations.

Gathering Lower Tier Upgrade Materials

To begin strengthening the set at Great Fairy Fountains, players need simple forest materials and elemental dragon parts. Upgrading to Tier 1 requires Acorns alongside Farosh's Scales for each piece. Moving up to Tier 2 demands Courser Bee Honey and Farosh's Claws to boost defense stats further. Farmers can easily source Acorns from squirrels or fallen trees, while honeys are found near hives scattered throughout forest regions.

Advanced Enhancements and Dragon Farming

Reaching the final two upgrade tiers requires harvesting rarer items from the dragon Farosh as well as Star Fragments. Tier 3 calls for Energetic Rhino Beetles, Shards of Farosh's Spike, and Farosh's Fangs. The final Tier 4 upgrade relies on Star Fragments, Farosh's Horns, and additional spike shards. Riding Farosh along its flight path in the Depths and surface is necessary to strike specific body parts for these dragon materials.

Set Bonuses and Practical Utility

Once all three pieces are upgraded to Tier 2 or higher, Link receives the Master Sword Beam Up set bonus. This perk enhances the damage dealt by the energy projection of the Master Sword when Link is at full health. Fully upgraded armor provides substantial defense capabilities, making it both a stylish tribute and a powerful asset for endgame challenges. Balancing defense with iconic green aesthetics makes this set a highly rewarding collectible for dedicated completionists.
