In the past Legend of Zelda games, Link often had a few tunics to choose from, each with different powers intended for use in specific puzzles and scenarios. In Breath of the Wild, however, there are many different armor sets and outfits and other wearable pieces, many of which can be upgraded at a Great Fairy Fountain, if you have the right ingredients in your inventory.
It can get a little overwhelming trying to keep track of how to obtain and upgrade each and every item. To help, we’ve assembled this guide detailing the armor, outfits, jewelry, and masks of Breath of the Wild, with the set bonuses, upgrade components, base defense and prices listed, where applicable. Now get crackin’!
