Because Link, the amnesia protagonist of “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” was awakened from a century-long sleep due to a mission assigned by a mysterious voice to defeat Calamity Ganon, the character needs protection provided by armors. But the armors are not just to provide Link with defensive padding, it also allows him to endure more damage. Early adopters of the game have searched his wardrobe and discovered at least 11 armors.

11 Armors

But the armors of “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” character Link go beyond protecting him from the elements. It could also be a liability such as the armor made of metal which could attract lightning during a thunderstorm and imperil his health. GameSpot has so far found 11 armors. These are the Champion’s Tunic; Snowquill Headdress, Tunic and Trousers; Gerudo Veil, Top, and Sirwal; Flamebreaker Helmet, Armor, and Boots; Zora Armor; Old Shirt and Well-Worn Pants; Warm Doublet; Hylian Hood, Tunic, and Trousers; Soldier’s Armor, Greaves, and Helmet; and Ancient Armor.

The Hylian Tunic is a light but sturdy cloth that would not limit Link’s movement. Like many of us, the character of “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” loves wearing the Old Shirt which is already thin because of its age, causing it to come apart at the seams. In colder areas, he wears the Warm Doublet.

Role Of Fairies In Upgrading Armor

RPG Site notes that while a lot of “The Legend of Zelda” are not present in “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wil,” the Great Fairy and their Fountains are there. Although the Great Fairy Fountains are mainly optional and easy to miss in the game’s 19th main installment that comes with the Nintendo Switch as a launch title, they have a purpose. But it is not to heal the player but to accept rupees as down payment to upgrade the armor.

According to GameSpot, while at the Tal’oh Neag Shrine in Kakariko Village, in a plant pod in a forest clearing, the Great Fairy Cotera is hiding. To reawaken her powers, the player must pay 100 rupees. The second fairy costs 500 rupees, the third 1,000 rupees to help, and the final fairy 10,000 rupees to join the cause in “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.” The services of the fairies are free after making down payments. But to upgrade each outfit, there are a specific set of items and materials to turn over to upgrade, but no more payments for it.
