Froggy Armor Quests Table.

Zora Armor

Best Armor With Unique Effect.

For instance, swimming allows you to go through waterfalls and boosts your speed. If you can get all three pieces, doing a dash swim decreases stamina consumption. The Zora Armor set includes Zora Helm, Zora Armor, and Zora Greaves.

4. Find the Zora Greaves in a treasure chest behind the waterfall.
5. Coordinates: 3586, 0247, -0103.

Frostbite Armor

Best Frost Armor Set.

And secondly, it boosts up your striking power when you are in such a cold environment. The Frostbite Armor includes a Shirt, Trousers, and an Headdress.

Location

• Frostbite Shirt: Found in Brightcap Cave in Tabantha Frontier. Pass two chatting characters at the entrance, proceed through the cave, and burn shrubs with fire fruit for a clear path. The Frostbite Shirt is inside.

Frostbite Trousers:

• Found at the Herbra Headspring with ice walls.
• Look for a hole in one of the ice walls.
• Inside, you’ll find a chest containing the trousers.

Frostbite Headdress:

• Located in Lake Kilsie Cave in the Hebra Mountains.
• Reach the cave from the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower using a paraglider.
• Inside, you’ll encounter the Horriblin enemy (optional).
• Clear the path blocked by icicles using fire fruit or a Bomb Flower.
• Collect the Frostbite Headdress from the chest on the right.

Ember Armor

Best Warm Climate Armor Set.

Location

Ember Shirt:

• Located in the Goronbi River Cave in the Eldin Canyon area.
• Requires Flame Guard or Flamebreaker armor to withstand the lava.
• Navigate through the cave while dealing with enemies.
• Cross the lava river using rocky platforms.

• Reach the surface and continue further to discover a chest with the Ember Headdress.

Hylian Armor

Best Early-Game Armor.

This set includes Hood, Tunic, and Trousers. You can upgrade it to boost up the defensive stats. Another notable point of Hylian Armor is that it doesn’t limit movement.

Location

You can obtain this set from the shop located in Lookout Landing. The Hood will cost you 70 Rupees, the Trousers will cost 120 Rupees, and Hylian Tunic will cost 130 Rupees.

What Is My Recommendation?

I recommend going with the Hylian armor for the early game, as it qualifies for offering decent defenses for your character. However, if you are seeking an all-rounder with perfect armor, then Zonaite is the perfect choice. Not only does it aid with Zonai aspects, but it also enhances the defense in crucial times.

I have picked the top armor that seems more reliable than the others. I hope that by reading this guide, you have got the idea of all these armor. Happy gaming!
