What's the best armor in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild from a fashion perspective? It's one thing to beat Calamity Ganon and save Hyrule, but it's another thing entirely to look good while doing it. Some players are satisfied with simply getting the most powerful armor, or whatever armor has the best set bonuses, but for those that wouldn't be caught dead dressing the hero of Hyrule in some drab costume, there are plenty of wardrobe options. Here are the best ways to keep Link looking chic.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was released in March 2017 for both the Wii U and the Nintendo Switch. The game immediately made a mark for its beautiful cel-shading and gorgeously immersive open world. Although there was an inevitable backlash among vocal gamers (who best 3D Legend of Zelda games ever. By all indications, the Breath of the Wild 2 looks to be more of the same.
Including DLC and amiibo, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has 24 armor sets and dozens of individual head, body, and leg gear items that can be mixed and matched to achieve a unique aesthetic. A quick trip to the dye hut can further customize Link's look. Check out some of the most dashing ensembles in the game.
BOTW's Fierce Deity Armor
The Fierce Deity Armor is styled after Link's transformation while wearing the Fierce Deity's Mask in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. To acquire the set in Zelda: BOTW, players must scan the Majora's Mask amiibo once per day until all four armor parts are obtained via random drop - the Fierce Deity mask, armor, boots, and sword. The cool gray and blue color scheme with burgundy accents is perfect for rounding up bokoblins during a Blood Moon, but the set's focal aesthetic is all about Link's glowing eyes and ghostly hair.
BOTW's Dark Armor Set
Much like the Fierce Deity Armor set, Breath of the Wild's Dark Armor set is capped off by Link's glowing eyes and ghostly hair. Unlike the Fierce Deity Armor set, however, the simple black-and-white array of the Dark Armor set just oozes a sinister aura that seems almost trendy because of how out-of-place it feels in Hyrule.
Players wanting to don the Dark Armor set in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will first need to defeat the four Divine Beasts. Then head over to the nearest Fang and Bone, the secret traveling merchant only found at night. Come prepared with rare monster parts; that's the merchant's currency of choice.
BOTW's Ancient Armor Set
Any gamers who are gunning for guardians in Zelda: BOTW will be certainly be interested in the Ancient Armor's ability to lower the damage taken from guardians. Even if hunting guardians isn't on the agenda, the Ancient Armor set will be useful to any players who want their Link to look like he means business. In addition, the orange-and-blue lighted accents give off a vaguely 1980s Tron vibe. The Ancient Armor set can be found in the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab.
