Nintendo has had fun with the content of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, with dozens of outfits and pieces of equipment. All offer special effects and/or statistical bonuses, but ultimately there are only a handful that will actually be useful to you during your exploration. Sets, like the Depths ones (see the Suit of Time or Majora’s Mask), are mostly there to provide cheap fan service and there is almost no point in taking them into account during your journey (except for the skin Of course).
- Noticed : This is a 100% subjective list, don’t hesitate to tell us your favorite outfits in the comments.
Outfits: Tips, how it works
- Each piece of equipment is equivalent to a level of the effect attached to this set. By collecting the 3 pieces you will therefore have the bonus at its maximum levelbut it is entirely possible to “mix” outfits to obtain a result that suits you.
- Many sets have additional effects, which can only be unlocked by obtaining the 3 pieces and an upgrade with the great fairies up to level 2. These upgrades require specific resources depending on the type of outfit you want to upgrade.
- Outfits are a central element of the gameplay of BotW and TotK, it is one of the axes of progression to keep an eye on at all times.. If you’re getting hit too hard by monsters, take some time to sit down in front of your gear and see what you can do to better absorb the blows.
Best Outfit for Attack: Demon God Outfit
Super cool, super interesting and comes with a particularly devastating weapon very early in your game. : The Demon God Outfit is absolutely essential if you plan on focusing on pure attack during combat. While sets like the Soldier Armor or the Royal Guard Uniform are preferred for their high defensive value, this outfit and the Barbarian Outfit provide considerable damage boosts. The next step is to go get yourself some Seven Jeweled Scimitars from the Gerudo to amalgamate them with Silver Lynel Horns. Once the outfit is complete, no enemy in the game should resist you.
Best Starter Outfit: Spectre Armor
Yes, this armor inspired by one of the Zelda games on the DS had managed to sneak into Breath of the Wild via a DLC.. This time the specter set is included as standard in the game and it is excellent to start your game, too bad it doesn’t look like much. Impossible to improve, which makes it not very useful in the medium term, the specter armor still grants a defense of 24 once the 3 pieces are collected, it is much more than any basic armor without improvement. But that won’t necessarily be enough against the world’s toughest enemies.
Best Sky Exploration Outfit: Skydiving Suit
The Wingsuit can be found in the skies of Hyrule by completing freefall objectives and it will be very useful to you, mainly for two reasons: first, its increased air control allows you to control Link with great ease in the air. And second, Its excellent set bonus absolutely negates all fall damage, which is a real boon when you’re doing big sessions on the sky islands.
Best Deep Sea Exploration Outfit: Sonium Outfit
It’s almost mandatory: if you want to explore the depths of the kingdom serenely, you’re going to have to rely on your constructions with Emprise to facilitate all of this. Only the soneaus artifacts are governed by a battery that is not easy to manage: the sonium outfit overcomes this problem by multiplying this gauge by 2 without any effort. For manufacturing enthusiasts, this is truly a must have.
Best Surface Exploration Outfit: Batrachian Outfit
So be careful, many outfits are excellent for facilitating your exploration of the surface, but none are as practical as that of the batrachian. You still have to wait a long time before you can put it on in full, since you will have to give Penn of the Gazette des Bois a hand, by completing the 12 investigations to be carried out in the relays of Hyrule. The objectives are never very far away and they are often quite fun, but doing them all will probably take you about ten hours, especially if you do not have all the towers. Its effect: prevents slipping when climbing in the rain, which makes a huge difference in comfort once level 3 is reached.
