How to Get and Use Armor in Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Pieces of armor are throughout Hyrule in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. You can buy some armor pieces in shops in villages and others you can discover in Shrines. Some of the best armors are rewards for completing adventures within the main story quest or finishing side quests. It pays to be curious: Open chests when you find them, go into stores, do side quests, and you’ll find great armor sets. Once you’ve got a piece of armor in your inventory, put it on by selecting it, pressing A, and then selecting Equip and pressing A again.
How to Get Armor Upgrades in Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Each piece of armor offers unique protection and effects. You can enhance its power and effectiveness by upgrading your armor. Upgrades for each piece of armor in BOTW use different ingredients, so it pays to collect as many monster parts, precious stones, Guardian parts, and animals as you can. To upgrade your armor, go to a Fairy Fountain. You can find the Fairy Fountains here: Fairies take your current armor and the items in your inventory to upgrade your armor sets to be even more effective. When you have awoken one fairy, you can upgrade armor by one level. With two fairies awake, you can upgrade armor by two levels, and so on.
