Discover how to obtain the complete Zora Armor set in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Includes locations for the Zora Armor, Zora Greaves, and Zora Helm.
The Zora Armor set in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is essential for navigating Hyrule's watery regions. This guide details how to acquire each piece of the set.
Zora Armor: This is obtained as part of the main quest. After clearing the muck off a statue in Zora's Domain, trade Yona an Ancient Arowana to complete its repair. You'll be granted the Zora Armor, which allows faster swimming and the ability to swim up waterfalls. You only need this piece to complete the Water Temple, and the other two pieces are inaccessible until you speak with Yona and Chroma after clearing Sidon.
Zora Greaves: After completing the Water Temple, speak with Yona in Zora's Domain to start the 'A Token of Friendship' side quest. This quest directs you back to the Ancient Zora Waterworks. Return to East Reservoir Lake and jump into the whirlpool. Navigate to the first room, find the large pillar, and walk behind it to discover a hole. Jump down, and you'll encounter a Stone Talus. Continue past it to find a waterfall. Go through the waterfall to find the Zora Greaves.
Zora Helm: Speak with Chroma and Khira in the throne room in Zora's Domain to start the quest 'The Never-Ending Lecture.' They will inform you that the Zora Helm is located on a fish island, the same island where you previously shot an arrow to access the Ancient Zora Waterworks. Return to Mipha Court and use your Zora Armor to ride the waterfall back up. Look towards the edge of the island for the entrance to a small cave, easily visible from the island's edge. Glide down into the cave to find the chest containing the Zora Helm.
Upgrading the Zora Armor Set: The Zora set can be upgraded at a Great Fairy Fountain. It has a base defense of 3. Upgrades enhance swimming speed and stamina efficiency for dashing. Each upgrade level must be performed three times for each armor piece.
| Defense Level | Items Needed | Rupees Needed |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | x3 Lizalfos Horn | 10 |
| 8 | x5 Lizalfos Talons, x5 Hyrule Bass | 50 |
| 12 | x5 Blue Lizalfos Horn, x3 Lizalfos Tails, x3 Hearty Bass | 200 |
| 20 | x5 Black Lizalfos horns , x5 Blue Lizalfos Tails, x20 Opal | 500 |
To upgrade your armor to level 20, you need all four Great Fairies unlocked. The Zora set is relatively easy to upgrade as Lizalfos are common enemies, and Opals can be mined from Ore Deposits.
