How to Get the Glide Armor Set in Tears of the Kingdom

Learn how to get the Glide Mask, Glide Shirt, and Glide Tights in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Follow our guide to complete skydiving challenges and earn the full set!

Alright, so you're looking to get that sweet Glide Armor set in Tears of the Kingdom? It's a super useful set that makes navigating the skies way easier, and thankfully, it's not too complicated to get. Each piece involves a skydiving challenge on a special island. You can tackle them in any order you like, but I'll walk you through them as they're usually found.

Basically, you'll launch from a Skyview Tower, glide to a specific sky island, find a Steward Construct, complete a practice dive through rings, and then beat a timed version of the same course. Doing the timed challenge gets you the armor piece!

How to Get the Glide Mask in Tears of the Kingdom

First up, let's grab the Glide Mask. You'll want to start at the Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower. Use it to launch yourself high into the sky. Once you're airborne, deploy your Paraglider and keep an eye out for an island to the north. It's got a distinctive pool of water right in the middle. Land on this island and look for a pre-made flying machine. It's got Fans, a Steering Stick, and some Batteries already attached, so it's ready to go!

Hop onto this machine and fly northeast. You're looking for another island, and you'll see a larger landmass above it – that's Valor Island, but you want the smaller island below it. The Batteries on the machine should give you plenty of juice to make it there. Once you land, find the Steward Construct. Chat with it, and it'll tell you all about the dive ceremony. But first, you need to do a practice run.

When the Construct asks if you want to go to the top, say yes. You'll need to jump off from the designated spot and fall through a series of green rings. Don't worry too much if you miss a few or go a bit off course; you can deploy your Paraglider to help adjust your descent. Completing this practice run will unlock a Shrine on the island – go ahead and grab that Light of Blessing. Now, talk to the Steward Construct again. This time, it's the real deal: a timed challenge where you need to complete the same ring course in under 35 seconds.

This dive is a bit more involved, but it's pretty manageable. Just focus on hitting those rings and keeping your momentum. Nail it within the time limit, and you'll be rewarded with the Glide Mask!

How to Get the Glide Shirt in Tears of the Kingdom

Next, let's snag the Glide Shirt. This one's on Courage Island. Your launch point for this is the Lindor's Brow Skyview Tower. After you launch and regain control in the air, look towards the southwest. You should spot the island you need. You'll likely have enough height and be close enough to land right at the top, where you'd normally start the challenge. If you're worried about making it, aim for the lower island where the Construct is.

No matter where you land, the drill is the same. First, run through the course once. This will unlock another Shrine for you. After that, chat with the Construct to trigger the timed challenge. You've got to complete the course in under 35 seconds this time. If you've already grabbed the Glide Mask, equipping it will definitely help with your air mobility!

Complete the timed challenge, and you'll earn the Glide Shirt.

How to Get the Glide Tights in Tears of the Kingdom

Finally, let's get the Glide Tights. This piece can be a *little* trickier than the others, so it's good to have the other two pieces of the set equipped if you can. To start, head to the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower. Once you solve its puzzle and launch into the sky, glide south towards the cluster of islands there. Make your way to the island that has a piston launcher. You might also find a Shrine Quest here called 'The North Hyrule Sky Crystal', which you can do if you want, but it's not essential for the armor.

Your main goal is the island with the boss enemy. From there, look for a spiraling landmass nearby. That's where the skydiving challenge is. Below that, you'll find another island. Glide or dive down to this lower island. If your stamina is running low, don't hesitate to use some food to replenish it – having the other Glide armor pieces will really help conserve stamina here.

Once you land, find the Steward Construct and talk to it to start the diving challenge. The main difference here is that the rings will actually move a bit, making the course a little more dynamic. This is where having the other Glide armor pieces really shines, as they help with maneuvering. Complete the course once to unlock the Shrine, then talk to the Construct again for the timed version. You need to finish in under 35 seconds, which shouldn't be too tough, especially with the set bonus. Successfully completing this timed challenge will reward you with the Glide Tights.

And there you have it! With all three pieces, you'll have the full Glide Armor set, which is amazing for reducing fall damage and generally making traversal much smoother.
