The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Equipment & Upgrades

The Equipment & Upgrades category in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild focuses on enhancing Link's gear and inventory to improve his survival and combat capabilities. Armor sets and their locations are a key part of this category, as different sets provide unique bonuses such as increased defense, stealth, or resistance to environmental effects. Players can find armor in shops, hidden chests, or by completing specific quests. Upgrading armor requires visiting Great Fairy Fountains and collecting specific materials like monster parts, gems, or plants, which vary depending on the armor set. Ancient technology upgrades involve using ancient materials obtained from Guardians and shrines to enhance Sheikah technology-based gear, such as the Ancient Armor set or weapons, at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. Inventory expansion is another important aspect, as players can increase their weapon, bow, and shield slots by finding and trading Korok Seeds with Hestu. Finally, the best gear setups depend on the situation, with some players favoring high-defense armor for combat, stealth gear for sneaking, or elemental resistance sets for exploring extreme environments. This category helps players optimize their equipment to tackle the game's challenges effectively.
