The Twilight Armor makes Link in Tears of the Kingdom look like Link from Twilight Princess. Here’s where to find all three pieces of the set.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is arguably the pinnacle of the long-running Nintendo franchise, but the developers made sure to include a throwback to 2006’s Twilight Princess for those of you who long for a time when series protagonist Link was a furry: the Twilight Armor.
Full disclosure: Tears of the Kingdom’s aptly named Twilight Armor doesn’t give you the ability to transform into a wolf. I know, I know, boo hiss. But! It is very stylish. Whatever you may think of Twilight Princess as a game, you gotta admit Link was absolutely dripped out during that bizarre adventure.
In Tears of the Kingdom, you can unlock the Twilight Armor via amiibo. While the randomness and once-a-day limit to amiibo scanning can be frustrating, this may be your best option if you’re still early in the game or otherwise ill equipped for obtaining the Twilight armor under your own auspices. The trials and tribulations leading to each piece — the Cap of Twilight, Tunic of Twilight, and Trousers of Twilight — can be difficult depending on when and how you decide to tackle them.Twilight Armor head piece location
Tears of the Kingdom’s Cap of Twilight is by far the most difficult of the three to grab for one huge reason: It’s guarded by a King Gleeok. And no, you can’t just run into the monstrous creature’s cave, steal the hat, and bounce; you need to kill the damn thing before the chest holding the garment unlocks.
But first things first. If you haven’t spent much time exploring the underground depths, the quickest route to where the Cap of Twilight is being hoarded starts on the surface. Head to Typhlo Ruins Skyview Tower north of the Lost Woods (you know, the place with the giant talking tree) and let the contraption fire you into the sky. Once you’re back in control, orient yourself southwest toward the giant hole emanating malevolent energy. It’s hard to miss.
After you plunge into the chasm and find safe footing in the darkness, your destination is just a short trip northeast to the Gleeok Den.
