Armor

Armor is a new class of items and game mechanic in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Armor serve a variety of purposes, primarily defensive, allowing him to endure more damage. Certain pieces of Armor can also protect Link from the elements similar to the Goron Tunic from Ocarina of Time.

For the first time in a Zelda game, Link can choose to unequipped his armor completely. When all armor is unequipped, Link will appear bare chested and bare foot, wearing only a pair of boxer shorts that feature the Sheikah Emblem.
