The Zora Armor is a Tunic in Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild.
Location and Uses
Twilight Princess
The Zora Armor is given to Link by Queen Rutela after delivering Prince Ralis to Kakariko Village safely. It is located behind the Kakariko Village Graveyard under the tomb of the King Zora, its creator.[1][2]
The Zora Armor allows Link to breathe underwater when equipped. It also allows him to swim underwater.[3] If combined with the Iron Boots, Link can also walk on the ocean floor. However, wearing the armor makes Link more vulnerable to fire and ice attacks.[4]
Breath of the Wild
In Breath of the Wild, The Zora Armor was hand crafted specifically for Link by the Zora Princess and Champion Mipha. Link receives it from King Dorephan 100 years later. The Zora Armor increases Link's swim speed and allows him to swim up Waterfalls. The rest of the Armor set, such as the Zora Helm and the Zora Greaves, can be found separately. The full set gives Link the Swim Dash Stamina Up set bonus.
