How to get the Zora Armor set in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Billy Givens

You may have noticed a lot of waterfalls coming down from the sky in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, especially if you’ve been exploring in or around Lanayru and Zora’s Domain. If you’re wondering whether you can use them in any way, the answer is a resounding yes — provided you’ve got the right armor. You’ll need at least one piece of Zora’s Armor set to swim up waterfalls, but there are three pieces in total for you to find. We’ve got the locations of all three pieces listed for you below.

How to get Zora’s Armor in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

There are three pieces of Zora’s Armor set, but you’ll only need one if you want to swim up waterfalls. The chest piece – known simply as Zora’s Armor – can be obtained with relative ease, so we recommend aiming for that first. Regardless of which piece(s) you decide to go for, though, here are all their locations.

Zora’s Helm

While there is a quest attached to finding Zora’s Helm, you can technically get it anytime after you’ve obtained Zora’s Armor (see the next listing). Just swim up the waterfall to the island known as Floating Scales Island, which is easily accessible from Mipha’s Court.

While on this fish-shaped island, go to the back fin and look over the right side. You’ll see some sludge along the sides of the fish. Throw a Splash Fruit at it to reveal an opening. Use your paraglider to get inside and find Zora’s Helm in a chest.

Zora’s Armor

Unlocking Zora’s Armor requires you to visit Zora’s Domain and speak with Yona at the infirmary. This will start a quick quest where you’ll have to throw a Splash Fruit at a statue to cleanse it.

Afterward, speak to Yona once more at the infirmary one level up, where she’ll mention Zora’s Armor, requesting that you bring her an ancient arowana fish to repair it. You can find a couple of these rare fish up on Ploymus Mountain right behind Zora’s Domain, so grab one and take it to her to receive Zora’s Armor.

Zora’s Greaves

Getting Zora’s Greaves will require you to have fully completed the “Sidon of the Zora” main quest, which begins at the same place you receive Zora’s Armor (see the listing above). After the cutscene with Sidon, you’ll have to seek Yona out once more in Zora’s Domain, where she’ll inform you that she can’t find Zora’s Greaves. This will begin the “A Token of Friendship” quest. To complete it, you’ll need to make your way to the Ancient Zora Waterworks, which you’ve explored once before during the main quest.

You’ll find a hole behind the large pillar in the waterworks, and dropping down it will engage you with a Stone Talus boss. You don’t have to fight this big fellow if you don’t want to – feel free to run past him and continue to the waterfall in the back of the room. Behind this waterfall is where you’ll find the chest containing Zora’s Greaves.

How to get the Thunderbolt of Zeus in Fortnite
Thunderbolt of Zeus

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is underway and has brought with it some significant changes to the battle royale map that should shake up things quite a lot. This season is all about ancient gods descending onto the map, which is quite obvious by its multiple mythical locations like Mount Olympus and the Underworld. But these new landing spots aren't the only thing the gods have brought with them to Fortnite, as players can also get their hands on godly new items like the Wings of Icarus and Thunderbolt of Zeus. In this guide, we'll tell you where to find the latter and how it works.
How to get the Thunderbolt of Zeus and how it works
You can find the Thunderbolt of Zeus by defeating Zeus at Mount Olympus or by searching in Olympus Chests or Underworld Chests. It can also rarely be found in standard and rare chests.

This powerful lightning-based item can seriously dish out the hurt — provided you can use it in a situation where you won't be easily shot out of the sky. By pressing the fire button, you leap into the sky to begin unleashing a series of three massive lightning bolts on foes beneath you, with the first two bolts fired out rapidly and the final one a bit slower. You'll only get a total of three charges with this devastating weapon, so you'll want to be certain you make the most of each use and only let loose with it when you feel confident you can wrap up a kill.

How to get Wings of Icarus in Fortnite
Wings of Icarus

The gods have taken over the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 battle royale map, bringing a ton of new visual flairs across the game world and some fresh locations based on ancient Greek mythology, like Mount Olympus and the Underworld. There's a lot of cool new stuff to see, but there are also some exciting godly items that have been added to the loot pool this season: Thunderbolt of Zeus and Wings of Icarus. If you want to take flight with the Wings of Icarus, we've got all the info you need about this item below.
Where to get Wings of Icarus and how they work
The Wings of Icarus can be found in Olympus Chests or Underworld Chests. They can also rarely be found on the ground and in standard or rare chests.

This incredibly fun mobility item lets you press the fire button to begin flying through the air. You'll start with 300 charges that will count down rapidly as you're soaring around, but it's usually enough to take you pretty far across the map when you need to reposition or escape the incoming storm. However, it's worth noting that the relatively slow speed of taking off and flying doesn't make the Wings of Icarus the best mid-battle escape tool, so it's not usually wise to use it while you're being shot at.

If you can’t get enough Palworld, try these great games next

Palworld took the world by storm following its early access launch on January 19. It peaked at over 2.1 million concurrent players on Steam, selling over 12 million copies on that platform alone and amassing at least 7 million more purchases via Xbox Game Pass. That means you’ve probably played it at this point, even if you aren’t playing many other video games right now. Thankfully, the melting pot -- or derivative, depending on who you ask -- design of Palworld makes it a gateway game to several other amazing titles.

From fellow captivating survival crafting titles to games in other genres that Palworld has pulled features and inspiration from, there’s a lot to try out if you're looking to branch out and play some other games the next time you take a break from Palworld. In particular, we recommend playing the following five titles to get a better idea of where Palworld's inspiration came from and where it might go in the future.
