Ranking EVERY Armor Set in Tears Of The Kingdom from WORST to BEST

Do you disagree with my rankings? What do you think is the best armor in Tears of the kingdom?

Justice for the glide set and froggy set. Quite literally everything casual players have ever asked for

Glide suit is S tier. Not many people know of the fast paraglide trick. When skydiving with the glide suit, if you push forward, then press B, then X. When you pull out your paraglider it carries over the momentum from your diving speed. Very useful even into end game.

The froggy armor is amazing in caves. So many times caves are damp as all hell and incredibly irritating to traverse, froggy is a lifesaver, especially with the set buff.

0:32 Archaic Set 0:54 Barbarians Set 1:37 Charged Set 2:42 Climbing Set 3:53 Dark Link Armor Set 4:43 Depths Set 5:41 Desert Voe Set 6:30 Amber Set 8:00 Evil Spirit Set 10:12 Fierce Diety's Set 10:58 Diamond Circlet 12:03 Midnas Helmet 12:48 Flamebreaker Set 13:36 Froggy Set 14:22 Frostbite Set 16:00 Glide Set 17:46 Various Hero Sets 18:14 Hero of the Wild Set 18:44 Hylian Set 19:10 Champions Leathers 19:55 Miner Set 21:07 Mystic Set 22:17 Phantom Set 23:13 Radiant set 24:19 Divine Helms 24:51 Royal Guards Set 25:30 Rubber Set 26:31 Snowquill Set 27:30 Soldier's Set 28:18 Stealth Set 29:16 Tingle Set 29:38 Yiga Set 30:17 Zonaite Set 31:15 Zora Set 32:09 Ancient Hero's Aspect

Honestly the Dark Link armor set could've been so much cooler if it had something better than night speed up. Something as simple like buffing you in the depths and at night could be a massive improvment. Alternatively, maybe it could make Link stronger the more corrupted/ gloom hearts Link has.

Let me say this: Just because the game gives you other ways to deal with something, like foods for being hot or cold or sticky, or seeds for glowing, or glider for falling, does not determine whether an armor piece is objectively good or not. Maybe we like switching to armor more than consuming food. And you can always eat an attack or defense food to replicate armor effects if we're going to use that logic.

I think the stealth set is severely underrated because it just makes doing EVERYTHING easier especially with night speed up. I’m never short on any bugs, frogs, fish or lizards for armour upgrades because I wear it all the time.

The glide suit should be rated A tear I find it very useful because I'm often in the air.

The Desert Voe set is perfect for exploring the desert tho. With the mix of electric enemies such as yellow chuchus and electric Lizalfos, the set bonus really comes in handy.

Just like in BOTW, Lightning Helm makes Rubber set redundant. Zant's Helmet also has the unfreezable ability but provides no cold resistance as weird as that is. So in areas where there are ice enemies but not cold weather, it's a viable piece to mix with other armors you'd rather be using. Or just make cold resistance food

The divine helms actually have a secret bonus that increases their corresponding sages attack power by an additional 50% on top of the 30% from the solemn upgrades

there are some caves that are always slippery and the only way to completely remove slippage is froggy set so it does have some useage that cannot be replaced

I think upgrade materials should have been taken more into account for this tier list. For example, the hylian set should be placed higher imo Yes it has no per piece bonuses or even a set bonus for wearing them but, it is also incredibly easy to upgrade it compared with a lot of other armors. Being able to have it more fully upgraded early on is really good and I wore it most of the time I play, making use of potions and foods for cold or heat resistance etc. It's just much more of a hassle to upgrade some of the armor sets in the game than you get kinda stuck on some unless you purposefully go and farm items to upgrade them. While the hylian set you can almost pretty much passively farm it from regular play. No going out of your way for a lot of it. Also I don't make use of duplication glitches so the time to farm and get things is actually a factor to me. If you can just duplicate materials then yes the hylian set is gonna be bad cause you just duplicate the materials and diamonds for rupees to get everything upgraded and the hylian set's strength is just thrown out the window with exploits.

I feel like the amber earrings deserve a spot on this list. They have 28 defense by themselves

Divine helms also add a damage bonus for the corresponding sage. So they do have some unique attributes that cannot be got with other armor. Plus the cosmetic on some is awesome

stealth suit is actually very good at collecting critters

13:24 The fire immunity passive is actually very helpful for cheesing a couple shrines, and makes you basically immune to the Fire Lizalfos, Fire Chuchu, Fire Wizzrobe and other fire based enemies. It’s definitely at least a low B tier. Also burning weather is the only weather that occurs in the Depths as well as the over world.

Korok Mask - Helps you find nearby Koroks. S+ tier armor.

Glide set is one of the most useful sets in the game, combined with Tulin and max stamina or stamina foods, you can get most anywhere from a Sky tower without needing to autobuild a device every time
