Do you like swimming in Tears of the Kingdom? Personally, I’d rather fly around than swim, but I get why it’s necessary sometimes. Obtaining the Zora armor set makes it much easier, though, especially if you have to swim up a waterfall or long distances and run out of stamina constantly. If you want to learn more, continue reading to discover how to get the Zora armor set in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Where to Find the Zora Armor Set in Tears of the Kingdom (TOTK)
Here are the three pieces of Zora armor you can get in Tears of the Kingdom:
To begin collecting each Zora armor piece, head toZora’s Domainand speak toYona, the caretaker of the Zora.

How to Get the Zora Helm in Tears of the Kingdom
Equipping the first piece of Zora Armor allows you toswim up waterfallsand access the high mountains of Zora’s Domain. However, our next destination is even higher than this:Floating Scales Island, east of Zora’s Domain. To get here, head out of Zora’s Domain and towardMikau Lakeuntil you see a waterfall. Ascend it with your newly-acquired Zora Armor equipped and swim up the other waterfalls you encounter.
Once you reach the top, pick upIhen-a Shrineas a fast travel point before going east intoMipha Court. You’ll noticeFloating Scales Islandwith a waterfall descending off its side. Glide over here and swim up to reach the island! It’ll be full of sludge, which you can avoid or wash away before going to the opposite side atcoordinates (4124, 0510, 0592).
If you accidentally miss the jump like I initially did, you can use the waterfall to swim back up before reaching the spot again.
When you arrive here, look over the side to see sludge covering the walls that you can clear away to reveal asmall cave entrance. Climb in here and follow the passage to find achestyou can open to obtain theZora Helm!With it equipped, you’ll swim faster and unlock a spin attack exclusive to swimming!

Searching For the Zora Greaves in TotK
Once you complete the Sidon of the Zora quest line and clear the sludge from Zora’s Domain, return toYonaatcoordinates (3310, 0486, 0150)to discuss your accomplishments. She’ll tell you about Jiahto finding ancient texts regarding theZora Greavesand that they were last spotted in theAncient Zora Waterworks. With this new information, we can officially begin our search duringthe Token of Friendship quest.
To begin, return to the whirlpool atcoordinates (3615, 0121, 0191)and traverse down the cavern until you reach the underground tower again. Unlike before, this tower no longer has a glowing blue light, and the area isn’t completely submerged in water. This lack of water is one main reason you had to finish the quest line first!
With that said, head toward this tower and veer left before circling around its back. You’ll find a hole atcoordinates (3663, 0331, -0048). Once you jump down and land in the water, you’ll notice this is a brand-new area you have yet to explore. From here, you’re almost at the end!
As you run through the cave and past the stone pillars, aStone Talusenemy will appear out of the ground. You can defeat it if you’d like, but we can run past it behind thenearby waterfall.Just past the waterfall, you’ll find a small stone platform with a chest atcoordinates (3589, 0249, -0103)containing theZora Greaves.
With that final chest open, you’ve found all three pieces of theZora armor setin The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Now, you can use this equipment to swim quickly up waterfalls and improve your aquatic combat abilities!
