How do set bonuses work?
A set bonus switches on when you wear all three pieces of the same set and every piece is upgraded to at least two stars at a Great Fairy Fountain. Each piece keeps its own effect. The Hylian, Soldier’s and Phantom sets have no bonus (the Phantom set only has a hidden effect). Upgrades in Breath of the Wild cost materials only, no rupees.
To change a color, visit the Kochi Dye Shop in Hateno Village: 20 rupees plus five materials of one color. Which materials give each color, and which armor cannot be dyed, is on the Kochi Dye Shop page.
Which sets have their own page?
Each page has where to find every piece, the set bonus, defense at every star and the full upgrade path:

Pieces from the DLC and amiibo that belong to no set, such as Majora’s Mask and Sheik’s Mask, are on DLC and amiibo single armor.
The six jewelry pieces from the Gerudo Town jewelry shop and Kilton’s four monster masks belong to no set either; prices and upgrade materials are on jewelry and monster masks.
Many upgrade materials come from big monsters: see the Lynel and Hinox location pages. The amiibo pieces are listed on amiibo rewards.
FAQ
How many armor pieces are in Breath of the Wild?
107 in this table, counting DLC and amiibo pieces: 47 head pieces, 31 body pieces and 29 leg pieces. 39 are in chests, 26 are sold in shops, 17 come from amiibo and 6 are quest rewards.
Which armor has the highest defense?
The Champion's Tunic, which reaches 32 at four stars. Most upgradeable sets go from 3 to 20; the Ancient and Soldier's sets and the Divine Helms go from 4 to 28.
When does a set bonus switch on?
When you wear all three pieces of a set and each is upgraded to at least two stars. 23 of the 26 sets have one; the Hylian, Soldier's and Phantom sets do not.
Where do these numbers come from?
Defense, upgrade materials and set membership come from the game's own item data, and chest positions from the game's placement data.
