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 still has its own effect on top. Of the 35 sets, 30 have a bonus; the Hylian, Soldier’s, Mystic, Phantom and Archaic sets do not. Upgrades cost 10, 50, 200 and 500 rupees per star, plus materials.

The Ancient Hero’s Aspect is the exception. The table lists it under head, but the one piece fills the head, body and leg slots and cannot be worn with any other armor, so its 84 at four stars compares with the total of a full three-piece set. Its upgrades also cost three times as much (30, 150, 600 and 1,500 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.

The six jewelry pieces from the Gerudo Town jewelry shop and the five monster masks from Koltin belong to no set; prices, effects and upgrade materials are on jewelry and monster masks.
