TotK Hero Set: Cap, Tunic and Trousers of the Hero Locations

The Hero set dresses Link as the hero of the first Legend of Zelda. All three pieces are in chests in the Depths, and the full set gives Attack Up once each piece has two stars. The other six hero sets are on the hero sets overview; every set is in all armor.

Where do you find each piece of the Hero set?

Each piece is in a chest in a Depths mine. The nearest Lightroot is the one to fast travel to once you have lit it:

• Cap of the Hero — Tuft Canyon Mine; nearest Lightroot Mimufis Lightroot.
• Tunic of the Hero — Dueling Canyons Mine; nearest Lightroot Sohse Lightroot.
• Trousers of the Hero — Corvash Canyon Mine; nearest Lightroot Worihas Lightroot.

Which Old Maps point to the Hero set?

All three Old Maps are on the South Hyrule Sky Archipelago; the one for the Cap is in a chest on a Flux Construct. Opening a map marks its chest in the Depths. See all 31 Old Maps.

Can you get the Hero set from an amiibo?

Yes. The Link (The Legend of Zelda) amiibo, the 8-bit figure, can drop pieces of this set. Bargainer Statues in the Depths resell any piece you have already had for 400 Poes; the statue at Lookout Landing does not.

What does the Hero set bonus do?

Attack Up raises Link’s attack power. All seven hero sets share it.

How much defense does each piece give?

3 at base and 20 at four stars.

What does it take to upgrade the Hero set?

Upgrades are done at a Great Fairy Fountain, one star at a time, for rupees plus materials. The table is per piece; the whole set needs three times as much.

That is 21 Rubies and 4 Star Fragments per piece, 63 Rubies and 12 Star Fragments for the set. For fragments see the Star Fragment farming guide.
