Tears of the Kingdom Hero Sets: All Seven Hero Armor Sets and amiibo

Seven armor sets dress Link as the heroes of earlier Zelda games. They share one set bonus, Attack Up, and most of them sit in chests in the Depths. For every set see all armor; for the other attack set see the Barbarian set, and for more attack power from food see Mighty recipes.

What does the hero set bonus do?

Zelda Dungeon lists Attack Up — “Increases Link’s offensive power” — for all seven hero sets in Tears of the Kingdom. The Hero of the Wild set has more defense (4 at base, 28 at four stars) than the other six (3 and 20).

Where are the seven hero sets?

Where each piece is comes from Game8; chest positions from the game’s placement data. The Depths chests for six of the sets are each marked by an Old Map; see all 31 Old Maps. Zelda Dungeon adds that Bargainer Statues in the Depths resell amiibo armor you already have for 400 Poes a piece; the Lookout Landing statue is the exception.
