The Hylian and Soldier’s sets are plain defense: no set bonus, but they upgrade to solid numbers. Each now has its own page with every piece, the defense table and the upgrade materials; this page compares the two. For every set see all armor; all upgrade tables are also on armor upgrade materials.

The Hylian set is the first armor you can buy on the surface. The Soldier’s set takes a trip through the Royal Hidden Passage, which you can enter from the Emergency Shelter under Lookout Landing, but ends up with the same defense as the Zonaite set. The passage’s three entrances are in the Hyrule Castle guide.
