The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

How to Get the Snowquil Armor in Tears of the Kingdom

By
Shane Williams

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has lots of areas which are awfully cold and will slowly deplete Link’s health, so you’ll need a way to combat it, such as Cold Resistant Food or Armour. The page will navigate you through the necessary steps to getting the Snowquill Armour.

You can purchase the Snowquill Armor Set from Rito Village.

Where to Buy The Snowquill Armour

Snowquill Armour Piece Cost
"Snowquill Headdress" iconSnowquill Headdress 650
"Snowquill Tunic" iconSnowquill Tunic 500
"Snowquill Trousers" iconSnowquill Trousers 1,000

Before you go and tackle the Wind Temple you’ll need to get your hands on the Snowquill Armour Set which can be purchased from the Armour Shop in Rito Village which is in Hebra. It has the Cold Resistance Ability which allows you to comfortably explore the snowy regions without taking too much damage overtime and it comes with a total defense of 9 and can be upgraded to 60 by speaking with the Great "Fairy" iconFairy. However, this will require lots of materials.

What is The Snowquill Armour Set Bonus

We recommend you equip a third piece of armor that has more defense to balance it out. You’ll need 2150 Rupees in total to purchase all three pieces, but two of them will give you more than enough resistance. However, if you get all three pieces and upgrade them twice you’ll be given the set bonus Unfreezable which will prevent you from being frozen by ice attacks from enemies such as the Ice "Like Like" iconLike Like. If you only care for the cold resistance, then you’ll want to go for the "Snowquill Headdress" iconSnowquill Headdress and "Snowquill Tunic" iconSnowquill Tunic, as they’re the cheapest pieces of the whole set.

Snowquill Armour Upgrade Costs

If you want to upgrade the Snowquill Armor in Tears of The Kingdom, then you will need to visit the Great Fairy. There are four scattered throughout Hyrule and in if you have the right monster drops and enough Rupees, then they will upgrade your gear for you. Like most armor, the Snowquill Armor set has a base defense of three. Each armor piece has the same upgrade needs, here is what you need to upgrade each piece to level 20.

Defense Level Items Needed Rupees Needed
5 x3 Red Chu Jelly 10 Rupees
8 x5 Red Chu Jelly, 3x "Warm Safflina" iconWarm Safflina 50 Rupees
12 x8 "Fire Keese" iconFire Keese Wing, 5x "Sunshroom" iconSunshroom 200 Rupees
20 x10 Red "Lizalfos Tail" iconLizalfos Tail, 5x Ruby 500 Rupees

Please not that to upgrade your armor to 20, you need to unlock all four Great Fairies across Hyrule.
