Discover how to get the nostalgic Wind Waker-inspired Island Lobster Shirt in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Uncover hidden references to past games in the franchise and explore the world as Link while donning this unique shirt
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom pays tribute to some of the past games in the franchise, with references cleverly hidden away in unexpected locations. One of these tributes is a nod to the cel-shaded classic, The Wind Waker, originally released for the Gamecube.
In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, players have the opportunity to dress Link in the iconic Island Lobster Shirt, which was famously worn by young Link at the start of The Wind Waker. Not only is this a delightful homage to the beloved classic, but the shirt also has practical in-game benefits. This guide will assist players in locating the shirt and obtaining it for themselves.
Island Lobster Shirt Location
The Island Lobster Shirt is situated near Lurelin Village, on the southeastern edge of Hyrule. To get a good view of the task ahead, head to the coordinates (2888, -3571, 0000). From there, players can launch themselves from the Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower and glide down to the bay.
While on the way to Lurelin Village, players can also come across the Sifumim Shrine, which serves as a better fast travel point if claimed. From the shrine's location at the coordinates, players can overlook the bay, where a monster pirate ship is anchored in the middle. However, players do not need to enter the ship or engage in any battles to obtain the Island Lobster Shirt.
How to Get the Island Lobster Shirt
The Island Lobster Shirt can be found in a treasure chest that has sunk to the bottom of the bay and is located under a pirate ship. However, diving into the water won't do the trick. You'll need to engage in a bit of construction to get your hands on it.
Head to the western side of the ship and look for two wooden boards lying on the beach. Use the Ultrahand ability to connect the two boards lengthwise. Place the connected boards in the water close to the shore so you can jump onto them. Then, move as close as you can to the chest without falling into the water. Use the Ultrahand to grab the chest, bring it back to the shore, and open it up to claim your prize.
The Island Lobster Shirt is a unique item found in the chest. It is a standalone piece of clothing and does not belong to any set. The shirt has a base armor stat of one, and it also provides heat resistance that can be helpful for Link when exploring some of the hottest areas of Hyrule.
