Master the Secrets of the Kingdom: Ultimate Guide to Upgrading Champion's Leathers in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

The Champion's Leathers chest armor in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an enhanced version of Link's famous blue chest piece, known as the Champion's Tunic, from Breath of the Wild. Upgrading the Champion's Leathers in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is quite challenging, particularly due to the need for specific parts obtained from the Light Dragon.

Fortunately, acquiring the other necessary materials is relatively straightforward. The armor set can be upgraded four times, with each upgrade necessitating a distinct combination of items. To assist players in upgrading the Champion's Leathers in Tears of the Kingdom, here is everything they need to know.

What are the Champion’s Leathers

Where to Find the Champion’s Leathers

The Champion's Leathers, found in Tears of the Kingdom, is a unique chest armor piece that stands alone without being part of any armor set. When equipped, it bestows upon Link the power to unleash damaging, long-range beams from the Master Sword, irrespective of his health level. However, the wearer must have the Master Sword equipped to access this advantage. It's worth noting that in contrast to its predecessor in Breath of the Wild, the Champion's Leathers do not provide Link with the ability to view enemy health values in numerical form.

How to Upgrade the Champion’s Leathers

The Champions Leathers can be enhanced at any of the Great Fairy Fountains in Tears of the Kingdom once the player has unlocked one. After engaging in conversation with the Great Fairy, Link can opt to upgrade the Champions Leathers, significantly boosting its defensive capabilities with each successive quality level. In order to upgrade the Champions Leathers, Link must gather and furnish the materials listed in the following table:

When fully upgraded, the Champion's Leathers provide Link with a solid Defense of 32. Additionally, it enables him to use the Master Sword's unique beam attack even without full health. However, since it is a standalone armor piece, players may miss out on the advantageous set bonuses offered by the game's three-piece armor sets. Nevertheless, for players seeking the nostalgic look of Link's Breath of the Wild attire and desiring a more potent alternative to the Tunic of Memories, the Champion's Leathers are an excellent choice, especially for those who frequently wield the Master Sword.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is now available on the Nintendo Switch.
