Not only does it offer protection, but it also provides set bonuses that enhance gameplay. This guide will help players acquire the Armor of the Wind Set by outlining all the ways it can be obtained in Tears of the Kingdom.
Obtaining the Armor of the Wind Set in Tears of the Kingdom can be done effortlessly by making use of the Toon Link Wind Waker Amiibo.

How to Get the Armor of the Wind in Tears of the Kingdom
Tears of the Kingdom has introduced ways to get previously Amiibo-exclusive items without having to scan an Amiibo. Here are the locations of all the pieces of the set.
How to Get The Cap of the Wind
The Cap of the Wind can be found beneath the pinned point on Davdi Island in the Depths. Its coordinates are 4653, 0622, - 0723. For players who have not unlocked this section of the Depths, they can place a pin on this point in the Surface as a guide. To illuminate the area, players can look for the nearest Lightroot which is the Sisinatag Lightroot located underneath Gatanisis Shrine.
The best entry point is Tingel Island Chasm at coordinates 4708, 1308, 0119. The chasm is only a small opening, but enough to paraglide into safely.
From here, head South until Link hits the first of three breakable boulders. Break these using Bombs or a Hammer and continue directly south to the next boulders.
Smash the upcoming boulders in Link's path, which can be easily spotted if the surroundings are well-lit. To brighten up the area, either carry some Brightbloom Seeds or make your way to the closest Lightroot.
The final set of boulders is blue. Light up the area again to find the boulders and break them as previously done.
After traversing this tunnel, Link should emerge onto a high ledge and see a chest in the pinned location.
This chest contains the Cap of the Wind.
How to Get the Tunic of the Wind
The Tunic of the Wind is significantly easier to find, located at coordinates-3787, 1344, - 0682 in the Depths.
To reach the Abandoned Hebra Mine, accessible from the Rito Village Chasm at coordinates -3571, 1803, 0119, you must head south. The cliffs that block your path pose the biggest challenge, so it's wise to bring Energizing Meals and Elixirs to help you scale them.
The Tunic is located in a chest on an illuminated platform in the Cuho Canyon Mine.
How to Get the Trousers of the Wind
The Cresia Pit Mine, where you can find the Trousers of the Wind, can be found at coordinates 3794, -3616, -0445 in the southeast corner of the map. While there are multiple routes to get there, the easiest path is to descend from Meda Mountain Chasm. Despite being farther than the Eventide Island Chasm, players can easily navigate their way by marking the location on the surface.
At Cresia Pit Mine, the Zonai Devices on the right allow the player to build a boat or raft for crossing the water. While there are Octoroks that may obstruct the way, they pose little threat.
The Trousers of the Wind are in the chest located on the platform at the end of the river.
