Finding iconic headwear in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom adds a rewarding layer of nostalgia to your adventure across Hyrule. The Cap of the Wild represents Link's classic aesthetic from Breath of the Wild, making it a highly sought-after collectible for long-time fans. Locating this piece of armor requires diving deep into the underground depths of the realm and defeating a formidable enemy.
Where to Find the Cap of the Wild
The Cap of the Wild is hidden deep within the Depths directly beneath the Hebra region. You can find the treasure chest containing the cap inside the Dark Skeleton structure located in the northwestern area of the underground map. Navigating through the pitch-black environment demands plenty of Brightbloom Seeds and resistance to gloom.
Preparing for the Battle at the Dark Skeleton
Guarding the ancient remains of the Dark Skeleton is a powerful Gloom-infused King Gleeok that you must confront. Before attempting this encounter, ensure you stock up on elemental resistance remedies, strong bows, and plenty of arrows fused with Keese Eyes. Defeating or cleverly maneuvering past this multi-headed monster is essential to safely opening the chest located in the monster's lair.
How to Claim and Upgrade the Armor
Once you reach the base of the skull in the Hebra Dark Skeleton, search for the stone chest sitting on a raised platform. Opening this chest rewards you with the Cap of the Wild, completing one third of the Wild Armor Set. To maximize its defensive capabilities, visit the Great Fairies scattered across Hyrule to upgrade its defense stats using rare dragon materials.
Benefits of the Of the Wild Set
Equipping the full Of the Wild set offers a powerful Attack Up boost when upgraded to level two by the Great Fairies. This iconic outfit combines classical visual charm with exceptional high-tier combat efficiency for tough endgame bosses. Collecting all three pieces demonstrates a complete exploration of Hyrule's subterranean landscape.
