The Snowquill Armor is by far the best armor for any TOTK adventurer that is looking for help with surviving the freezing temperatures of Hyrule.
This armor will increase Link’s Cold Resistance and allow players to explore snowy landscapes without even a hint of fear. It is incredibly helpful, but players will need to travel quite a distance to obtain it.
Here is where you find the Snowquill Armor in Zelda: TOTK and how to add it to your inventory to survive even the harshest winter.
How to Get Snowquill Armor in TOTK
Players can get the Snowquill Armor Set by purchasing it at the Brazen Beak in Rito Village for a total of 2,150 Rupees. With its base stats, players will receive 9 Defense and 3 Cold Resistance from this armor.
This is currently the only way to obtain the Snowquill Armor Set, but there are other ways to increase Cold Resistance if you are trying to save on Rupees.
Rito Village is located in the northern area of the Tabantha Frontier after passing the Tabantha Great Bridge (Coordinates: -3625, 1798, 0187).
After you reach the Brazen Beak, you will need to purchase the Snowquill Armor separately. You can find each piece of armor displayed on a stand inside the store.
| Armor | Price | Base Defense Stat |
|---|---|---|
| Snowquill Headdress | 650 Rupees | 3 |
| Snowquill Trousers | 1000 Rupees | 3 |
| Snowquill Tunic | 500 Rupees | 3 |
When Link equips all three set items, he obtains the set bonus Unfreezable. Unfreezable makes it so that Link cannot be frozen by ice attacks or elements.
How to Upgrade Snowquill Armor Set
To upgrade the Snowquill Armor Set to 4 Stars, you’ll need to find and unlock the Great Fairy Fountains scattered throughout Hyrule.
After finding the Great Fairy Fountains, you’ll need to obtain the following materials:
| Level | Materials (Entire Set) | Defense Total When Using Entire Set |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Star | 30 Rupees 9 Red Chuchu Jelly |
15 |
| 2 Star | 150 Rupees 9 Warm Safflina 15 Red Chuchu Jelly |
24 |
| 3 Star | 600 Rupees 15 Sunshroom 15 Fire Keese Wing 9 Fire-Breath Lizalfos |
36 |
| 4 Star | 1,500 Rupees 15 Ruby 15 Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horn 30 Fire-Breath Lizalfos Tail |
60 |
However, to activate the set bonus Unfreezable, all you need to do is equip all three set items. Upgrading your armor set will not increase the Cold Resistance of the Snowquill Armor.
You can also change the color of your Snowquill Armor Set by visiting the Kochie Dye Shop at Hateno Village and speaking to Sayge (Coordinates: 3401, -2154, 0124)
