In the enchanting world of “Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom,” players embark on a quest to obtain the coveted Glide Armor, a set that enhances Link’s ability to traverse the skies with ease. To secure this armor, adventurers must first unlock the paraglider, a prerequisite for reaching the Sky Islands where the Glide Armor pieces are located. Each piece of the set, consisting of the Glide Mask, Glide Shirt, and Glide Tights, is obtained by completing glide challenges on different Sky Islands.

The journey begins with the Glide Shirt, found at Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower. Players must activate the pedestal within the tower to be launched into the air, then glide southwest towards Courage Island. This island, situated in the Hyrule Ridge Sky region, presents a significant gliding challenge, especially for those with a smaller Stamina wheel. It’s advisable to either stop at smaller islands to recharge Stamina or consume Stamina-restoring items during the glide.

Next, the Glide Tights can be acquired by navigating to Valor Island. This requires players to fast travel to the Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower and soar through a series of sky islands, with Valor Island being the final destination. Alternatively, players can glide from the Water Temple to reach the island. Upon arrival, a Dive Ceremony must be completed to earn the Glide Tights.

The final piece, the Glide Mask, is also secured through a Dive Ceremony, this time on Valor Island. Players talk to the steward construct and glide through holographic rings, aiming to beat a set best time to claim the mask.

Once all pieces are collected, the Glide Armor set grants the Skydive Mobility Up bonus, significantly reducing Stamina consumption while gliding. Moreover, when upgraded to a two-star rating, the set provides the Impact Proof bonus, negating fall damage. This is particularly useful when players run out of Stamina mid-air, preventing any harm from a free fall.

To upgrade the Glide Armor, players must gather specific materials, enhancing the set’s benefits and unlocking the set bonus, the Sky Dash ability. This ability further improves Link’s mobility in the sky, making exploration and travel between the myriad of Sky Islands a seamless experience.

The quest for the Glide Armor set is a thrilling part of “Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom,” offering players not only an improved gameplay experience but also a deeper immersion into the game’s expansive world. With the Glide Armor equipped, the skies of Hyrule become a playground for the daring and the bold, beckoning explorers to discover the secrets held aloft in the clouds. The Glide Armor is more than just equipment; it’s a symbol of the freedom and adventure that lies at the heart of the Zelda series.
