Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom lets players dress Link in the iconic Champion’s Tunic from Breath of the Wild, now dubbed Champion’s Leathers. Here’s the rundown on how to get your hands on this iconic armor in TOTK.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is here at last, taking the magic of the previous installment and sprinkling in a bunch of cool new features. The Fuse ability lets you forge your own weaponry using almost any item, while Recall gives Link the power to rewind objects in very useful ways.

The sequel is all about pushing boundaries and taking things to the next level, but it’s also loaded with plenty of nods to Breath of the Wild that fans will appreciate. That includes the chance to suit up in the iconic Champion’s Tunic. This time around, the famous blue garb is known as the Champion’s Leathers, and it’s just one of the many armor pieces you can find across Hyrule.

If you’re wondering where to find the Champion’s Tunic in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, we’ve got you covered.

Where to find Champion’s Leathers in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

The Champion’s Tunic, or the Champion’s Leathers as it’s now known, can be found in Hyrule Castle’s throne room in Tears of the Kingdom. This room can be accessed on the first floor of the castle, where you’ll find a winding staircase that leads you straight to your destination.

Inside the throne room, you’ll need to ignite the two torches on the left and right of the throne. Doing so will unveil a secret tomb concealed behind the throne where the Champion’s Tunic awaits.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get Champion’s Leathers in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom:

  1. Make your way to Hyrule Castle and enter the throne room located on the first floor.
  2. Light the two torches on either side of the throne.
  3. Lighting the torches reveals a hidden tomb behind the throne, head inside once open.
  4. Claim the Champion’s Tunic and equip it.

It’s worth noting that Hyrule Castle is full of enemies to fight, so getting to the throne room will be no easy task.

Luckily, the Serutabomac Shrine is located behind Hyrule Castle, which can act as a useful teleportation point. So, if the fight gets overwhelming or you want to restock on items or weapons, you can quickly leave the action and take a breather.

To complete Link’s original Breath of the Wild look, you’ll also need the Well-Worn Hair Band. This accessory can be found at the bottom of a well situated behind Zelda’s house in Hateno Village.

There you have it, that was everything you need to know about how to get the Champion’s Tunic in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
