Quick Links
Within The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Link has rewarded the armor set known as the Armor of the Wild for finding and completing all 120 Shrines that were scattered throughout the Kingdom of Hyrule. This set was said to be based on a set worn by an ancient hero.
In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link can find the same set. Thankfully, it doesn't require him to find and complete all 152 Shrines that have made their way into the game. Instead, all you have to do is visit the Dark Skeleton locations in The Depths.

The Armor Of The Wild Set
The Armor of the Wild set is different from the other green tunics that can be found throughout the game. This set actually offers a base defense of 12. Each of the individual pieces gives Link a base defense of 4. The set can be enhanced by the Great Fairies throughout Hyrule. It can also be dyed in the Hateno Village Dye Shop. This is the only one of the green tunics that can be dyed a different color. The set doesn't offer any set bonuses for equipping the full set. However, increasing all pieces to level 2 offers Link an Attack Up bonus. You will need Dragon Parts in order to enhance this armor.

Must Read
The Cap Of The Wild
The Cap of the Wild is found in the skull of the Hebra Dark Skeleton. Its location is found below the Hebra Great Skeleton. The closest Lightroot is the Kato Lightroot, corresponding with the Otak Shrine. The Muotue Lightroot is also close to the skeleton's tail. Unfortunately, the closest chasm is the Hyrule Ridge Chasm. This means you'll have a long walk. There is also a repeat of the Wind Temple boss, Colgera that you will probably pass on your way here.
For times when you need to travel long distances in The Depths, be sure to use the Zonai Devices located around. A Zonai fused car or fusing two Zonai Fans into a Zonai Steering Stick can get you far.
The Cap of the Wild is in the head of the skeleton. There are many enemies around, including Gloom Hands.
