Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the newest chapter in The Legend of Zelda series. Players will get to explore Hyrule once again, this time both under and over the Breath of the Wild map. In order to safely wander the Depths, players will need to get some potions or armor that will help them to glow. There are three total Miner's armor in TotK, each of which grants Link a level of Glowing that will light up the darker parts of the underground until players can light up the Lightroots nearby.
The Glowing Miner's Top in Tears of the Kingdom
The three pieces of Miner's armor are all pointed to by Old Treasure Maps found in the Tears of the Kingdom. The torso piece of the Miner's Armor has a map located on a tiny little sky island in West Hebra Sky Archipelago. Players do not have to find the treasure map in order to get the top, but it will highlight the location of the Miner's Top if they get this first.
The Miner's Top chest is located underneath the Daphnes Mountain and the Susuyai Shrine in Hyrule Field. The best way to travel there from the surface is to take the Hyrule Field Chasm down then head west. The location of the chest is -1077, -0556, -0514.
The Glowing Miner's Mask in Tears of the Kingdom
The Old Map for the Miner's helm is located in Rising Island Chain above the Hebra Mountains, and the Mask itself will be found underneath the Kara Kara Bazaar in the Gerudo Desert. The chest is located around -3238, -2423, -0475.
The Glowing Miner's Trousers in Tears of the Kingdom
The final piece of the Miner's armor in Tears of the Kingdom is in the Hylia Canyon Mine. The Map for these pants is located in West Hebra Sky Archipelago; defeat the Flux Construct in order to get the chest that holds it. As for the pants themselves, the Miner's Trousers are located at -1287, -2250, -0707. This is a little bit southwest of both the Secret Spring of Revival and the Great Abandoned Central Mine. This is underneath Mount Hylia, which is the mountain on the Great Plateau.
Upgrading the Miner's Armor in Tears of the Kingdom
Once players have unlocked the four Great Fairies in TotK, they can upgrade the Miner's armor. Here are the upgrade costs and what players get in return for upgrading.
Cost | Armor | Set Bonus | |
Level 0 | None | 3 | None |
Level 1 | 10 Brightbloom Seeds | 5 | None |
Level 2 | 20 Brightbloom Seeds 5 Brightcaps | 8 | Shining Steps |
Level 3 | 15 Giant Brightbloom Seeds 5 Glowing Cave Fish 10 Deep Firefly | 12 | Shining Steps |
Level 4 | 20 Giant Brightbloom Seeds 3 Diamond 10 Large Zonaite | 20 | Shining Steps |
Shining Steps lights up a player's previous location with a little glow petal, allowing them to light up an area by walking around in circles for a bit. This is very helpful when exploring the Depths of Hyrule in the dark until Tears of the Kingdom players can reveal the map by lighting up all the Lightroots.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available for Nintendo Switch.
