The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom provides dedicated players with a rich collection of nostalgic armor pieces honoring past entries in the franchise. Among these classic items is the Cap of the Wind, a headpiece inspired by the heroic look featured in The Wind Waker. Locating this legendary headgear requires traversing into the vast subterranean layer beneath Hyrule to uncover its hidden chest.
Locating the Cap of the Wind in the Depths
Players searching for the Cap of the Wind must head to the eastern side of the map and venture beneath the Surface. The exact treasure chest is situated deep within the Davdi Island Depths, located under the chain of islands in the Akkala region. Reaching this secluded area demands careful navigation through the underground terrain while avoiding gloom-infested obstacles.
To reach the chest smoothly, players can dive down the nearest Chasm and travel toward the subterranean island formation. Once at the designated mine area in the Davdi Island Depths, the chest containing the piece sits ready for collection.
Stats and Combat Utility
The Cap of the Wind offers a baseline defense value when first acquired by Link. While it does not feature specialized environmental resistance built in, it contributes to overall defense when upgraded at Great Fairy Fountains. Pairing it with matching pieces completes a classic outfit set for fans of the iconic hero.
For players who value aesthetic customization alongside functionality, this headpiece can also be dyed at the Kochi Dye Shop in Hateno Village. This flexibility allows adventurers to personalize their look while exploring the vast landscapes of Hyrule.
Alternative Methods and Upgrades
In addition to exploring the underground map, players can acquire the headpiece by scanning the corresponding Toon Link or Wind Waker amiibo figures. If you accidentally sell or lose your headpiece, duplicate copies can also be repurchased using Poe Souls at Bargainer Statues scattered throughout the Depths.
Upgrading the Cap of the Wind at Great Fairy Fountains requires specific crafting materials and rupees. Completing the full set enhances its overall defensive power, making it both a stylish throwback and a practical armor piece for ongoing adventures.
