Tears of the Kingdom features a wide variety of ways for players to customize their gameplay. There are plenty of different Armor sets, weapons, and abilities for players to use and experiment with. Another way in which Tears of the Kingdom players can customize their gameplay is through the game's various bonus effects.
These powerful effects will provide Link with bonuses that will change how the game is played. Some of these effects are variable and only work under specific circumstances, such as weather conditions. They can also make boss fights easier, or make traversal quicker. Players can find out what each bonus effect does in Tears of the Kingdom here.
14 Flame Guard
Gaining the Flame Guard effect in Tears of the Kingdom means that Link will no longer catch fire when he's in flaming areas. It also increases his resistance to fire attacks.
The Flame Guard status effect can be gained by wearing the 
Flamebreaker Armor or cooking a 
Fireproof Elixir. This effect is particularly useful to have when exploring Death Mountain in the Eldin region. Many of the caves are too hot to explore without the Fireproof effect and will set Link's body on fire.
13 Glow
The Glow effect in Tears of the Kingdom is most useful for players trying to explore The Depths. This effect will make Link's body emit light for a select period.
There are a few ways of acquiring Glow. One is the Miner's Armor - this armor will glow and light up Link's surroundings, making it much easier to navigate darker areas. Players can also gain the Glow effect by cooking certain materials, such as Brightcaps or Glowing Cave Fish. When consumed, they will temporarily grant Link a glowing effect. If players find that they're short on Brightbloom Seeds, they can acquire the Glow bonus effect instead to help light their way.
12 Hot Weather Attack Up
The Hot Weather Attack Up bonus effect is one of the more niche statuses in Tears of the Kingdom. This bonus will increase Link's Attack Power whenever he is in an area with hot weather. Players can acquire the Hot Weather Attack Up effect by equipping the Ember Set. It can also be gained by cooking and consuming Fire Fruit.
This status effect is most useful in the Gerudo region. It's helpful to have when fighting certain bosses or tougher enemies.
11 Stealth Up
In Tears of the Kingdom, the Stealth Up bonus effect will increase Link's stealth. This means that it will be much easier for him to sneak around and remain undetected by enemies. It can be particularly helpful for players trying to catch some of the rarer creatures in Tears of the Kingdom, or who simply want to avoid conflict with dangerous enemies.
The Stealth Up status effect can be gained in a variety of ways. One way is to create a Sneaky Elixir or cook certain recipes using stealthy ingredients. Some of the best ingredients the player can use for stealth include Silent Princesses and Stealthfin Trouts. There are also plenty of Armor pieces that will grant Link extra stealth. Some of these include the Yiga Set, the Stealth Set, and 
Sheik's Mask.
10 Slip Resistance
Slip Resistance is a new bonus effect in Tears of the Kingdom. This rather helpful effect will increase Link's ability to climb surfaces that are wet. Tears of the Kingdom players have likely tried climbing a cliff only for it to start raining and ruin their plans. Luckily, this status effect makes it much easier to climb in the rain.
To acquire Slip Resistance in Tears of the Kingdom, the player will need to acquire either a Sticky Elixir or the Froggy Set. The Sticky Elixir can be made using Sticky Frogs and Sticky Lizards, whereas the Froggy Set can be earned by completing the "Lucky Clover Gazette" side quests.
9 Stormy Weather Attack Up
In Tears of the Kingdom, the Stormy Weather Attack Up status effect will increase Link's Attack Power whenever he is in stormy weather. This bonus effect is particularly useful in the Faron region, or in the Thunderhead Isles, where the weather is most often stormy.
Players can acquire the Stormy Weather Attack Up bonus by consuming Shock Fruit or equipping the Charged Set. Shock Fruit is most commonly found in the Gerudo Desert and East Necluda.
8 Swim Speed
The Swim Speed status effect in Tears of the Kingdom does exactly what it says on the tin; it increases the speed at which Link swims. This is particularly useful when exploring the wet region of Lanayru.
The Swim Speed effect can be gained by either consuming Splash Fruit or equipping certain Armor pieces. These Armor pieces include the Zora Set, 
Opal Earrings, and the 
Vah Ruta Divine Helm. Splash Fruit can be found commonly in Lanayru Great Spring and West Necluda.
7 Cold Weather Attack Up
Cold Weather Attack Up in Tears of the Kingdom grants Link a boost to his Attack Power while he's in colder regions. This effect is useful for players trying to fight some of the bosses in the Hebra region.
The Cold Weather Attack Up bonus effect can be gained by consuming Ice Fruit or equipping Armor from the Frostbite Set. Ice Fruit can be found in the Hebra Mountains and Gerudo Highlands - players should stock up before heading into a tough fight.
6 Cold Resistance
Cold Resistance is one of the most important bonus effects in Tears of the Kingdom. This effect grants Link some resistance to cold weather environments and prevents him from taking damage from the cold. It's incredibly useful to have when exploring Hebra and other cold regions in Hyrule and will save players a lot of Hearts in the long run.
Cold Resistance in Tears of the Kingdom can be gained in various ways. By cooking Spicy recipes, the player can earn some temporary Cold Resistance. It can also be gained through certain pieces of Armor, such as the Snowquill Set, Ruby Circlet, and the 
Vah Medoh Divine Helm.
5 Heat Resistance
Heat Resistance in Tears of the Kingdom is a very useful bonus effect. This effect will grant Link resistance to hot weather environments, and prevent him from taking damage from the scorching heat.
Heat Resistance can be gained in a variety of ways. One way is to cook Chilly recipes, with ingredients such as Chillshrooms or Hydromelons. Another way is to equip certain Armor pieces, such as the Desert Voe Set or the Sapphire Circlet.
