The 
Fierce Deity Armor Set is a powerful armor set obtainable in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that brings back an iconic look from the previous Zelda title Majora’s Mask. Unlike conventional armor sets, the Fierce Deity Set features not only three armor pieces but also a unique sword. Each of the armor pieces can be upgraded to significantly amplify their benefits and even grant a set bonus after two upgrades. While the Fierce Deity Sword is not upgradable, fusion materials can be used to enhance its power.
The specific materials required to update these armor pieces can be challenging to acquire, as they require defeating formidable Hinox and Lynel adversaries, as well as locating the elusive sky dragons of Hyrule for various parts. Once each armor piece has been upgraded twice, to three-star quality, wearing the complete set provides an additional bonus. Here’s what players need to know about upgrading the Fierce Deity Armor Set in Tears of the Kingdom.
What is the Fierce Deity Armor Set
In Tears of the Kingdom, the Fierce Deity Armor Set is a powerful set for Link to complete, as each piece provides a substantial Attack Up boost along with a good bit of armor. This set follows a similar upgrade path as other armor sets, with each piece upgradable four times maxing out at four-star quality.
Initially, the Fierce Deity Armor offers no set bonus. However, after upgrading all three armor pieces to three-star quality, wearing the full armor set will grant an additional bonus: the "Charge Atk. Stamina Up" buff. This buff causes Link's charge attacks, including specific melee weapon and “bullet time” attacks, to consume less stamina.
How to Get the Fierce Deity Armor Set
The quest "Misko's Treasure: The Fierce Deity" begins after Link has secured the Ember Trousers in Cephla Lake Cave. The Fierce Deity Armor set pieces are hidden throughout Hyrule, with each presenting its unique challenges for Link to overcome before he can claim his reward. The locations for each piece are as follows:
- Fierce Deity Mask: Located in Skull Lake Cave in the Akkala region.
- Fierce Deity Armor: Located in Akkala Citadel Ruins.
- Fierce Deity Boots: Located in Ancient Tree Stump Cave in Hyrule Field.
- Fierce Deity Sword: Located in Cephla Lake Cave, but only obtainable after the armor set is completed.

Alternatively, the Majora’s Mask Link amiibo can be used to acquire the set. Each daily scan spawns a chest, potentially containing an unowned piece of the set.
Upgrading the Fierce Deity Armor Set
The Fierce Deity Armor Set upgrades can be performed by any of Hyrule’s four Great Fairies once unlocked. Link can speak with a Great Faerie to select which armor piece he’d like to upgrade and will be shown the necessary materials and the quantity he has on hand. Armor upgrades demand not only specific materials but many Rupees as well. The necessary materials for upgrading the Fierce Deity Armor Set are as follows:
