The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gives players the opportunity to hunt down four unique helms, each based on one of the Divine Beasts from its predecessor, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. These helms are not only stylish in their own way but also grant unique defensive abilities when worn. Versions of these helms were available in Breath of the Wild but could be obtained only via scanning each amiibo of the Four Champions.
While the Divine Beasts Helms can still be obtained using these very same amiibo in Tears of the Kingdom, players also now have the opportunity to seek these powerful items hidden in secretive locations throughout Hyrule. Their defensive benefits will come in handy as Link traverses areas of Hyrule that have been ravaged by the effects of the Regional Phenomena.
These helms also amplify the benefits of the Sage abilities Link will gain access to through his efforts to help the affected residents of Hyrule. Therefore, players may want to prioritize locating these powerful items early in their adventure. Here is where players can obtain each of the four Divine Beasts Helms in Tears of the Kingdom.
Updated by Jeff Brooks on January 8, 2026: Tears of the Kingdom continues to usher in new players every day to explore the vibrant and creative iteration of Hyrule established in its predecessor, Breath of the Wild. This guide has been reviewed and updated to adhere to our site's newer formatting standards, creating a smoother reader experience.
Where Are the Divine Beasts in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
The Divine Beasts were very important in Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but they seem to have vanished in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Vah Medoh Divine Helm Location in Tears of the Kingdom
To obtain the 
Vah Medoh Divine Helm, which grants beneficial Cold Resistance when equipped, players should head to North Biron Snowshelf Cave located at coordinates (-3962, 3274, 0240) in the northeastern corner of Hyrule. The Biron Snowshelf is located just north of the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower, making the tower an excellent fast travel destination.
The surrounding region is freezing, so players will want to come prepared to handle the unbearable cold and be very careful not to aggro the nearby Frost Gleeok if not prepared to fight it.
To solve the puzzle within the cave and obtain the Vah Medoh Divine Helm, the player will have to utilize fire to melt ice and be able to destroy rocks at range. Therefore, it is advisable that players also bring any necessary materials to create fire, arrows, and Bomb Flowers. It is highly recommended to bring and utilize a Zonai Flame Emitter to easily melt through the large block of ice blocking the entrance to the cave. Additionally, there are a handful of Bomb Flowers found inside the cave, but only enough necessary for solving the puzzle.
To solve the puzzle inside the North Biron Snowshelf Cave, players should follow our handy guide to add the Vah Medoh Divine Helm to their collection.
The Vah Medoh Divine Helm can also be obtained by scanning the Revali amiibo. When scanned, once per day, a chest will appear that has a chance to contain the helm.

Vah Naboris Divine Helm Location in Tears of the Kingdom
To obtain the 
Vah Naboris Divine Helm, which provides an invaluable Shock Resistance buff, protecting Link from taking lightning damage, players need to head to the West Gerudo Underground Ruins. The player should fast travel to the Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower, launch into the air, then glide southwest to the entrance to the ruins, found at coordinates (-4673, -1976, 0023).
At this location, the player will encounter a Shock Like and a small hole in the ground at the center beneath a large ribcage, which is the entrance to the underground ruins. The player may consider bringing along Bomb Flowers to destroy the breakable rocks not only at the entrance but throughout the cave, though a suitably fused weapon will make quick work of those as well. The player will find multiple two-handed weapons and rocks inside that will do just fine.
To solve the puzzle inside the West Gerudo Underground Ruins, check out our handy guide detailing how to obtain the Vah Naboris Divine Helm.
The Vah Naboris Divine Helm can also be obtained by scanning the Urbosa amiibo. When scanned, once per day, a chest will appear that has a chance to contain the helm.
Vah Rudania Divine Helm Location in Tears of the Kingdom
The 
Vah Rudania Divine Helm provides the Flame Guard buff, protecting Link from intense heat and fire damage (but not from desert heat). It’s only suitable that this helm is found within the region surrounding Death Mountain—specifically in Death Caldera between two small lakes that are shaped like lizards. The fastest way to reach this area is to fast travel to the Sibajitak Shrine.
Once at this location, the player will discover a breakable stone wall at coordinates (2200, 3079, 0405) which, when destroyed, will lead the player into the Lizard’s Burrow cave. The Vah Rudania Divine Helm is the easiest of the four to obtain, as the player just needs to break through a few stones within the cave until arriving at the treasure chest containing the helm.
To solve the puzzle inside the Lizard’s Burrow, we've got a helpful guide ready to explain how to acquire the Vah Rudania Divine Helm.
The Vah Rudania Divine Helm can also be obtained by scanning the Daruk amiibo. When scanned, once per day, a chest will appear that has a chance to contain the helm.
Vah Ruta Divine Helm Location in Tears of the Kingdom
The 
Vah Ruta Divine Helm is a little tricky to obtain, but players who get their hands on this helpful helm will be rewarded with a beneficial Swim Speed Up bonus that stacks with other swim speed increasing items. Unsurprisingly, the Cave Under Zora’s Domain, where the helm is found, is near Zora’s Domain. The easiest way to reach the Cave Under Zora’s Domain is to fast travel to the Mogawak Shrine, which is located inside Zora's Domain.
If the player has not yet unlocked this shrine, they should fast travel to the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower and glide down to the shrine's location, which is easy to spot from above. Once at the Mogawak Shrine, climb the ladder up to the bridge and head forward to just past the first large waterfall below. Jump off the bridge and use the paraglider to glide backward, through the waterfall to land inside the cave's entrance at coordinates (3244, 0376, 0078).
To learn how to get behind the waterfall and reach the Cave Under Zora’s Domain, check out The Best War Games's guide to obtaining the Vah Ruta Divine Helm.
The Vah Ruta Divine Helm can also be obtained by scanning the Mipha amiibo. When scanned, once per day, a chest will appear that has a chance to contain the helm.
