The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom - Zora Armor Set Location
The Zora Armor set is invaluable for navigating the waterways of Hyrule. Here’s how to get the complete set in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Ember Shirt Location
The Ember Shirt is located inside theGoronbi River Cave. This is just southwest of Goron City. You can reach it by taking the road out of the city.
Once inside, you’ll have to defeat a Horriblin. Once that is taken care of,you need to use the platforms in the lava to get to the area where the platforms are falling from. Wait for a platform to fall and use Recall on it. This will allow you to travel to the area with the Fire Like and avoid the lava falling from the ceiling, blocking the way forward.
You’ll need to kill the Fire-Like in order to safely continue through the cave.Once it is taken care of, travel to the ledge of the area to your right. There, you will see the lava flowing deeper into the cave, and you’ll be on the other side of the lava that is blocking the path you were just on.
From here,shoot something that is made of water (Splash Fruit, Chuchu Jelly, etc.) at the lava. This will create a small platform for Link to jump on. You can continue on through the cave. The first place you can get off will have a chest with a resource inside. Then get back on the platform and ride until you’re to the next spot you can hop off.
Once you reach the next area in the cave, jump off the platform.You will see a small opening up a slope. Enter into it to find your treasure.
