by As it happened in Breath of the Wild, in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom we will once again have to know how to deal with the inconveniences that each climate brings to the game. This is an aspect that will annoy us a lot at first, but once we have the tools to fight each of these scenarios, things will be much more bearable.
On this occasion we will talk about the cold since it is one of the first climates that will give you problems in this game because at the beginning of it we will quickly have to go to the typical snowy mountain and being able to go to the surface, the first area The most recommended one to access is the town of the Orni, which is precisely an area where it is very cold (and ironically there you can get the ideal equipment for the cold, although before that you can do several other things).
So nothing, in this post I will list all the ways you have to combat the cold; The best of all will be the one at the end, but between the time you get that armor you will have to know how to fight it with other more accessible methods for the start of the game.
THE FIRE: OBVIOUS, BUT IT HAS TO BE SAID
When we have no choice, we can always turn to the fire so that Link warms up a bit. Whether it is the fire of a bonfire or that provided by a torch set on fire, they are a way of obtaining heat and therefore they are options that we must always keep in mind.
Anyway, the options that I will give you below are much more solid than this, but hey, in a pinch a good fire can save your life.
SAUTÉED BERRIES
Undoubtedly the easiest way to deal with the cold at the beginning of the game. Sautéed Berries are a cooking recipe that will give us resistance to cold for a while , it will depend on the amount of ingredients that we add. To make it we will need to have Igneous Berry, which luckily is not a very difficult ingredient to find and that we usually find quite conveniently in areas that are close to the cold areas of the game.
This is the effect we will obtain depending on how many ingredients we add:
- 1 Igneous Berry: 2:30 min .
- 2 Fire Berries: 5 min .
- 3 Igneous Berries: 7:30 min .
- 4 Fire Berries: 10 min .
- 5 Igneous Berries: 12:30 min .
Suffice to say that it is not the best method by any means as it is a temporary protection and requires the necessary materials from the prescription. The advantage of this is that at least you won’t have to equip anything in particular.
ARCHAIC LINED BOOTS
These boots are very interesting since they have resistance against the cold and you can also obtain them at the beginning of the game ; in fact they are on the way to the areas you head to during the start of the adventure in the main story (the snowy area in the sky where we started). The thing is, the area may have been overlooked. It is quite key to have them because they solve your life a lot since it is quite useful to already have equipment to withstand the cold at the beginning (to go to the Orni Village it will come in handy).
To get them you will have to go to the Gutanabaq Sanctuary, one of the ones you do at the beginning of the story in heaven, so you will have it unlocked. From there you will see that there is a large broken tree nearby and there will be a root that protrudes a bit creating a kind of platform; You will have to use the Infiltration power to climb over the root and inside the trunk you will find the boots.
SPICY ELIXIR
This is another recipe that you can take into account, although we will go very quickly because the truth is that I do not recommend it at all since it is easier to make Sautéed Berries and they are also more recommended, so this recipe is quite little worth it . The recipe calls for some monster material and then some spicy bug. In any case, what has been said, I do not recommend it, but anyway, it is an option that we have.
ORNI ARMOR
The Orni Armor is the best method without a doubt, at least if what you are looking for is ease and power against the cold, since with the entire set equipped we will obtain the maximum resistance to cold (which are 2 points and each armor provides 1 point; the Boots Archaic Lined also give 1 point). You’ll even get maximum effect with just 2 pieces, so you could spend the remaining slot on whatever you want, like a Barbarian Armor part, for example.
You will find it in the Orni Village (so you will have to have things to combat the cold), which is to the West of Hyrule Castle. It has no loss because it is marked on the map in the mission “Investigate the strange events” (which is the main mission), it is the point that is at the top left. Keep in mind that since the Orni Village is on an elevated area, you will probably have to resort to the trick of adding a Hylian Cone in a Bonfire to create a large updraft that allows you to get there.
Within the town you will find it in the Armor Shop, these would be its pieces, its costs and its properties:
- Orni Robe : 1000 Rupees.
- Orni pants : 1000 Rupees. It’s like the Archaic Lined Boots only it has one more point of Defense, so it’s not as necessary.
- Orni Feathers : 650 Rupees.
Each piece provides 3 points of Defense and 1 point of Cold Resistance, so in that sense they are all the same. With 2 pieces you have plenty to protect yourself from the cold in any area and if you already have the Archaic Lined Boots you will only have to buy one piece (ideally the one on the head, which is cheaper). In my case I prefer to buy all of them for aesthetics and others, but anyway, it’s not necessary as such.
