Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – How to Get the Gliding Armor?

Tears of the Kingdom has many armor sets with unique qualities and abilities, making the game more accessible and fun. One of the most helpful armor sets in the game is the Glide Armor set or the wingsuit. Skydiving is very efficient for reaching places quickly. Still, because of low mobility, you are unable to move great distances during it. You can use the paraglider, but that consumes a lot of stamina, so the best way to move at incredible speeds through the air is with the Glide Armor.

You must complete a few prerequisites before acquiring the Glide Armor; First, you must get the paraglider since they are all at the islands in the sky. Start the “To The Kingdom of Hyrule” questline; You will be taken to a Skyview Tower near Lookout Landing, where you will get the paraglider. You will get the Glider Armor Set in three parts from three destinations.

1.    Courage Island – coordinates (-2226, 0927, 1644)

2.    Bravery Island – coordinates (0243, 2092, 1980)

3.    Valor Island – coordinates (4544, -845, 1121)

Glide Shirt

The best way to obtain the Glide Shirt is by going to the Skyview Tower at Lindors Brow. Activate the tower to launch into the air, and from there, use the paraglider to go towards Courage Island. The islands might be far from you, and you might lack stamina, so either stop by smaller islands or make consumables to recharge the Stamina Wheel.

To get the Glide Shirt, you must complete the challenge given by the Steward Construct. It is called the “Dive Ceremony”, which is a time trial where you have to dive through all the green rings in thirty five seconds. Completing the trial will result in you getting a piece of the armor set, and it costs one Zonai charge to initiate the task.

Glide Tights

These can be found on Bravery Island, which is located above the Lost Woods. To reach the island, your best bet would be to either create a hot air balloon or a more straightforward method is to go from the Thyplo Ruins Skyview Tower. You might have to take a few rest stops at other islands to reach Bravery Island since the distance is too large for one Stamina Wheel.

Talk to the Steward Construct and complete the challenge again; You will have to do it under the thirty five second mark. It will take one Zonai charge to initiate the challenge, and once you succeed, you will obtain the Glide Tights as a reward.

Glide Mask

The Glide Mask is on Valor Island, and the best way to reach it would be to make your way from Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower, which is at the top of the mountain. Once you reach the air, keep in the North East direction. Still, the distance between you and the island is large, so you might be unable to make it, especially if you tried obtaining this armor set early in the game. There are several small islands between you and Valor Island, so the best way would be to stop at these islands before gliding again. 

You can also use stamina-boosting consumables, but if you don’t have enough stamina, there are flying Zonai machines on these islands. You might require some charges, but they will be enough to make your traversal easier. Once you reach the island, complete the trial and unlock the Shrine. Now, initiate the “Dive Ceremony” by speaking to the Steward Construct. Dive through all the green rings in thirty five seconds to obtain the Glide Mask.
