Armor Upgrade

Armor Upgrade
Main appearance(s)	Breath of the Wild
Purpose(s)	Enhancing Armor

Armor Upgrades are a mechanic in Breath of the Wild.

Overview

---

---

The four Great Fairies can enhance Link's Armor once Link pays a certain amount of Rupees to restore their Great Fairy Fountains. The restorations cost 100, 500, 1,000, and 10,000 Rupees, increasing with each Great Fairy Fountain that Link unlocks.

Each Armor Upgrade requires a certain amount of Materials.

Each Upgrade increases the Defense value of the Armor. The progression is consistent across Armors—all Armor with the same initial Defense value will also have the same Defense any any given upgrade level. The progressions are as follows:

Defense Progression

Initial	★	★★	★★★	★★★★
2	4	6	9	16
3	5	8	12	20
4	7	12	18	28
5	8	14	22	32
