Maintaining your body temperature is an essential part of Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. If taken lightly, the harsh winter will kill you before you realize it. In addition, Tears of the Kingdom introduces players to a cold terrain quite early on while players are still familiarizing themselves with game mechanics in Great Sky Island. Therefore, it can be quite difficult to understand how to stop damage taken from the cold. Continue reading to find out the location of warm clothes in Tears of the Kingdom, along with other ways of resisting cold while exploring snowy lands and mountains.

Where To Find Warm Clothes
There are two ways players can keep their body temperature warm while exploring a snowy or cold area. You can either wear a cold resistance outfit or eat certain food to keep the body temperature in check. Here is how to collect wearable items in Tears of the Kingdom:
Obtain From A Treasure Chest
The first location of warm clothes is nearby Gutanbac Shrine on Great Sky Island which players visit before the Hyrule Kingdom. Here you will complete some challenges associated with Shrines. The last shrine players face is the Gutanbac Shrine. This time, the shrine gifts Link a new ability called Ascend. Follow these steps in order to obtain your new cozy attire:
- After obtaining your newfound ability, head out of the Gutanbac Shrine and turn right.
- You will notice a huge tree trunk with an opening right above a raised platform.
- Choose Ascend and pass through the ceiling above, landing right outside the tree trunk.
- Enter the tree trunk, and the chest is hiding in a corner on the right.
- Open the chest, and you will obtain “Archaic Warm Greaves,” marked with “cold resistance.”
Now wear the newly achieved outfit and save yourself from the cold terrain you’re currently in.
- Note: Completing Gutanbac Shrine is necessary as you must unlock the Ascend ability in order to reach a chest containing Warm Clothes.
Purchase From Brazen Beak
The second winter clothing is available for purchase from a store in exchange for Rupees – the in-game currency. The store is Brazen Beak, and it resides in Rito Village. The village itself is located in Lake Totori of Tabantha Frontier. One of the merchant stores here is Brazen Beak. The store has an entire set of winter outfits by the name of “Snowquill.” Make sure you obtain all three pieces of the Snowquill set. They are:
Snowquill Tunic

These consumables will help you keep your health intact in extreme cold. Here are some consumable items for the cold resistance effect.
