The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has players searching under rock and river for the chance to uncover one of its many easter eggs. Of course, no easter egg means quite as much as the one you can don yourself.
The armor sets in TOTK do more than just decrease Zoanite Battery Cell usage and increase Attack Power. These sets give players the chance to wander Hyrule as the Hero of Twilight, Twinkle the Trickster, and even a wealthy god of immortality as long as you keep a small fortune of rupees on you.

Players looking to take advantage of bullet time to maximize their combat potential should seek out the Ember Armor Set immediately.
