The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a massive game with so many different quests, puzzles, and challenges to complete. One of the most important aspects of exploring the game’s lush landscape is being able to climb. However, Nintendo has made climbing harder this time around, which means you’ll need to find and use some climbing gear to get around.

The game has a variety of climbing gear types, each with its unique benefits. The gear you’ll need to scale mountains and cliffs include climbing gear, climbing boots, and a climbing bandana.

Finding Climbing Gear

To start, the climbing gear set can be located in Ree Dahee Shrine, which is towards the North of the game’s map. This shrine is located in the Dueling Peaks region, and it’s a straightforward puzzle. Once you enter the shrine, you’ll need to solve a puzzle to earn the Climbing Bandana, and then a Mazes of Trials challenge to receive the Climbing Boots.

The final Climbing Gear piece, the Climbing Gear itself, can be found on the side of the Throat of the World mountain in the Dronoc’s Pass. Specifically, take the path with the torches and look for the giant skeleton’s jaw with the gear inside.

Using Climbing Gear

Once you’ve acquired the climbing gear, you’ll need to know how to use it. The Climbing Bandana increases your stamina replenishment while climbing. The effect works for all your stamina-consuming actions, so you’ll climb, glide, and swim for longer periods without getting exhausted.

The Climbing Boots allow you to climb better on rough and steep surfaces. Usually, you’ll encounter cliffs where you can’t maintain a grip for long or keep falling off. The boots will allow you to stay on these surfaces longer without sliding or losing a grip, assisting you in completing puzzles and reaching new heights safely.

The Climbing Gear set as a whole makes you climb faster and use less of your Stamina Wheel. In total, you will require fewer stamina points to climb when wearing the full set, and it’s easier to scale mountains and big cliffs.

Conclusion

Climbing is one of the most exciting parts of Breath of the Wild. It opens up a new level of exploration to players, with breathtaking views and hidden secrets around every corner. By finding and using the climbing gear set, you’ll be one step closer to becoming an expert rock climber in the game. So grab your gear, and climb to new heights!
