How to Become Fireproof in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
To prevent poor Link from taking flame damage while exploring Death Mountain and other Eldin areas, we know two ways to become fireproof in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom:
- Equip fireproof armor
- Use fire resistant elixirs
Of the two methods, equipping fireproof armor with the “flameproof” perk is the best way to become fireproof, since you don’t have to constantly search for the right ingredients to craft elixirs. Equipping the full set of Enhanced Fire Armor is also the only way we know of in TOTK that gives Link full fire protection.
