There are all types of equipment, from boots to pants to jewelry and they can all help Link in different ways.

Some pieces of clothing are obtained through part of the main story, while others require the completion of side quests or are found in the Shrine puzzles. Some are activated when you tap the proper amiibo, those pieces have been loeft off this list.
