Zora Armor

The Zora Armor is a tunic in Twilight Princess. It works in similar fashion to the Zora Tunic in Ocarina of Time, and was designed by the King Zora. Although the King doesn't make an appearance in this game, his wife Queen Rutela does. She rewards the clothing to Link when he helps deliver her son to Kakariko Village safely. The queen makes an apparition to the young hero and guides him to her husband's grave in the Kakariko Village Graveyard, showing him the Zora Armor and then laying down for her eternal rest.

Like the Zora Tunic, the Zora Armor allows Link to breathe underwater as long as he is wearing it. It also allows Link to swim underwater, functioning similarly to the swimming aspect of the Zora Mask of Majora's Mask. With the combination of the Iron Boots, Link can also safely walk on the ocean floor. A new twist, however, makes Link more vulnerable to Fire and Ice attacks while wearing the armor, so it is made to be far more situational rather than a replacement for the current clothing. The armor looks like chain mail with short sleeves, unlike Link's normal tunic. It also has a helmet similar to what Zora soldiers wear, yet smaller and only goes on the forehead, and a mask which covers his mouth and nose whilst in the water.
