What is the Well-Worn Hair Band in Tears of the Kingdom?
TheWell-Worn Hair Bandis a purely cosmetic head armor piece that has no protective purpose and does not offer any armor. It is a blue hair tie that allows players to style Link’s hair into a ponytail, an iconic part ofhis appearance inBreath of the Wild, and unfortunately, it is the only way to change his hairstyle at this time.
While theWell-Worn Hair Bandoffers a great and nostalgic look, it cannot be worn simultaneously with another head armor piece, so players cannot receivearmor set bonusesor other buffs when a specific headpiece is required. It is important to note that the matching Champions' armor pieces do not form a set, so wearing all three pieces will not grant Link any bonuses.
How to Get the Well-Worn Hair Band in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
The secret to discovering the location of the Well-Worn Hair Band will bring players to a familiar place:Link’s house fromBreath of the Wild.
Link’s house can be foundjust south of Firly Pondin East Necluda atcoordinates 3321, -2273, 0129, located southwest of Hateno Village. At these coordinates, players will be right at the front of Link’s house at the foot of a bridge over the pond.
Upon entering the house, players will findone of Zelda’s diarieswith an entry mentioning that she has a secret room constructed by Bolson. To locate the secret room, players need to go to the right side of the house, where they will find a well located at the corner of the fenced-in backyard. This well, known asZelda’s Secret Well, has a ladder that leads deep below the surface to a small, underground cave.
At the foot of the stairs, players will find themselves on a wooden deck next to a small pond featuring a research station area with some desks and shelves. To the left of this is an unlockedtreasure chest,and upon opening the chest, players will receive theWell-Worn Hair Band.
Before leaving, it’s recommended to read the diary on the nearby desk (sorry again, Zelda), where she mentions Link’s worn-out clothes and her order for a new and improved Champion’s Tunic. The tunic is a powerful piece of armor inTears of the Kingdomcalled the Champions Leathers that players will definitely want to hunt down.
This armor, along with the hair band, are essential pieces torecreating Link’s appearancefromBreath of the Wildand completing the iconic, blue-tunic look.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomis available for the Nintendo Switch.
