The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an absolutely massive game. As the sequel to Breath of the Wild, the goal of this game was to fill out the world as much as possible and Nintendo accomplished that. The game is absolutely filled to the brim with random items that you can collect.
Yet one of the more important items for you to collect in Tears of the Kingdom is armor. Having armor is very important not only for defense but to give Link various buffs to make the game easier in various regions. So getting the best armor early is important. That is why the Archaic Tunic is essential at the start of the game. Here, we will teach you how to get the Archaic Tunic in Tears of the Kingdom and why it will prove so useful.

Where Is The Archaic Tunic In Tears Of The Kingdom?
When you first begin Tears of the Kingdom, you are thrown into the tutorial area known as the Great Sky Island. When you walk around a bit and start, you will notice a treasure chest. You will get Archaic Legwear. This is your only piece of clothing when you start so you will want to get the Archaic Tunic for more defense as soon as possible.
To find the Archaic Tunic, you will need to find the Ponside Cave. The Ponside Cave is where the Archaic Tunic is. To get to this cave, you will need to head all the way south of the Great Sky Island. Once you reach the In-isa Shrine, you will head southeast. The Ponside Cave will be southeast of the shrine and that is where you will get the Archaic Tunic.
Is It Worth Getting The Archaic Tunic In Tears Of The Kingdom?
The Archaic Tunic is a very weak piece of chest armor. It only offers one defense point in Tears of the Kingdom, which is not a lot at all. However, there are a few reasons why you will want to get the Archaic Tunic. If you are just starting the game when you are in the Great Sky Island, you will have no chest pieces at all.
Getting some defenses is better than none. The Archaic Tunic could be the difference between life and death during the tutorial area of the Great Sky Island. So it is worth getting at the very beginning for that chance of surviving one more attack.
