How To Deal With Heat
Equip Armor With Heat Resistance Effect

Environmental Heat can be prevented by equipping Armor with the Heat Resistance effect. You can purchase a Heat Resistance Armor at Kara Kara Bazaar, located just after entering Gerudo Desert. It costs 450 Rupees, so if you don't have enough money to Leg, you should go there after you have scared up the money.

Heat can also be controlled through the effects of Food and Medicine with corresponding materials. Compared to Armor, there is a limit for its effectiveness, so it can be used to compensate until you get the right Armor. Using the right materials will add the effect of Heat Resistance.

What Is Heat?
Climate Specific To Hot Regions Like Deserts

Heat is a phenomenon in which the body temperature rises when entering a hot region, such as Gerudo Desert. It is essential to take countermeasures against it since it will gradually damage Link.
Check The Heat With The Thermometer

You can determine if Heat Resistance is needed by looking at Link's thermometer. If the meter turns red, heat resistance measures are needed. Be careful not to leave it without countermeasures since you will get damaged.
There Are Two Levels Of Heat

There are two levels of heat, and in places where the heat is severe such as deep in the desert, Heat Resistance alone is not enough to counteract the heat. It is advisable to use 2 Heat Resistant armor or 1 Heat Resistant armor with Heat Resistant food to increase the Heat Resistance to Level 2.
