While exploring the lands of Hyrule, especially within The Depths, you will probably come across the nuisance that is the Yiga Clan. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the Yiga Clan played a small role, mainly annoying Link. However, in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the Yiga Clan is back for vengeance.
One way that you can avoid dealing with the Yiga Clan is if you sneak around and refuse to talk to travelers. However, this can be tiresome. Thankfully, Nintendo added an armor set based on the Yiga Clan's armor that is meant to deceive people.
Updated by Erin Rice on June 12, 2023: More information regarding what the Yiga Clan Armor Set can do was found after the writing of this article. This update includes information on that how to enter into Yiga Clan Hideouts, enhancement bonuses, and relevant links.
The Yiga Clan Armor Set
The Yiga Clan armor set isn't very impressive when it comes to its base defense. Each piece only has one base defense, meaning the full set has a base defense of 3. You can upgrade these pieces at any Great Fairy Fountain, though. They require Octorok Eyeballs for the first upgrade. If you enhance the full set to level 2, you will get the Night Speed Up enhancement. The ability the full set has is that it increases Link's Stealth Ability. In addition, it will also make people believe you are a Yiga Clan member if you wear the full set.

Yiga Clan Mask
The Yiga Mask can be found at the Yiga Camp within the Great Plateau region. You will see a camp that is surrounded by a ton of spikes. You can enter through an area where the fence is damaged or paraglide.
Once inside, all you need to do is interact with the door. Two Yiga Clan members will run out of the house and try to ambush you. All you need to do is defeat the two of them, and you can enter their hideout.
Inside the hideout, you will find a tailor working on a Yiga Mask. They will tell you to take it to save them.
Yiga Clan Armor
You can find the Yiga Armor during the "Hateno Village Research Lab" quest. Robbie will ask you to meet him at the Hateno Village Research Lab and then send you on a mission to find his Prototype Travel Medallion from the Akkala Research Lab. The Yiga Armor is inside the Akkala Research Lab.
Once you make it to the former lab, you can interact with the door. Like before, two Yiga Clan members will ambush you. After defeating them, you can enter into the lab.
Inside, you will find another tailor. They will tell you to take the Yiga Armor as a reward.
Yiga Clan Tights
The final piece can be found in the Yiga Clan Maritta Branch hideout. This is located in the Aldor Foothills. You can find the hideout carved into the side of the hill. There will be plenty of Yiga Clan signs to show that you are in the correct area.
Once inside, you will once again need to fight two Yiga Clan members. Once they have been dealt with, you may find it hard to find the last piece. In the other rooms, you'll find Mighty Bananas. There is also a place on the ground where you can move some wooden planks and find a Bubbulfrog. However, you won't see the Yiga Tights. What you need to do is go back to where you fought the two members and use the Ascend Ability on the ceiling.
You'll end up in a small room with the final tailor. They will give you the Yiga Tights as a reward.
Entering The Yiga Clan Hideout
Once you have the full set, put it on and head to the main Yiga Clan Hideout in the Gerudo region. This is in the same area as it was in Breath of the Wild. Once there, Link can enter the hideout and join the Yiga Clan in their training exercises.
