The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is full of exciting surprises when you complete something significant. You can obtain Monster Medals for killing all of a particular type of monster, you can get certain armor sets for completing quests, and you can obtain some cool horses for doing certain activities.
The Ancient Hero's Aspect is a single piece of armor that acts as an entire set when put on. Unfortunately, it is one of the hardest pieces of armor to obtain in the entire game. However, here's a guide to help you obtain it much faster.
The Ancient Hero's Aspect
The Ancient Hero's Aspect gives a base defense of 12. It acts as though it is all three pieces of an armor set. The design is based on the design of the Zonai. This armor set can be enhanced at the various Great Fairy Fountains around Hyrule. The enhancements do cost more Rupees and require more materials than all other armors in the game. It cannot be dyed at the Hateno Village Dye Shop. The description of the armor piece reads, "This item is said to contain the spirit of a hero who once saved Hyrule. That hero's aura will envelop the wearer." The only set bonus offered is the Master Sword Beam Up bonus.

How To Obtain The Ancient Hero's Aspect
This armor is the hardest set to get in the game; however, it is also the best. In order to obtain it, you will need to find and complete all 152 Shrines in the game.
As you complete Shrines, you will obtain an item known as Light of Blessing. You'll need to collect all 152.
Once you have finished your last Shrine, the statues of King Rauru and Queen Sonia will ask Link to return to the Temple of Time (on the Great Sky Island).
This amazing piece will be waiting for you behind the Goddess Statue in the Temple of Time.
Tips For Finding Shrines
If you want to be able to find all Shrines in the game, here are a couple of tips. If you want a guide on the location of all Shrines, you can find it here.
Shrine Sensor
One way to find Shrines is to use the Shrine Sensor. To do this, you'll need to complete the quest "Hateno Village Research Lab." This can be obtained after you get the Autobuild Ability. This Shrine Sensor will alert you anytime a Shrine is nearby.
Look At Lightroots
There are 120 Lightroots in The Depths. Each Lightroot is located directly below a Shrine. If you find all the Lightroots, you'll know the location of 120 out of the 152 Shrines.
