To get your hands on the Rubber Armor early in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, the first thing that you will be required to do is to make your way to the cave that is located next to the Teniten Shrine. The shrine itself is located in the Central Hyrule region south of Whistling Hill, which you can see in the image provided above.

After you have located the cave entrance, here are some of the things that you will be required to do:

  • Make your way to the rock that is nearby and use Link’s Fuze ability to build a Rock Hammer. You will then be able to use that weapon to break through the blocked entrance into the cave.
  • After making your way further in, you will notice some one-eyed bats that you need to take down. You will then reach a wall of vines blocking your way, and you have to fuze a Stone Axe to cut them down.
  • Making your way past that, you will eventually reach the end of the cave, where you will be required to climb the wall and make your way to the platform located to the left. Now using your shield, you will need to block the rockers that are thrown by the worms as you try and make it past them.
  • After successfully achieving it, you will find another blocked entrance in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Whistling Hill cave. You will once again need to break through it using the Rock Hammer. You will then encounter an electric worm that you need to defeat. Make your way past it to find another blocked entrance on the ceiling.
  • This time you will need to attach a Bomb Flower to your arrow and shoot it at the entrance. After scaling the walls, you will come up to the entrance, where you will finally be rewarded with a Rubber Armor inside a chest for all your efforts.
