Wear Armor with Cold Resistance

The two blue bars below the Cold Resistance's icon indicate that this armor set grants Level 2 Cold Resistance buff.

One way to permanently get the Cold Resistance buff is to wear armor that grants this effect. The Snowquill armor set grants the level 2 Cold Resistance set bonus, which prevents you from freezing at low temperatures.

The Snowquill Set is the Best Cold Resistant Armor

The Snowquill Set provides the highest resistance against the cold out of all the cold resistant armors in the game.

It also grants the Unfreezable armor effect when all pieces are fully upgraded, which is useful when fighting frost enemies as they won't be able to freeze you while this effect is active.

Cook Food and Elixirs that Give Cold Resistance

If you do not have any armor with Cold Resistance effect, you can cook food or create elixirs to get this buff temporarily.

Note that only cooked food and elixirs with the "Spicy" prefix on their names give the Cold Resistance buff, so be sure to check your recipe carefully before creating them in the cooking pot!

Fuse Rubies to Weapons

Besides adding fire elements to attacks when fused to a weapon, a Ruby also gives off warmth whenever you are holding a weapon fused with it.

This is useful when exploring in mildly cold regions where you don't want to lose your equipped armor's bonuses and still survive the temperature.

Do note that this is less effective in areas where the temperature drops to the lowest, and equipping armor is a better choice.

Grants Protection from the Cold

Cold Resistance allows you to withstand low and freezing temperatures when exploring colder environments such as the snowy mountains of the Hebra and Gerudo Highlands regions, as well as the harsh climate of Gerudo Desert at night.

Useful When Fighting Against Frost Enemies

It's also useful when fighting enemies that have the ability to freeze such as the Frost Gleeok as it makes Link unfreezable against all forms of ice attacks.
